FAQs
What surfaces are these boots best suited for?
These boots are best suited for Firm Ground (FG) and Multi-Ground (MG) surfaces, such as natural grass pitches and artificial turf.
How does the POWERSPINE technology work?
POWERSPINE technology is integrated into the outsole to provide enhanced stability and power transfer when kicking the ball, helping to increase shot velocity.
Can I wear these boots for indoor football?
No, these boots are designed for outdoor play on firm or multi-ground surfaces. They are not suitable for indoor courts as they lack the appropriate sole for that environment.
How should I clean my boots after playing?
After playing, clean the boots with a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Is the fold-over tongue a permanent feature?
Yes, the fold-over tongue is a design feature. However, players can adjust how they lace their boots or tuck the tongue if they prefer a different feel.
What is the main benefit of the synthetic upper?
The synthetic upper provides a lightweight feel and durability, contributing to the boot's overall agility and lifespan.
How do I ensure a proper fit?
Lace the boots securely but comfortably, ensuring they are not too tight. Wear them around the house initially to check for any pressure points or discomfort.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, focusing on even pressure distribution. Consider wearing thinner socks or allow more time for the boots to break in.
Traction issues on wet ground
These boots are designed for FG/MG. For very wet conditions, consider boots with specific Soft Ground (SG) studs. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud which can impede grip.
Stitching appears to be coming undone
Inspect the stitching for any loose threads. Gently trim any loose threads with scissors. If the stitching is significantly damaged, contact customer support.
Fold-over tongue feels awkward
Experiment with different lacing patterns or tucking the tongue under the laces. Some players find it takes time to adjust to this feature.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Lacing: Insert the laces through the eyelets, ensuring even tension across the foot. Tie the laces securely, but avoid over-tightening, which can restrict blood flow and comfort.
- Tongue Adjustment: If the fold-over tongue feels awkward, adjust its position or tuck it under the laces for a more traditional feel.
- Initial Wear: Wear the boots around the house for a short period to break them in and identify any potential discomfort points.
Compatibility:
- Surfaces: Primarily designed for Firm Ground (FG) and Multi-Ground (MG) pitches. Ensure the surface matches the boot's intended use for optimal performance and to prevent premature wear.
- Socks: Compatible with standard football socks. Thicker socks may affect the snugness of the fit.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess mud and dirt with a soft brush or a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, away from direct sunlight.
- Insoles: If removable, take out the insoles to dry separately to prevent odor buildup and ensure thorough drying.
