Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Your Kickers Kick Hi boots arrive ready to wear. Simply unlace them, slip your foot in, and lace them up, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit. Double-knotting the laces is recommended, especially for active kids, to prevent them from coming undone.
- Unlace: Loosen the laces sufficiently to easily slide your foot in.
- Insert Foot: Gently slide your foot into the boot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated.
- Lace Up: Begin lacing from the bottom, pulling firmly but not too tightly through each brass eyelet.
- Secure Knot: Tie a secure knot, preferably a double knot, to keep laces in place.
Compatibility:
- Sizing: This specific model is a UK Children's Size 3. Kickers generally run true to size, but consider trying them on with the type of socks your child typically wears.
- Gender: The Kickers Kick Hi is a unisex design, suitable for both boys and girls.
- Style: The classic black leather design is highly versatile, compatible with a wide range of outfits from school uniforms to casual wear.
Care Instructions:
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your leather Kick Hi boots.
- Regular Cleaning: After wear, especially if soiled, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner.
- Conditioning: Every few weeks or as needed, apply a leather conditioner or cream. This keeps the leather supple, prevents drying and cracking, and maintains its natural luster.
- Polishing: For an extra shine and to cover minor scuffs, use a black shoe polish. Apply with a soft cloth, let it dry, then buff to a shine.
- Water Protection: While the leather offers some natural water resistance, consider applying a waterproof spray designed for leather footwear. Reapply periodically, especially before wet weather.
- Drying: If boots get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, which can damage the leather.
- Storage: When not in use, store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Boot trees can help maintain their shape.
- Sole Care: Regularly check the chunky sole for embedded debris. Clean with a stiff brush if necessary.
