FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather construction is naturally resistant to light splashes, these boots are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in puddles.
Can the insoles be removed?
The Ortholite insock is designed to provide optimal comfort and is generally meant to remain in the shoe.
How do I know if they fit correctly?
There should be about a thumb's width of space between the end of the child's longest toe and the front of the boot to allow for growth.
Are the laces functional?
The laces are elasticated, meaning they provide the necessary tension to keep the boot secure without needing to be tied manually.
What age group are these boots best for?
These boots are specifically engineered for toddlers who are developing their walking patterns and need extra support.
Troubleshooting
Side zip feels stiff or hard to pull
Apply a small amount of clear candle wax or a dedicated zipper lubricant to the zip teeth to improve movement.
Boots have developed scuffs on the leather
Use a white shoe cream or polish designed for leather to buff out minor marks and restore the color.
Foot is difficult to insert
Ensure the elasticated laces are adjusted to provide maximum opening width before attempting to slide the foot in.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Kickers Playflex boots last, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a damp cloth after use to remove surface dirt and mud. Avoid machine washing, as this can damage the leather.
- Leather Treatment: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Use a matching white polish if scuffing occurs.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can cause the leather to stiffen.
- Fit Check: Since toddlers grow quickly, check the fit every 6–8 weeks to ensure there is enough room in the toe box for healthy foot development.
