Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & First Use
Upon receiving your boots, try them on with the type of socks you typically wear during play. Ensure a snug, comfortable fit without excessive pressure points. The Dynamic Fit collar might feel tight initially; gently stretch it if needed, or simply wear them around the house for short periods to break them in. A proper break-in period helps the boots mold to your feet for optimal comfort.
Compatibility
These are Multi-Ground (FG/MG) boots, designed to perform optimally on both firm natural grass (FG) and modern artificial grass (MG) surfaces. This versatility makes them a great choice if you play on varied pitches. Avoid using them on extremely soft, muddy natural grass (SG) or abrasive indoor courts, as this can damage the studs or soleplate and potentially void warranties.
Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and debris using a soft brush or damp cloth. For tougher mud, use mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive scrubbers, or machine washing, as these can damage the synthetic materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or intense sunlight, which can cause materials to crack, shrink, or delaminate. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb internal moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place. Using a breathable shoe bag can protect them from dust and scratches while allowing air circulation.
- Inspection: Regularly check the studs for excessive wear, cracks, or damage. Replace boots if studs are significantly worn down, as this can compromise traction, stability, and increase the risk of injury.
