Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
The Hypoknit upper may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and adjust lacing to find a comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size.
Lack of traction on the pitch
Confirm you are using the boots on the intended Firm Ground (FG) surface. If playing on slightly damp grass, ensure the studs are clean. These boots are not designed for artificial turf or very wet conditions.
Studs feel loose or damaged
Inspect the studs for any visible damage. If they appear to be coming loose or are broken, discontinue use immediately as this can affect performance and potentially cause injury. Contact customer support for assistance.
Material appears discolored after use
This can sometimes occur on certain types of pitches. Ensure you are cleaning the boots after each use as per the care instructions. This is typically a cosmetic issue and does not affect performance.
