Setup
- Lacing: When first wearing your SKX_2 Elite FG boots, ensure you lace them properly. The Performance FitKnit™ upper is designed to adapt to your foot, so adjust the laces evenly for a snug, comfortable, and secure fit without being overly tight. Experiment with different lacing patterns if needed to find your ideal feel.
- Break-in Period: While designed for immediate comfort, a short break-in period on a training pitch can help the boots fully mold to your feet.
Compatibility
These boots are specifically engineered for Firm Ground (FG) surfaces. This means they are best suited for natural grass pitches that are dry to slightly damp. Using them on artificial grass (AG), soft ground (SG), or very hard ground may reduce performance and accelerate wear.
Care
- Cleaning: After each use, especially on muddy pitches, clean your boots. Gently wipe the synthetic/textile upper and outsole with a damp cloth. A mild soap solution can be used for stubborn dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes.
- Drying: Allow your boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them directly on heaters or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials and adhesives. You can stuff them with newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing to prevent odors and material degradation.
