FAQs
Can I use these boots on artificial grass?
These boots are specifically engineered for firm ground (FG) natural grass; using them on artificial turf may cause premature wear and loss of traction.
How should I clean the SKX_2 Academy boots?
Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat.
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
The soft upper is designed to accommodate various foot shapes, but we recommend trying them on to ensure a comfortable fit.
What does the TPU plate do?
The TPU plate provides a stable, responsive base that helps with energy return and balance during high-intensity movements.
Can I replace the studs?
No, the FG studs on the Academy model are moulded directly into the plate and are not replaceable.
How long will the Move Foam cushioning last?
The cushioning is durable, but effectiveness depends on intensity and frequency of play.
Troubleshooting
Studs collecting excessive mud
Use a specialized plastic scraper to gently remove debris after matches to maintain optimal traction.
Discomfort during initial wear
Ensure your laces are properly adjusted to secure your foot; if persistent, consider using a break-in period during light training sessions.
Upper material appears dry or scuffed
Gently clean with a damp cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners to preserve the integrity of the moulded upper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, verify that the firm ground (FG) stud configuration matches your playing surface. Avoid using these boots on artificial grass (AG) or soft ground (SG) to prevent excessive wear or slipping. After each match, remove loose dirt using a soft brush. Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Always air dry your boots naturally at room temperature; do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators, as this can degrade the materials and affect the fit.
