FAQs
What type of pitch are these boots designed for?
These are Firm Ground (FG) football boots, designed for use on natural grass pitches that are relatively dry and firm.
How do I clean my Furon Team football boots?
Wipe them clean with a damp cloth after use and allow them to air dry naturally. Avoid using harsh chemicals or heat.
Can I use these boots on artificial grass?
No, these FG boots are not recommended for artificial grass. Using them on artificial turf can lead to discomfort, reduced performance, and potential damage to the boots and the playing surface.
What does 'Furon Team' signify?
'Furon' is New Balance's speed-focused boot silo, and 'Team' indicates a model designed for aspiring players, often offering a balance of performance and value.
Are these boots suitable for adult players?
While endorsed by professional adult players, this specific model is part of the kids' range, as indicated by the size and design focus. However, the technology is applicable to players of all levels seeking speed.
How does the offset lacing help?
The offset lacing moves the laces away from the center of the boot, creating a larger, cleaner surface area on the instep. This is the 'strike zone,' allowing for more precise and powerful contact when kicking the ball.
What is the warranty on these boots?
Warranty information typically varies by retailer and region. It is best to check the specific terms and conditions provided by the point of purchase for details on warranty coverage.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Wear the boots with your usual football socks for a short period to allow them to break in and adapt to your foot shape. If discomfort persists, consider alternative lacing techniques or a different model.
Lack of traction on the pitch
Confirm you are playing on a firm ground surface as intended. Clean the studs of any mud or debris, as blockages can reduce grip. Check for any significant wear on the studs, which may indicate it's time for a new pair.
Upper material feels stiff
This is common with new engineered mesh. Continue wearing the boots during training sessions to allow them to soften and conform to your foot. Applying a leather conditioner (if applicable to the specific material finish) might help, but check manufacturer guidelines.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots come ready to wear. Ensure the correct size is selected for a proper fit. It is recommended to wear them for a short period indoors or during light training before a full match to allow them to mold to your feet.
Compatibility: The 'FG' designation indicates these boots are designed for Firm Ground natural grass pitches. They are not suitable for artificial grass, hard ground, or indoor surfaces, as the stud configuration can cause discomfort or damage the boot on unsuitable terrain.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or 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 hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, ideally in a breathable boot bag, away from direct sunlight.
- Stud Care: Periodically check the studs for any damage or excessive wear. Ensure they are clean to maintain optimal traction.
