FAQs
What does 'Laceless' mean for performance?
The laceless design creates a larger, uninterrupted surface area on the instep, allowing for a cleaner contact with the ball, which can lead to more precise shooting and passing.
How do I clean the HybridTouch upper?
Gently wipe the upper with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water. Allow the boots to air dry naturally.
Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?
No, these boots are designed for firm ground (FG) pitches. Using them on artificial grass may affect performance, cause discomfort, and potentially damage the boots or the playing surface.
What is the purpose of the Strikeskin grip elements?
The Strikeskin grip elements are strategically placed rubber fins that increase friction between the boot and the ball, providing enhanced control for swerve, precision, and dribbling.
Will the lacquer on the bottom wear off?
Yes, the lacquer finish on the bottom of the boot may wear off during play. This is a normal cosmetic outcome and does not affect the performance of the boot.
How should I store my football boots?
Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag, away from direct sunlight or heat sources to maintain their condition.
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
The boot features a regular fit with a Primeknit collar for adaptability. While the HybridTouch upper offers some flexibility, players with exceptionally wide feet may find them snug. Trying them on is recommended if possible.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
The laceless design and Primeknit collar are intended to provide a snug fit. Try wearing them for a few short sessions to allow them to break in. Ensure your socks are not excessively thick. If discomfort persists, the sizing might not be suitable.
Traction feels inconsistent on the pitch
Ensure you are playing on a firm ground (FG) surface as intended. Check the soleplate for any embedded debris or mud that could be affecting stud performance. Clean the studs thoroughly.
Lacquer finish on the soleplate is wearing off
This is a normal cosmetic effect of playing on firm ground and does not impact the boot's performance, traction, or durability. No action is required.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These boots feature a laceless closure system. Simply slide your foot in, ensuring the Primeknit collar provides a snug fit around your ankle. The fit should be snug but not uncomfortably tight.
Compatibility:
These boots are specifically designed for use on firm ground (FG) natural grass pitches. Their stud configuration is optimized for this surface and may not provide optimal traction or could lead to discomfort on artificial grass, hard ground, or soft ground.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the boots. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, to protect them from dust and moisture.
- Material Care: The HybridTouch upper can be wiped clean. Avoid prolonged exposure to excessive moisture. The lacquer finish on the soleplate may naturally wear off with use; this is cosmetic and does not affect the boot's performance.
