The Razor range from Skechers includes football boots designed for firm ground (FG), featuring a slim fit and traction suited for quick movements. It is aimed at both adult players and youths looking for an alternative to the big name brands.
Check out the Razor 1.5 Elite FG model here, and compare it with other Skechers football boots in the catalogue.
The Razor range is the line of football boots created by Skechers for dry, firm surfaces, marked with the FG (firm ground) label. It features a snug upper and a moulded stud outsole, designed for traction on natural or dense synthetic grass. The model available here, the Razor 1.5 Elite FG, fits into this concept of a classic ground boot rather than an indoor design.
The Razor FG is suitable for adult players who play on firm ground, whether in clubs or casual play. Their slim fit also makes them a choice for those looking for precise ball feel rather than thick cushioning. They can be worn both in training and matches, on the surfaces for which they are designed.
Skechers offers its football boots in several ranges, which can be viewed separately on the site:
Choosing the right size mostly depends on how you usually fit into football boots, rather than a general rule that applies to all Skechers models. If you're torn between two sizes, it's better to refer to your usual size for a slim-fit football boot, as the Razor is not designed to be roomy. If in doubt, also compare with the measurements given on the product page for the Razor 1.5 Elite FG before confirming your order.
The prices of football boots fluctuate with the site's promotional events. The next significant date in the calendar is Black Friday, followed by the end-of-year holidays, then the winter sales, and finally the French Days in spring. You can follow these events on the dedicated pages: Black Friday football boots, football boot promotions, shoe sales, and clearance shoes. To spot the arrival of new models, the page new football boots is updated regularly, and quickly processed orders are shown on the page shipped in 24h.
FG boots like the Razor are designed for firm, dry surfaces, which includes some of the latest generation synthetic pitches as long as they are dense. On a very abrasive synthetic or a wet surface, an FG boot wears out faster and has less grip than a model designed for that type of pitch. If you're unsure about your usual pitch, check its nature before choosing the surface of the boot.
The FG label refers to moulded stud boots for firm ground, while SG refers to removable studs for soft ground, and TF to small multi-studs for synthetic or stabilized surfaces. The Razor presented here is an FG version, designed for dry, firm terrain rather than muddy or fine synthetic turf.
There isn't a universal rule that applies to all Skechers models, as the fit can vary from range to range. The most reliable method is to compare your usual size for slim-fit football boots with the sizing information provided on the product page of the Razor 1.5 Elite FG.
No, an FG boot like the Razor is not suitable for indoor play or futsal, as its studded sole is not designed for a hard, smooth floor. For that type of activity, you should look for a model specifically designed for indoor use, with a flat sole and a grippy rubber.
Some sizes in the Razor range are suitable for young players in addition to adult sizes, depending on the models available in the catalog. It's recommended to check directly on the product page for the sizes offered before ordering for a child or teenager.
