FAQs

Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?

These are optimized for Firm Ground (FG) natural grass. Using them on aggressive artificial turf may cause accelerated stud wear.

What is the primary benefit of the Move Foam?

Move Foam is designed to provide extra cushioning and impact protection, reducing foot fatigue during intense matches.

How do I ensure I have the right fit?

The boot should feel snug but not restrictive, with minimal movement of the heel when you run.

Can I put these boots in the washing machine?

No. Machine washing can damage the structural integrity and the adhesive used in the TPU plate. Always hand clean.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is crafted from a soft, molded synthetic material engineered specifically for ball control.

Troubleshooting

Accumulation of mud on the outsole

Use a plastic scraper or a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud after each session to maintain traction.

Upper material losing suppleness

Ensure they are dried slowly at room temperature; extreme heat can cause the upper material to stiffen or crack.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High level of underfoot comfort via Move Foam
  • Excellent ball tactile feedback from the soft upper
  • Lightweight build promotes speed and agility
  • Stable base perfect for firm ground play

Cons

  • Not suitable for indoor or loose artificial surfaces
  • Limited to specific firm ground pitches
  • Requires proper care to maintain the soft upper material

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your boots, follow these guidelines:

  • Break-in Period: Wear the boots for shorter training sessions before using them in full-length matches to allow the upper to contour to your foot.
  • Surface Compatibility: These are Firm Ground (FG) boots. Avoid use on concrete, hardwood, or hard artificial turf, as this may prematurely wear down the TPU studs.
  • Cleaning: After play, remove loose dirt using a soft brush. Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
  • Drying: Always air dry your boots naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as high heat can damage the bonding agents and materials.
