Victoria, a Mum on the sidelines saw muddy pitches, and young players struggling with grip. Her son continuously had wet feet and soggy boots, she didn’t just shout from the stands… Instead she built a solution.

That moment was the start of BootSkins, the world’s first boot protection skin designed for field sports. From school games to elite level athletes, BootSkins is rewriting the rules of how players care for their footwear, and how they express themselves on the pitch.
Founded in the UK by Victoria Fletcher, BootSkins was born from a love of sport, and a frustration with poor quality boots, and clogged studs. Existing solutions like cleaning products treat the symptom, not the cause. BootSkins, however, is prevention in motion.. a skin that slips over your boots, protecting from wear, damage, and the performance issues that come from a clogged soleplate.
Each skin is designed to work with different stud patterns and comes in a variety of colours and prints, combining protection, personality and performance. Whether it’s a grassroots team in the Midlands, or a regional club making strides, BootSkins helps players stand out — and stay protected.
After a strong UK rollout and support from the youth sports community, the brand is now focused on expanding its range to accommodate even more boot types and stud variations .. solving a long-ignored issue in the sports equipment world.
And there’s more: something exciting is on the horizon. A major development is in the works that promises to take BootSkins to a whole new level.
Big things are coming… stay tuned!
BootSkins isn’t just a product, it’s a mindset shift. It gives players more value out of their boots, reduces unnecessary replacements, and brings personality to a part of the game often overlooked.
The future of boot care has arrived. Watch this space.
