FAQs
What type of pitch are these boots best for?
These boots are designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches, which typically means natural grass that is dry and well-maintained.
How do I clean the boots after playing?
Wipe off dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat and store them in a cool, dry place.
Is the fold-over tongue removable?
No, the fold-over tongue is a fixed design feature of the boot, intended to provide a clean striking surface.
Will these boots work on artificial grass?
These FG boots are not recommended for artificial grass. Using them on artificial surfaces can lead to premature wear of the studs and reduced performance.
How long does the break-in period typically last?
The break-in period can vary. For synthetic materials, it may take a few sessions of wear before they feel fully comfortable and molded to your foot.
Are these boots suitable for adults?
While designed for younger players ('kids' age group), the sizing might overlap with smaller adult feet. However, the specific fit and features are optimized for youth development.
What is the main benefit of the textured upper?
The texture on the upper provides enhanced grip on the ball, improving control during dribbling, passing, and close-quarters play.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable.
The synthetic upper may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase duration. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly for a comfortable fit.
Traction is poor on the pitch.
Confirm you are using the boots on the intended Firm Ground (FG) surface. Ensure the studs are clean and free from mud or debris. FG boots are optimized for dry natural grass.
Stitching appears to be coming loose.
Inspect the stitching carefully. For minor issues, a professional shoe repair might be an option. Contact customer support if the issue is significant or occurs shortly after purchase.
Tongue slips during play.
Ensure the tongue is positioned correctly before lacing up. Tighten the laces sufficiently to help hold the tongue in place. Some players may prefer to use a lace-lock technique.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Lacing: Ensure the boots are laced securely but comfortably, using the provided eyelets. Adjust tightness according to personal preference for a snug fit.
Tongue Adjustment: Position the fold-over tongue flat for optimal striking surface, or adjust as preferred for comfort.
Compatibility:
These boots are designed for Firm Ground (FG). They are best suited for natural grass pitches that are dry and slightly short.
Avoid using on hard, artificial turf, or wet, muddy surfaces as this can affect performance and potentially damage the studs.
Care:
Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Allow boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, to maintain their shape and material integrity.
Maintenance: Periodically check the studs for wear and tear. Ensure laces are not frayed.
