Kickers have been about for 32 years. Some parents might even remember pestering their parents for some back in the day. They are a well-known and well-loved brand and they receive consistently good reviews.
They're known for their trademark durable rubber soles and they have a huge selection to choose from, including their new vegan range - which is at the same price point as the original leather shoes, so parents can make eco choices without price being a factor.
