FAQs
How do I know what size to get for my infant?
It's always best to measure your child's foot and consult a Kickers size guide. For this specific model, the size is UK 7 for infants. Ensure there's a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the boot.
Are these boots waterproof?
While made of leather, these boots are not fully waterproof. They offer good protection against light moisture but are not designed for heavy rain or deep puddles.
Can these boots be worn by both boys and girls?
Although the attribute specifies "Female" gender, the product description highlights their "versatile" nature and suitability for "many occasions" and pairing with "skirts or trousers." Many parents find classic black boots like these to be unisex in style.
How do I clean the shiny patent leather without damaging it?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For scuffs or to restore shine, apply a small amount of specialized patent leather cleaner or a tiny bit of petroleum jelly, then buff gently with a clean, soft cloth.
Do these boots have good grip for active infants?
Yes, the Kickers Chi Zip boots feature "grip-granting cleated soles" specifically designed to provide reliable traction and stability for little ones on the move.
What should I do if the side zip gets stuck?
First, check if any fabric or debris is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper pull up and down. If it remains stuck, try applying a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Is the inner lining comfortable for infants?
Yes, the boots are designed with "synthetic linings" which contribute to overall comfort for an infant's foot.
Troubleshooting

Ensure the side zip is fully open before attempting to slide the foot in. Check that socks are not bunched up.

Care
Cleaning: Wipe down the patent leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and scuffs. For stubborn marks, use a patent leather cleaner designed for glossy finishes.
