FAQs
What type of playing surface are these boots best suited for?
These Skechers SKX_ 1.5 Elite FG Shoes are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) surfaces, which are typically natural grass pitches that are firm, dry, or slightly damp.
Can I use these boots on artificial grass (AG) fields?
No, it is not recommended to use FG boots on artificial grass. The stud configuration is optimized for natural grass and using them on AG can cause premature wear to the studs and outsole, and may also compromise your traction and safety.
How do I clean my Skechers SKX_ 1.5 Elite FG boots?
After each use, wipe off dirt and mud from the upper with a damp cloth. Use a soft brush to clean the studs and outsole. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
What is HYPER BURST PRO™ cushioning?
HYPER BURST PRO™ is an advanced cushioning technology used in Skechers footwear. It's a highly responsive and ultra-lightweight foam designed to provide excellent energy return and comfort, helping to reduce impact and support explosive movements.
What is the benefit of the P.S.C. moulding detail?
The P.S.C. moulding detail refers to strategically placed textures on the boot's upper. Its primary benefit is to enhance your touch and control over the ball, allowing for more precise dribbling, passing, and shooting.
How important is the fit for these boots?
A proper fit is crucial for optimal performance. The Performance FitKnit™ upper is designed to provide a secure and adaptive fit, which is essential for maximizing ball control, traction, and overall comfort, and preventing issues like blistering.
Are these boots waterproof?
While the synthetic/textile upper offers some resistance to moisture, these boots are not fully waterproof. They are designed to withstand normal pitch conditions, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions may lead to water absorption.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. The Performance FitKnit™ upper may require a short break-in period. Try adjusting your lacing technique to alleviate pressure points. If discomfort persists, consider trying a different size or width.
Losing traction on the field.
Verify that you are playing on a Firm Ground (FG) surface. Ensure the outsole and studs are clean and free from mud or debris, which can reduce grip. If playing on an unsuitable surface, traction will naturally be compromised.
Difficulty with ball control.
Ensure your boots are laced securely, as a loose fit can reduce responsiveness. Practice with the boots to get accustomed to the P.S.C. moulding detail, which is designed to enhance touch but may feel different initially.
Excessive foot fatigue during play.
While the HYPER BURST PRO™ cushioning is designed for comfort, prolonged fatigue could indicate an incorrect fit or a need for different socks. Ensure your laces are not too tight, restricting circulation. Consider if the boots are fully broken in.
Materials showing signs of premature wear.
Ensure proper cleaning and drying after each use. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods. Rotate your boots if you play frequently, giving them time to recover and extending their overall life. Ensure they are used only on appropriate surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure the Performance FitKnit™ upper is laced securely but comfortably. Start lacing from the bottom eyelets and work your way up, ensuring even tension across your foot. A snug fit is crucial for ball control and support.
- First Use: It's recommended to wear the boots for a short period during practice sessions before a full match to allow them to break in and mold to your foot shape.
Compatibility
- Surface: These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches. This includes natural grass fields that are firm, dry, or slightly damp. They are not recommended for artificial grass (AG), soft ground (SG), or indoor surfaces, as this can damage the outsole and compromise traction.
- Fit: The Performance FitKnit™ upper aims for an adaptive fit. Consider trying them on with your typical football socks to ensure optimal comfort and sizing.
Care
Proper care extends the lifespan and maintains the performance of your boots:
- Cleaning: After each use, especially on muddy pitches, clean the boots. Wipe off dirt and mud from the upper with a damp cloth. Use a brush to remove debris from the studs and outsole.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can cause materials to stiffen, crack, or shrink.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place. Using a shoe tree or stuffing them with newspaper can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry the boots, as this can severely damage the materials and construction.
