Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure the laces are tightened evenly from the toe to the ankle. A snug fit, without being overly restrictive, will maximize the benefits of the Performance FitKnit™ upper and carbon-infused plate.
- Socks: Wear your usual football socks to ensure the boots fit as they will during play.
- Break-in: While designed for immediate comfort, some players may experience a short break-in period. Wear them for light training sessions before a full match.
Compatibility
These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches. This includes natural grass fields that are dry and firm. Using them on artificial grass (AG), wet natural grass, or soft ground (SG) pitches is not recommended as it can compromise performance, durability, and may increase the risk of injury.
Care
- Cleaning: After each use, gently brush off any loose dirt or mud. Use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the synthetic upper and outsole. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes that could damage the material.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct sunlight or use artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers), as this can cause materials to stiffen, crack, or lose shape.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in damp gym bags for extended periods to prevent odor and mildew.
- Product Label: Always refer to the product label inside the boots for any specific care instructions from Skechers.
