Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of pitch are these boots designed for?

These boots are designed for firm ground (FG) pitches, which typically refers to natural grass pitches that are not excessively wet or muddy.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the product sizing guide or compare with your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider your foot width and preferred fit. The listed size is UK 6.5.

What is the main benefit of the Move Foam cushioning?

Move Foam provides effective impact absorption when landing and changing direction, while also returning energy to help keep you feeling fresh throughout the game.

Can these boots be used on artificial turf?

No, these FG boots are not recommended for artificial turf. Using them on artificial surfaces can cause premature wear and potentially affect performance and stability.

How much do these boots weigh?

The Skechers SKX_2 Academy FG football boots weigh approximately 227g.

Who is the SKX range endorsed by?

The SKX range is endorsed by Harry Kane.

How do I clean the boots?

Clean with a soft brush to remove dirt, then use a slightly damp cloth. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight upon first wear.

The engineered mesh is designed to offer a secure fit. Wear them around the house for short periods to allow them to mold to your feet. Consider if the sizing is correct for your foot width.

Traction feels insufficient on wet grass.

These boots are designed for firm ground. Traction may be reduced on wet or soft ground conditions. For such conditions, consider alternative boots with different stud configurations (e.g., SG - Soft Ground).

Difficulty removing mud from the upper.

Allow mud to dry slightly, then brush off as much as possible. Use a damp cloth for remaining residue. Avoid using harsh detergents or excessive water.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced ball control and touch with textured upper.
  • Lightweight design promotes agility and speed.
  • Responsive cushioning for impact absorption and energy return.
  • Secure midfoot lockdown for stability during quick changes of direction.
  • Durable firm ground plate for reliable traction.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for firm ground (FG) surfaces, limiting versatility.
  • May require a break-in period for optimal comfort.
  • The engineered mesh upper, while comfortable, might be less durable than traditional leather for some players.
  • May not offer sufficient ankle support for players who prefer high-top designs.
  • Colorway might be too bold for players preferring understated gear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These boots are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably before your first game.

Compatibility: The SKX_2 Academy FG is specifically designed for use on firm natural grass surfaces. They are not recommended for artificial grass, hard ground, or indoor courts, as this can lead to premature wear or injury.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush. Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe down the upper and soleplate. Avoid soaking the boots in water.
  2. Drying: Stuff the boots with newspaper or a towel to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
  3. Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a breathable boot bag, to prevent damage and maintain their condition.
