FAQs
What age group are these shoes designed for?
These Kickers Kick T Bar Shoes are specifically designed for infants, available in UK Infant size 7.
Are these shoes suitable for school uniforms?
Yes, with their black patent leather and classic T-bar design, they are typically suitable for most school uniform policies requiring black, sturdy footwear.
How do I clean the patent leather material?
Wipe them regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a patent leather cleaner and buff gently. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Are the shoes waterproof?
While patent leather offers some natural water resistance, these shoes are not fully waterproof. For enhanced protection, you can apply a water and stain protector spray suitable for leather.
How do I ensure I get the correct size for my child?
It's best to measure your child's foot and consult the official Kickers size guide. Ensure there's about a thumb's width space at the toe for growth.
Can these shoes be worn by both boys and girls?
While this specific variant is listed as 'Male' in its attributes, the classic T-bar style is often considered a versatile and timeless design suitable for any infant, regardless of gender.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
First, check the size against your child's current foot measurements. Ensure the adjustable buckle strap is correctly fastened – it should be snug but not restrictive. Try loosening or tightening the strap to find the optimal fit. Remember, a child's foot can swell slightly throughout the day, so check fit at different times.
Scuffs or marks appear on the patent leather.
For light scuffs, gently rub the area with a soft, damp cloth. For more noticeable marks, use a specialized patent leather cleaner or a small amount of petroleum jelly, buffing gently with a soft cloth. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Squeaky soles when walking.
Squeaking can sometimes occur with new shoes or if moisture gets between parts of the shoe. Try dusting a little talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole if it's removable. If the squeak is from the sole itself, it may reduce with wear or might indicate a manufacturing issue (Info needed: contact customer support if persistent).
Shoes lose their shine.
Regularly wipe the patent leather with a soft, clean, damp cloth. For a deeper shine, use a patent leather conditioner or polish specifically designed to restore luster. Avoid using standard shoe polish, as it can dull patent finishes.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Robust Construction: Built to withstand the rigors of infant activity and school environments.
- Easy to Fasten: The buckle closure allows for quick adjustments and secure fastening by parents.
- Classic Style: The T-bar design and patent finish offer a smart and versatile look for various occasions.

Cons
- Care Intensive: Patent leather requires regular cleaning and specific products to maintain its shine and prevent scuffs.

- Outgrowing Speed: Infants grow quickly, meaning these shoes may be outgrown faster than adult footwear.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unpack: Remove shoes from packaging.
- Adjust Buckle: Unfasten the buckle and adjust the strap to achieve a comfortable yet snug fit around your infant's foot. Ensure there's enough room for growth (about a thumb's width at the toe) but not so much that the foot slips.
- Fasten Securely: Re-fasten the buckle, ensuring it is neither too tight nor too loose to prevent discomfort or slipping.
Compatibility
- School Uniforms: These black patent leather T-bar shoes are highly compatible with most school uniform requirements for black, sturdy footwear.
- Sizing: Designed for UK Infant size 7 (Male). Always refer to Kickers' official sizing guides to ensure the best fit for your child's foot measurements.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning Patent Leather: Wipe down regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, use a patent leather cleaner, applying sparingly with a soft cloth and buffing gently.
- Polishing: While patent leather has a natural shine, specific patent leather polishes can help maintain its luster and protect against minor abrasions. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
- Drying: If shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees or stuffing with tissue paper can help maintain their shape.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain protector spray designed for leather to add an extra layer of defense against moisture and dirt.
