FAQs
What does 'FG' stand for on the outsole?
FG stands for 'Firm Ground'. This indicates the boots are designed for use on natural grass pitches that are relatively firm and not overly wet or muddy.
How do I clean the HYPER BURST PRO™ cushioning?
The cushioning is integrated into the midsole. Clean the exterior of the boot, including the midsole area, with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking the boots or using strong cleaning agents directly on the cushioning material.
Can I use these boots on artificial grass?
No, the FG outsole is not recommended for artificial grass. Using them on artificial surfaces can damage the studs, reduce performance, and potentially void the warranty.
What is the primary benefit of the FitKnit® upper?
The Performance FitKnit® engineered upper provides a breathable, flexible, yet supportive fit that adapts to the shape of your foot, offering enhanced comfort and a secure lockdown.
How do the internal silicon elements contribute to performance?
The internal silicon elements help to grip your foot inside the boot, preventing slippage during quick movements and ensuring a stable, locked-in feel for better control and power transfer.
Are these boots suitable for players with wide feet?
The FitKnit® upper offers some flexibility, but the 'Performance Fit' is designed for a precise fit. Players with significantly wide feet may find them snug. It's advisable to try them on if possible or consult sizing charts carefully.
What is the inspiration behind the 'Sunset Elite Pack' design?
The design is inspired by California's iconic coastline, featuring colours that evoke sunset hues and electric blues, reflecting the fusion of athletic performance with a West Coast aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If new, wear them for short periods to allow the FitKnit® upper to conform to your foot. Check that laces are not overtied.
Lack of traction on the pitch
Confirm you are using the boots on firm ground (FG) pitches. Clean the studs of any caked-on mud or debris. Ensure the outsole is not excessively worn.
Discomfort in the heel or arch
The internal nylon chassis and HYPER BURST PRO™ cushioning may require a short break-in period. If persistent, consider if the boot's shape is suitable for your foot type. You may insert aftermarket insoles if needed, ensuring they do not compromise the fit.
Upper material seems stretched or loose
This may indicate the FitKnit® upper is not providing adequate lockdown. Ensure laces are properly tightened to secure the foot. If the issue persists after break-in, the fit might not be ideal for your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These football boots are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for a snug, performance fit. It is recommended to wear them for a short period indoors or during light training to break them in before a match.
Compatibility: The SKX_2 Elite FG is designed specifically for use on firm ground (FG) natural grass pitches. Using these boots on artificial turf, hard ground, or very wet/muddy soft ground may damage the soleplate and studs, and will compromise traction.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners. Allow boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, to maintain their shape and material integrity.
- Laces: Check laces regularly for wear and tear. Replace if necessary.
