FAQs
What type of playing surface are these boots designed for?
These Skechers SKX 01 Low boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) surfaces, which includes natural grass pitches that are dry or slightly damp.
Can these boots be used on artificial turf?
No, these boots are not recommended for artificial turf. Using FG boots on artificial turf can reduce grip, cause premature wear to the studs and surface, and may increase the risk of injury. Look for boots specifically designed for Artificial Ground (AG) if you play on turf.
How do I clean my Skechers SKX 01 boots?
After use, tap off excess mud. Wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Will the Flyknit upper stretch over time?
The Flyknit upper is designed to adapt to the shape of your foot for a snug, comfortable fit. While it offers flexibility, it maintains its structural integrity and shouldn't 'stretch out' excessively in a way that compromises fit.
Are these boots suitable for competitive matches?
Yes, with their enhanced ball control features, secure fit, and exceptional traction, these boots are ideal for competitive weekend league games and regular training sessions for young players.
What is the composition of the boots?
The upper is synthetic, the lining is textile, and the sole consists of a textile inner and a synthetic outer. This blend provides durability, comfort, and performance.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you've chosen the correct size. The Flyknit upper will adapt, but if too tight initially, try loosening the laces and wearing them for short periods to break them in. If discomfort persists, reassess sizing.
Slipping on the pitch.
Confirm you are playing on a firm ground surface. These boots are not designed for soft, wet, or artificial pitches. Check the soleplate for any debris or excessive wear on the studs that might reduce traction.
Laces come undone frequently during play.
Ensure you are using a secure double knot when lacing. Consider trying different lacing techniques that may offer a tighter hold. Replace worn or frayed laces if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Loosen the laces adequately before putting on the boots.

Compatibility
These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) surfaces. This includes natural grass pitches that are dry or slightly damp. They are not recommended for Artificial Ground (AG), Turf (TF), or Soft Ground (SG) pitches, as using them on unsuitable surfaces can compromise performance, durability, and potentially cause injury.
Care
- Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and mud by gently tapping the boots together. Wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth. For tougher grime, a mild soap solution can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the materials and affect the fit.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using boot trees or stuffing them with newspaper can help maintain their shape.
- Inspection: Regularly check laces, studs, and the upper for any signs of wear or damage. Replace laces if frayed.
