Kickers

What are Kickers shoes?
Kickers is a French footwear brand, founded in Paris in 1970. Their iconic Kick shoes — with the distinctive red and yellow tongue label — have been a staple of British school life for over 50 years. Robust, practical, and with a cult following across generations, Kickers remain one of the most recognisable children's school shoes in the UK.

Are Kickers shoes good for school?
Kickers school shoes are built for exactly this — daily wear, playground rough-and-tumble, and everything in between. The leather uppers are durable and easy to clean; the soles are tough and grippy; the wide fit is comfortable for all-day wear. Many parents who wore Kickers themselves are now buying them for their own children.

Can I try Kickers in your Huddersfield shoe shop?
Yes — we stock Kickers in The Shoe Shop at 5 Carr Lane, Slaithwaite, Huddersfield HD7 5AN. Getting the right fit for school shoes is important — a shoe that's too tight causes discomfort; too loose and it won't provide proper support. Our fitters will measure both feet and make sure you leave with the correct size. No appointment needed.

How do Kickers sizes run?
Kickers generally run true to UK size, though we always recommend measuring rather than assuming — children's feet can grow half a size between visits. Pop into our Huddersfield store and we'll do a proper measurement; it takes just a few minutes and removes all the guesswork.

Are Kickers easy to look after?
Kickers leather shoes respond well to regular polishing and conditioning. A quick wipe after school and a polish at weekends will keep them looking smart all term. Suede styles should be brushed and treated with a suede protector spray. Our team in store can advise on the right products to keep your child's Kickers in good shape.
