Kickers Scuff Lo - Black - Size 12

These specific Kickers Scuff Lo shoes are designed for infants, typically around the age where they are taking their first steps or are very active toddlers. This particular model is UK size 12.

For routine cleaning, wipe the shoes with a damp cloth. For more thorough cleaning and to maintain the leather, use a specialist leather cleaner and conditioner, followed by a black leather polish for shine and protection. Do not machine wash.

While they are a durable and comfortable black leather shoe, the 'Scuff Lo' series is primarily designed for infants. For older children in school, Kickers offers other 'Scuff Lo' variants that might be more appropriate for school uniform requirements and older child sizing.

The shoes are made of leather and are not explicitly designed to be waterproof. While they can handle light dampness, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles is not recommended and can damage the leather. For wet conditions, consider applying a waterproofing spray suitable for leather footwear.

This particular model (Kickers Scuff Lo Black Leather) is available in black. Other Kickers styles or series may offer different color options, but for the 'Scuff Lo' infant range, black is a primary option.

It's best to measure your child's feet regularly, as they grow quickly. Ensure there's about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe. The padded collar and strap should offer a snug but comfortable fit around the ankle, without being restrictive.

Ensure the size is correct for the infant's foot. Loosen the strap slightly. Check for socks bunching up inside. Remember feet can swell, so try them on at different times of the day.

Clean the shoes with a damp cloth, then apply a suitable leather conditioner. Regular polishing with a black leather polish can restore shine and cover minor scuffs. For deeper scuffs, a leather repair balm might be needed.

Check for debris or dirt on the hook-and-loop fastening mechanism. Clean it thoroughly with a small brush or cloth to remove any obstructions. If the fastening appears worn out, it may require professional repair.

Ensure the strap is fastened snugly around the ankle, but not excessively tight. Check if the shoe size is appropriate; shoes that are too large will often slip. Consider thicker socks if the fit is still loose.
