DESPITE owning more pairs of shoes than any other man I know, I have a habit of wearing the same pair every day. I’m fairly sure I’ve permanently damaged my feet by wearing the same pair of loafers essentially every day of summer. Kick Hi 75, £120 from Kickers And now that the cooler weather is drawing in, I’m on the lookout for the pair of boots that will coax me through what’s predicted to be one of the most miserable winters in a long time. Sign up for the Fabulous newsletter Thank you! I’d been struggling to decide until a press release from Kickers came across my desk, advertising the reimagined Kickers Kick Hi 75, which came out last week. First things first – they’re £120. That might sound expensive at first glance, but there’s a reason that Kickers has been a top choice of shoe for parents for decades – they’re near-impossible to destroy. Even our home and garden writer Hannah says so, writing in her piece about Kickers Boys School Shoes that “Kickers shoes manage to survive my three little wrecking balls the whole year“. It’s also worth bearing in mind that a similar pair of boots would usually cost more – a pair of Dr. Martens 1460s will set you back £170 these days, for example. Kick Hi 75, £120 from Kickers And although it makes highly-regarded school shoes, Kickers also comes with cultural clout: they’ve been worn by everyone from David Bowie to Liam Gallagher. The new campaign that Kickers is pushing to celebrate the new shoes (which form part of its 75th anniversary celebrations) stars DJ and London it-girl Eliza Rose. And while they’ve got a definite, recognisable design, they’re also really versatile – stylish enough for a day out and smart enough for dinner. They’d go especially well with denim, and although they’re boots, I reckon they’d also pair really well with shorts when the sun (eventually) returns. And with a unisex design and four colours available (Black, Natural, Red and Blue, in sizes 3-12) there’s a pair for everyone.
