FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for school uniforms?
Yes, the Kickers Kick T Bar Shoes in black leather are specifically designed and styled to be perfect for school uniforms, offering a classic and durable option.
How do I ensure the correct fit with the buckle closure?
The buckle allows for adjustment. Fasten it so the strap is snug against the foot without pinching or restricting movement. There should be enough room to wiggle toes comfortably.
What kind of lining do these shoes have?
These shoes feature either an unlined interior or a manmade/leather lining. For styles that are lined, 100% recycled mesh is used for added comfort and breathability.
Are Kickers shoes environmentally friendly?
Kickers is committed to sustainability. Their shoeboxes are FSC certified, made from 90% recycled material with natural soya ink, and are 100% recyclable. Additionally, all black rubber soles are made from 20% recycled material, and all leathers come from Leather Working Group certified tanneries.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
While the leather is durable, it's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. If the shoes do get wet, always dry them naturally away from direct heat or light to prevent damage to the leather. For extra protection, consider using a leather protector spray.
What does 'T-bar design' mean?
A T-bar design refers to the strap configuration where a central strap runs vertically up the foot, connecting to a horizontal strap that goes across the ankle. This forms a 'T' shape, providing a secure and distinctive style.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Encourage the child to wear them for short periods at first, gradually increasing wear time. Using a thin, comfortable sock can also help reduce friction.
Scuff marks appear on the leather.
For minor scuffs, clean the area with a damp cloth. Once dry, apply a matching black leather shoe polish and buff gently with a soft brush or cloth. For deeper scuffs, a leather repair cream might be necessary.
Buckle feels too tight or too loose.
The buckle fastening is adjustable. Experiment with different holes on the strap to find the most comfortable and secure fit for the child's foot. It should be snug enough to hold the foot, but not so tight as to cause discomfort or leave marks.
Shoes have an odor.
Ensure the child wears clean socks. If odor persists, remove insoles (if removable) and air them out. You can also sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight and then shake it out in the morning to absorb odors.

Setup
- Unboxing: Remove shoes from the FSC certified, 100% recyclable shoebox.

Compatibility

Care Instructions
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, a mild leather cleaner can be used.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, do not place them near direct heat sources (like radiators) or in direct sunlight. Allow them to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area to prevent cracking or warping of the leather.
- Polishing: Periodically apply a suitable black leather shoe polish to maintain shine and nourish the leather, especially for scuff marks.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the leather.
