Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure correct sizing. Wear with appropriate football socks and consider a short break-in period. Adjust lacing for a customized fit.
Reduced traction on the pitch
Clean the studs thoroughly to remove any packed dirt or debris that might be obstructing the traction pattern.
Wear and tear on the FG studs
Confirm the boots are being used exclusively on firm ground surfaces. Using them on harder or abrasive surfaces will accelerate stud wear.
Ball slipping during control or striking
Ensure the Nike Gripknit striking surface is clean and dry. Excessive moisture or dirt can impact its grip effectiveness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Initial Use:
It is recommended to wear the boots for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your foot shape.
Ensure laces are tied securely but not overly tight to maintain comfort and proper fit.
Compatibility:
These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches. Use on other surfaces like artificial grass, hard ground, or soft/muddy ground may lead to premature wear and reduced performance.
Care:
Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt and mud with a soft brush or a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, to maintain their shape and protect them from dust and moisture.
