Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Lacing: Ensure boots are laced securely but not overly tight, allowing for natural foot movement without slippage. Experiment with lacing patterns for personalized comfort.
- Stud Check: Before each match or training session, check that all metal studs are securely tightened. Loose studs can compromise traction and pose a safety risk. Replacement studs can be purchased separately if needed.
Compatibility:
These boots are specifically designed for Soft Ground (SG) pitches. They are not recommended for use on firm ground (FG), artificial grass (AG), or indoor surfaces, as this can damage the boots, the playing surface, and increase the risk of injury.
Care:
- Cleaning After Use: Immediately after play, remove excess mud and debris using a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Rinse (if needed): If very muddy, rinse with lukewarm water, but do not submerge completely.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight) as this can damage the synthetic materials and adhesive. Stuff with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using a boot bag to protect them during transport.
