Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight after initial wear.
Continue wearing them for short periods during training. The synthetic upper is designed to adapt to your foot shape over time. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period if needed.
Traction seems reduced on the pitch.
Ensure the studs are clean and free from mud or debris. Check for any signs of wear on the studs, which may indicate the boots are nearing the end of their usable life on FG pitches.
Materials feel stiff.
This is common with new, high-performance synthetic materials. Continued use and natural foot warmth will help soften the materials, improving flexibility and comfort.
Inconsistent ball touch.
Verify the boots are clean, especially the striking surfaces. Ensure you are making clean contact with the ball, as the boot's design prioritizes control but still requires proper technique.
