Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?
These are designed for firm ground (FG) natural grass. Using them on artificial grass may cause excessive wear to the studs.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
The SKX_2 Academy boots are designed for a precision fit. We recommend wearing the same thickness of socks you plan to use during matches when trying them on.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and structural foam components. Stick to hand cleaning with a damp cloth.
What is the purpose of the Move Foam?
Move Foam is integrated into the footbed to provide superior shock absorption and comfort, protecting your joints during impact.
How should I store them?
Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the materials from drying out or losing shape.
Troubleshooting
Studs collecting excessive mud
Use a dull plastic scraper or soft brush to clear the gaps between studs after each match to maintain optimal grip.
Boot feels slippery during initial use
New boots may have a slight factory finish on the sole; lightly scuff the bottom of the studs on a natural pitch to increase surface friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your boots, follow these guidelines:
- Surface Compatibility: Use exclusively on firm, natural ground. Avoid using these on concrete, artificial grass (unless specifically rated), or indoor hardwood, as this can damage the TPU plate and studs.
- Cleaning: After play, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid submerging the boots in water.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as excessive heat can deform the foam cushioning and upper materials.
- Fit: Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks to get the true feel of the performance fit.
