Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Skechers SKX_2 Academy boots last throughout the season, follow these steps:
- Breaking In: Wear them for short 20-minute sessions on grass before a full match to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
- Compatibility: These boots feature Firm Ground (FG) studs designed for natural grass. Avoid wearing these on concrete, indoor courts, or heavily filled artificial turf to prevent premature wear and potential injury.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud after every session. Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Never submerge the boots in water or use a washing machine, as this can degrade the Move Foam and upper adhesives.
- Drying: Air dry the boots in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the materials to crack or warp.
