Setup
These boots feature a traditional lace-up closure. To ensure an optimal fit:
- Loosen Laces: Before putting the boots on, fully loosen the laces to allow for easy foot entry.
- Slide Foot In: Gently slide your foot into the boot, ensuring your heel is seated comfortably against the anatomical heel counter.
- Adjust Laces: Start tightening the laces from the bottom (toes) upwards. Pull them snugly but not uncomfortably tight. The flat knit yarn closure allows for an adaptable fit.
- Knot Securely: Tie a secure knot or double knot to prevent laces from coming undone during play.
Compatibility
These Skechers Razor Elite FG boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) surfaces. This typically refers to natural grass pitches that are firm and dry. Using them on other surfaces such as artificial grass (AG), soft ground (SG), or indoor courts is not recommended, as it can lead to premature wear of the studs, reduced performance, and potential injury.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your boots:
- Clean After Each Use: After every game or training session, wipe off any mud and debris with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a soft brush and a small amount of mild soap solution.
- Remove Insole: If possible, remove the HYPER BURST PRO sockliner and air it out separately to prevent odor buildup.
- Air Dry: Always air dry your boots at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can damage the materials. Do not tumble dry.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use strong detergents, bleach, or solvents, as these can degrade the synthetic leather and FitKnit materials.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape. Avoid storing them in damp bags for extended periods.
