FAQs
What does FG/AG mean?
FG/AG stands for Firm Ground/Artificial Grass. It means the outsole and stud configuration are designed to perform optimally and safely on both natural firm ground pitches and artificial grass surfaces, providing versatile traction.
Is the synthetic upper durable?
The super soft synthetic upper is designed for performance and a comfortable feel. With proper care and by using the boots on intended surfaces (FG/AG), they offer good durability for regular play.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Utilize the lace-up fastening to adjust the tightness to your foot. The low-cut slip-on construction provides an initial snug fit. Ensure your heel is locked in and your toes have a small amount of room without excessive space.
Can I use these boots on turf or indoor courts?
No, these boots are specifically designed for FG and AG pitches. Using them on turf (short artificial grass) or indoor court surfaces can damage the outsole and may not provide optimal grip or comfort.
What are the benefits of a lightweight TPU outsole?
A lightweight TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) outsole reduces the overall weight of the boot, contributing to a lighter feel and faster movements. It also offers good flexibility and durability for various playing conditions.
How does the 'low-cut slip-on construction' affect play?
This design provides a secure, sock-like fit around the foot for enhanced comfort and a more direct feel for the ball. It allows for natural ankle movement and reduces bulk, which can contribute to agility.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you've allowed for a break-in period. Re-lace your boots, focusing on loosening areas that feel restricted. Consider wearing thinner socks. If discomfort persists, check your sizing.
Lack of grip on the pitch
Verify that you are playing on either Firm Ground (FG) or Artificial Grass (AG) surfaces. Clean any mud or debris from the studs. If playing on worn AG, stud performance may naturally be reduced.
Foot slipping inside the boot
Ensure laces are tied securely and evenly across the foot. Wear appropriate football socks that offer good grip and minimize friction. Try different lacing techniques to achieve a tighter fit.
Boots are hard to clean
Clean boots immediately after use before mud and dirt dry and harden. Use a soft brush or old toothbrush for crevices and a damp cloth with mild soap for the upper. Avoid soaking the entire boot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure the laces are tightened evenly across your foot for a snug, supportive fit without being too restrictive. A secure lacing system prevents your foot from sliding inside the boot.
- Break-in: Although the synthetic upper is soft, a short break-in period is often beneficial. Wear the boots for light training sessions or walks before competitive matches to allow them to fully mold to your feet.
Compatibility
These boots are specifically designed for use on:
- Firm Ground (FG): Natural grass pitches that are firm or slightly damp.
- Artificial Grass (AG): Synthetic pitches, including 3G and 4G surfaces. The stud configuration is optimized to prevent excessive stud pressure and maximize traction on these surfaces.
Do not use these boots on indoor courts, concrete, or extremely hard ground, as this can damage the outsole and compromise performance.
Care
Proper care extends the life and performance of your boots:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and lukewarm water. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive materials.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the synthetic materials and glue.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag, away from extreme temperatures. Consider stuffing them with newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, use boot deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside and let it sit overnight.
