Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots feature a regular fit and a lace closure system. For a secure and comfortable fit, ensure the laces are tightened evenly. The floating tongue can be adjusted for a personalized feel and to create a clean striking surface; the foldover tongue with strap helps secure it in place.
Compatibility: The Strikeframe soleplate is designed specifically for soft ground (SG) pitches. This means they are best suited for natural grass surfaces that are wet or have been recently treated, providing optimal traction in such conditions. They are not recommended for firm ground, artificial turf, or indoor surfaces.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove excess mud with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the upper and soleplate. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, hairdryers) as this can damage the materials.
- Studs: Ensure the SG studs are clean and free from debris. Check for wear and tear; SG studs may need replacement more frequently than firm ground studs depending on usage and pitch conditions.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag to protect them from damage and dust.
