FAQs

Are these boots suitable for firm ground pitches?

No, these boots are specifically designed for Artificial Grass (AG) pitches. Their stud configuration and soleplate are optimized for AG surfaces and may not perform well or could be damaged on firm ground.

How do I clean the tacky skin finish?

Gently wipe the finish with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, which could damage the tacky texture.

What is the benefit of the Zoom Air cushioning?

The Zoom Air unit provides responsive cushioning and enhanced energy return. The wave design in the forefoot maximizes this effect, helping you feel quicker and more explosive during play.

How do I know if these boots are the right size?

The boots should fit snugly but comfortably, with no excessive pressure points. Aim for a fit where your toes can move slightly, but your heel is secure and does not lift during movement.

What makes the Flyknit upper special?

The Flyknit upper is engineered to be lightweight, breathable, and strong. It wraps the foot for a sock-like feel, offering comfort, support, and excellent ball awareness.

Can these boots be used by players of any position?

While designed for speed and agility, making them ideal for attacking players, their overall performance benefits can be advantageous for players in various positions who value responsiveness and quick movements.

What is the expected lifespan of these boots?

The lifespan depends on the frequency and intensity of use, as well as the playing surface. Proper care and maintenance, as outlined in the care instructions, will help maximize their durability.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable

Wear the boots with thin socks for a short period to allow them to mold to your feet. If discomfort persists, consider if the sizing is correct or if the specific fit is not suitable for your foot shape.

Reduced traction on artificial grass

Ensure the studs are clean and free from debris. Check for any visible wear or damage to the stud tips. The performance is optimized for specific types of artificial grass; performance may vary based on the pitch conditions.

Tearing or damage to the Flyknit upper

Avoid sharp objects and excessive abrasion. Clean gently with a damp cloth. If significant tearing occurs, it may indicate an issue with the material integrity or excessive force.

Soleplate detaching or splitting

This is a rare issue, often caused by manufacturing defects or extreme stress. Inspect the soleplate for any signs of damage. Contact customer support if the issue appears to be a defect.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These football boots are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably. It is recommended to wear them for a short period indoors or during a light training session to acclimate your feet to the design and materials.

Compatibility:

These boots are specifically designed for use on Artificial Grass (AG) pitches. While they may offer some traction on other surfaces, their performance and durability are optimized for AG. Avoid using them on firm ground (FG), soft ground (SG), or hard court surfaces, as this can damage the studs and affect performance.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt and mud with a soft brush or a dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the boots in water.
  2. Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a boot bag can help protect them.
  4. Insoles: If removable, take out the insoles during drying to ensure they dry properly and prevent odors.
