FAQs

Can I use these on artificial grass?

These boots are specifically designed for soft ground. Using them on artificial surfaces may lead to excessive wear on the studs and lack of appropriate traction.

How do I clean the Dynamic Fit collar?

Use a damp cloth with mild soap to gently spot-clean the collar, ensuring you do not soak the material to avoid shape loss.

Are these boots waterproof?

The materials are water-resistant to aid performance in damp conditions, but they are not fully waterproof, so avoid prolonged submersion.

What is the best way to dry them after a rainy game?

Remove the insoles and stuff the boots with newspaper to absorb moisture, letting them dry in a well-ventilated room.

Will the textured upper wear off?

The texture is an integrated design feature meant to last the lifetime of the boot, though normal play will naturally cause gradual wear.

Troubleshooting

Studs clogging with thick mud

Use a specialized boot scraper or blunt tool to clear the channels between studs after each match to maintain traction.

Upper material losing texture grip

Gently wipe the upper with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth to remove residual dirt or grease that may be affecting ball control.

Boots feel stiff after storage

Ensure they are stored in a cool, dry place and try wearing them for a short warm-up period to allow the materials to regain flexibility.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent traction on soft ground surfaces
  • Secure, seamless ankle support with Dynamic Fit collar
  • Reliable ball grip in wet weather
  • Engineered for high-speed play

Cons

  • Not suitable for hard ground or artificial surfaces
  • Specialized soleplate limits versatility
  • Requires proper stud maintenance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure peak performance, verify your pitch conditions before use; these boots are intended for soft, natural ground. After each match, remove mud and grass debris from the studs and upper using a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the textured material. Allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials or cause the soleplate to become brittle.
