Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
When first using your Skechers Razor Elite FG boots, a short break-in period is recommended to allow the FitKnit upper and Hyper Burst Pro sockliner to adapt to your foot shape. Wear them for light training sessions or walks before competitive matches. Ensure laces are tied snugly but comfortably, utilizing the flat knit yarn closure for an adaptable fit.
Compatibility
These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches. This includes natural grass surfaces that are firm and relatively dry. Using them on artificial grass (AG), soft ground (SG), or very hard ground may compromise performance, durability, and potentially void any product guarantees. Always check the pitch conditions before play.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your boots:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. For tougher grime, use a mild soap solution and a soft sponge. The leatherfeel synthetic forefoot should be wiped gently. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers), as this can damage materials like the FitKnit upper and the adhesive.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag to protect them from dust and damage. Placing newspaper inside can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the chevron studs for wear or damage. While the carbon-infused soleplate is durable, regular inspection is good practice.
