Skechers, studs designed for comfort

The SKX, a shoe built around comfort

The SKX is based on a shape specifically designed by Skechers to provide a precise fit without pressure points. Underfoot, the insole Hyper Burst Pro uses a very lightweight, responsive, and durable TPU cushioning, which retains its bounce throughout matches.

It’s the brand's versatile silhouette: whether you’re a winger, midfielder, or defender, you’ll find stable support and comfort that is noticeable right from the first steps. In the Elite version, the upper features textured areas that help control the ball.

Other brands of football boots to compare

For comparisons, New Balance shoes pit the speed of the Furon against the control of the Tekela, Under Armour offer the Magnetico and Shadow, and Joma provide their models in microfibre and for futsal. The page Other brands brings them all together.

The Razor, the Skechers made for speed

The Razor is the speed shoe from Skechers. Its laced mesh upper Performance FitKnit locks the foot in place for quick, precise footing, and a carbon-infused plate provides stability and energy return with every acceleration.

It maintains the Hyper Burst Pro cushioning from the range, which sets it apart from very minimalist speed shoes: the foot remains protected during repeated sprints. It targets attackers and wingers who rely on their pace while wanting to finish the match without pain underfoot.

Elite or Academy, FG, AG or SG: how to choose your Skechers

Skechers offers its two silhouettes in two levels. The Elite features the construction worn by professionals, while the Academy retains the shape and spirit of the model with simpler materials for training and club football.

For soles, the FG version is suitable for dry natural grass, the AG version of the SKX Academy for artificial turf, and the SKX Elite SG for wet pitches with its screw-in studs. Kids can choose the SKX Academy FG and a SKX with an MG sole that works for both grass and synthetic surfaces.

Frequently asked questions

Does a Skechers football shoe fit like a Skechers trainer?

Not exactly: a football shoe should fit more snugly than a casual trainer. Measure your foot in centimetres and leave about half a centimetre in front of your toes, rather than going for your regular trainer size.

Are Skechers football boots suitable for demanding players?

Yes, the brand has been equipping professional players since entering football. The Elite versions mirror their construction, while the Academy versions are aimed at training and club football.

Which Skechers should I choose for a child?

The SKX Academy with FG sole for grass, or the SKX with MG sole if the child also plays on synthetic. Its cushioning and comfortable shape are great for growing feet.

What is the purpose of a carbon-infused plate under a football shoe?

It stiffens the sole without adding weight, stabilising the foot and returning some energy with each push-off. The player mostly feels it during starts and changes of pace.

Does the Razor fit a wide foot?

Its laced mesh adjusts better than a stiff upper, but like any speed shoe it remains close to the foot. With a wide forefoot, try it on with your match socks and loosen the top eyelets.
