FAQs
What does FG MG mean on these boots?
FG/MG stands for Firm Ground / Multi-Ground. This indicates the soleplate is designed to provide reliable traction on both natural grass pitches and modern artificial grass surfaces.
How do I know if these boots are the right size?
It's recommended to try them on with your usual football socks. Ensure there is a little space at the toe, but your heel should feel secure and not slip. The lace closure allows for a customizable fit.
Can I use these boots on an indoor court?
No, these boots are not suitable for indoor courts. The FG/MG soleplate is designed for outdoor grass and artificial grass. Using them indoors can damage the studs and reduce their lifespan, and may offer poor traction.
How long will these boots typically last?
The lifespan of football boots depends on usage frequency, playing surface, and care. With proper care and regular use on appropriate surfaces, they should provide reliable performance for a full season or more for most adult players.
Are these boots suitable for players with wide feet?
The boots feature a 'regular fit'. While the lacing system allows for some adjustment, players with significantly wide feet might find them snug. Trying them on is the best way to determine suitability.
How do I clean the Strikescale elements on the upper?
You can gently clean the Strikescale elements with a soft brush or a damp cloth. Avoid scrubbing too hard, as this could potentially damage the texture or finish.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are snug but not overly tight. Adjust the lacing pattern if necessary. Consider wearing thinner or thicker socks depending on the desired fit. Some boots may require a short break-in period.
Traction is poor on the pitch
Ensure the studs/cleats are clean and free from mud or debris. Check if the boot is appropriate for the pitch type (FG/MG for grass/artificial grass). Worn-out studs may need replacement if the boots are heavily used.
Materials appear to be wearing quickly
Avoid using the boots on inappropriate surfaces (e.g., hard ground, concrete). Clean and dry the boots properly after each use to maintain material integrity. Store them in a suitable environment.
Laces are difficult to tie or keep tied
Ensure the laces are not frayed or damaged. Try a double knot for a more secure hold. If laces are consistently an issue, consider replacing them with a higher-quality pair.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the boots are laced correctly to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. The lace closure allows for customization to your foot's shape. It is recommended to wear appropriate football socks for the best experience.
Compatibility: These boots are specifically designed for use on Firm Ground (FG) and Multi-Ground (MG) surfaces. This typically includes natural grass pitches and modern artificial grass pitches. Avoid use on hard, abrasive surfaces like concrete or indoor courts, as this can damage the soleplate and reduce performance.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Air dry the boots naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials and shape.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a breathable boot bag, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
