FAQs
Can I use these boots on artificial grass?
These boots are specifically designed for firm ground (FG) natural grass. Using them on artificial surfaces may lead to premature wear and excessive stress on the soleplate.
How do I ensure the right fit?
The SKX_2 Academy follows standard adult sizing. It is recommended to leave about half an inch of space at the front for maximum comfort during intense play.
Are these boots waterproof?
They are designed for breathability. While they can handle damp grass, they are not fully waterproof and should be dried properly after exposure to rain.
What is the purpose of the TPU plate?
The TPU plate provides a stable, responsive base that helps with energy transfer when sprinting and stabilizes the foot during directional changes.
How often should I clean my boots?
You should clean your boots after every single use to prevent grit and moisture from degrading the materials.
Troubleshooting
Accumulation of mud around the studs
Use a specialized boot scraper or a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud immediately after use to maintain traction.
Boots feel slippery on the pitch
Ensure the studs are not excessively worn. If the grass is extremely wet or muddy, clean the outsole thoroughly to expose the full stud profile.

Care Instructions:
- Wipe away excess mud with a soft brush after every match.
- Use a damp cloth to clean the upper; avoid harsh chemical detergents.
