FAQs
Are these boots suitable for artificial grass pitches?
No, these Skechers SKX 01 Elite boots are designed specifically for Firm Ground (FG) surfaces. Using them on artificial grass (AG) is not recommended and may lead to premature wear or reduced performance.
How do I determine the correct size?
These boots are listed in UK adult sizing. It's best to measure your foot length and compare it to a Skechers sizing chart, or try them on to ensure a comfortable and secure fit, especially if you have specific foot width concerns. This particular variant is UK size 6.
What is the benefit of the 'Knitted Collar'?
The knitted collar provides a 'locked-in' feel around your ankle, offering a snug and supportive fit. This helps reduce movement between your foot and the boot, enhancing stability and control during quick changes of direction.
Can I machine wash these football boots?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the synthetic materials, cushioning, and overall structure of the boots. Always clean them by hand with a damp cloth and air dry naturally.
What does 'Hyper Burst Pro TPU cushioning' do?
Hyper Burst Pro TPU cushioning is engineered to provide responsive stability. It helps absorb the impact of running and jumping while returning energy, enhancing comfort and supporting dynamic movements on firm ground surfaces.
Are these boots waterproof?
While the synthetic upper offers some water resistance, these boots are not fully waterproof. They are designed for use on dry to slightly damp firm ground pitches. Heavy rain or water submersion may lead to water ingress.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel uncomfortable or too tight.
Ensure you have the correct size. New boots may require a short break-in period. Try different types or thicknesses of socks. If discomfort persists, re-evaluate sizing.
Reduced traction on the field.
Confirm you are playing on a firm ground surface, as these boots are specifically designed for it. Check the studs for any embedded mud or debris and clean them thoroughly. Worn studs can also lead to poor traction.
Foot slipping inside the boot.
Re-lace your boots to ensure a snugger fit, making sure the knots are secure. Consider socks with better grip or moisture-wicking properties to prevent internal movement.
Synthetic upper appears dull or dirty.
Clean the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes that could scratch the material. Regular cleaning after each use helps maintain its appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Sizing: Ensure you select the correct UK size for a comfortable and performance-enhancing fit. These boots are specifically size 6 UK for adults.
- Lacing: Lace your boots snugly but not overly tight. The goal is a secure, locked-in feel that allows for full range of motion and prevents slippage without restricting blood flow.
- Break-in: While modern boots often require less break-in time, it's advisable to wear them for a few lighter training sessions before a full match to allow them to mold to your foot shape.
Compatibility
These boots are explicitly designed for Firm Ground (FG) surfaces. This means they are best suited for natural grass pitches that are dry or slightly damp. They are not recommended for:
- Artificial Turf (AG)
- Soft Ground (SG)
- Indoor surfaces
Using them on incompatible surfaces can lead to premature wear of the studs, reduced performance, and potential injury.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your Skechers SKX 01 Elite boots:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe off mud and dirt using a damp cloth. Avoid harsh brushes that could damage the synthetic upper. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution if necessary.
- Drying: Always air dry your boots naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, heaters, direct sunlight) as this can cause the synthetic materials to crack or stiffen.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place. Using boot trees can help maintain their shape.
- Product Label: Always refer to the product label inside the boot for any specific care instructions from the manufacturer.
