FAQs

What is the main advantage of the HybridTouch upper?

The HybridTouch upper is designed to provide an exceptional feel for the ball, offering superior comfort and control during play, similar to that of natural leather but with added durability.

Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?

No, these boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) conditions and are not recommended for artificial grass (AG) or firm ground (FG) surfaces. Using them on incorrect surfaces can lead to poor performance and potential damage.

How do I care for the screw-in studs?

After use, clean the studs and threads with a brush and dry them. Store spare studs in a clean, dry place. Regularly check for wear and replace any damaged or excessively worn studs.

What is the purpose of the Strikeskin fins?

The Strikeskin fins are strategically placed rubber elements on the upper that increase grip on the ball, enabling greater precision when striking or passing.

How long should the break-in period last?

The break-in period can vary per individual, but typically lasts for a few training sessions. Wear them for shorter periods initially and gradually increase the duration to allow the materials to conform to your foot shape.

Can I replace the screw-in studs with different types?

Yes, you can replace the screw-in studs with other compatible SG studs of varying lengths to suit different ground conditions. Always ensure they are securely fastened.

What makes the ControlFrame 2.0 outsole ideal for soft ground?

The ControlFrame 2.0 outsole features a specific stud configuration and chassis design that provides optimal stability and traction on wet and muddy pitches, preventing slippage.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have completed the break-in period. Wear them with the same type of socks you use for matches. If discomfort persists, consider if the sizing is correct or if alternative lacing techniques might help.

Lack of traction on soft ground

Check that the screw-in studs are fully tightened and appropriate for the ground conditions. Ensure studs are clean and free from mud build-up. Consider replacing worn-out studs.

Studs are difficult to screw in or remove

Ensure the stud threading and the boot's receiving threads are clean and free of debris. Use the official stud key for leverage. Apply a small amount of lubricant if necessary, but avoid overuse.

PRIMEKNIT collar feels restrictive

Gently stretch the collar before wearing. Ensure you are pulling the boot on correctly without forcing it. The collar should provide a snug fit, not a painful constriction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Stud Replacement: If your boots come with screw-in studs, ensure they are securely fastened before first use. Use the provided tool to tighten them. Consider the ground conditions when selecting stud length.
  2. Break-in Period: Wear the boots around the house or during light training sessions to allow the materials to mold to your feet. This minimizes discomfort during matches.

Compatibility:

  • These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) football pitches. This typically means natural grass pitches that are wet, muddy, or exceptionally soft.
  • They are not recommended for firm ground, hard artificial turf, or indoor surfaces, as this can lead to discomfort, reduced performance, and potential damage to the studs and outsole.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, remove excess mud and dirt using a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the boots in water.
  2. Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Stud Maintenance: Clean and dry the studs after use. Store spare studs in a dry place. Check for wear and tear and replace as needed.
