FAQs
Are these boots suitable for natural grass?
No, these boots are specifically designed for Artificial Grass (AG) pitches. The stud pattern is optimized for AG surfaces and may not provide adequate traction or could cause discomfort on natural grass.
How long does the break-in period typically last?
The break-in period can vary but usually lasts between 3-5 wears. It's recommended to wear them for training sessions first before a match.
Can I wash these boots in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these boots. Cleaning with a damp cloth and brush is the preferred method to maintain the integrity of the materials.
What does the POWERSPINE technology do?
POWERSPINE technology is integrated into the soleplate to help players generate more power and explosiveness in their shots.
How do I secure the fold-over tongue?
The fold-over tongue can be secured by lacing the boots through the designated loops or by tucking it neatly under the laces for a cleaner strike surface.
What is the main advantage of the artificial grass outsole?
The artificial grass outsole provides enhanced grip and stability on synthetic turf, allowing for quicker movements and better control.
What foot type are these boots best suited for?
These boots have a regular fit, making them suitable for a standard foot width. Players with very wide or narrow feet might need to consider specific fit adjustments or alternative models.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Wear the boots around the house for short periods to allow them to mold to your feet. Ensure laces are not overtightened. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, consider if this is the correct model for your foot shape.
Traction feels poor on the pitch
Verify that you are playing on an appropriate Artificial Grass (AG) surface. Check the outsole for any debris lodged between the studs. Ensure the studs are not excessively worn.
Tongue won't stay folded
Ensure the tongue is folded neatly and securely before lacing up. The laces should pass over the tongue to help hold it in place. Some players may prefer to tuck the fold-over tongue under the laces.
Materials feel stiff
This is normal for new boots. Consistent wear during training sessions will help soften the synthetic and textile upper materials.
