Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
There is no complex setup for these football boots. Simply ensure you have chosen the correct size for a snug yet comfortable fit. Loosen the laces completely before putting them on to avoid stressing the material. Once your foot is in, tighten the laces evenly from bottom to top, securing them with a firm knot. The textile collar should feel secure around your ankle without being overly tight.
Compatibility
These boots feature a Multi-Ground (FG/MG) soleplate, making them highly versatile and compatible with:
- Firm Ground (FG): Natural grass pitches that are firm or slightly damp.
- Artificial Grass (AG/MG): Modern artificial turf surfaces.
Do not use these boots on very soft, muddy pitches (which require SG or Soft Ground studs) or very hard, abrasive surfaces like concrete, as this can damage the studs and reduce grip.
Care
Proper care will extend the lifespan of your boots and maintain their performance:
- Cleaning after each use: After every match or training session, gently brush off loose dirt and grass. Use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the upper and soleplate. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Rinse studs: If playing on muddy pitches, rinse the soleplate and studs under a tap to remove caked-on mud.
- Drying: Always air dry your boots at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdry, as this can damage the synthetic materials and adhesives. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
- Insole care: Remove insoles occasionally to air them out and prevent odors. If needed, hand wash insoles with mild soap and water.
