Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your Kickers Kick Hi Boots is straightforward:
- Lacing: Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets. Start from the bottom, crossing laces over and through the next eyelet.
- Fit: Loosen the laces sufficiently to allow your child's foot to slide in comfortably.
- Tightening: Once the foot is in, pull the laces evenly to achieve a snug, secure fit without being too tight. Tie a double knot to prevent laces from coming undone during activity.
- Initial Wear: Encourage your child to wear them for short periods initially to break them in, especially if they are new to leather boots.
Compatibility
These Kickers Kick Hi Boots are specifically designed as unisex footwear for kids, in a UK Size 6. The Kick Hi series is renowned for its timeless design that complements various outfits. While this specific model is a UK kids' size 6, the Kickers Kick Hi range is available in a wide array of sizes for infants, toddlers, and adults, and various colours and materials.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the high-shine appearance of your Kickers Kick Hi Boots:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the boots with a damp cloth after each wear to remove dirt and dust.
- Polishing: For the high-shine leather, use a good quality black shoe polish regularly. Apply with a soft cloth, let it dry, then buff to a shine with a clean brush or cloth.
- Drying: If the 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.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Scuff Management: Minor scuffs on the high-shine leather can often be buffed out with polish. For deeper scuffs, a leather repair balm might be needed.
- Sole Care: Check the rubber sole periodically for embedded stones or debris and remove them to maintain grip.
