FAQs
What type of ground are these boots designed for?
These boots are specifically designed for soft ground conditions, such as wet grass or muddy pitches. The screw-in studs provide optimal traction on these surfaces.
How do I ensure the best fit?
It is recommended to try on the boots before purchasing if possible. Ensure the PRIMEKNIT collar feels secure but not constricting, and there is adequate room in the toe box.
Can I use these boots on artificial turf?
No, these boots are not recommended for artificial turf. The studs are designed for soft ground and using them on harder surfaces can cause damage to the studs and outsole, and may void the warranty.
How often should I replace the screw-in studs?
The frequency of stud replacement depends on the player's usage and the ground conditions. Regularly inspect studs for wear and tear, and replace them when they show signs of significant abrasion or loss of grip.
What is the main advantage of the HybridTouch upper?
The HybridTouch upper offers a soft, premium feel for enhanced ball control and comfort, allowing for precise touches and better manipulation of the ball.
Are these boots suitable for casual play or only professional matches?
While designed for high performance in matches, they are suitable for any adult player who trains or plays regularly on soft ground and values control, stability, and comfort.
What material is the outsole made of?
The outsole is made of synthetic material, featuring the ControlFrame 2.0 technology with screw-in studs specifically engineered for soft ground.
Troubleshooting
Studs feel loose or wobbly.
Use the provided stud wrench (or a compatible one) to tighten all studs securely. Check periodically and retighten as needed, especially after play on very soft ground.
Reduced traction on wet ground.
Ensure studs are clean and free from mud. Check for wear on the studs; replace any worn-down studs with new ones.
Discomfort or rubbing from PRIMEKNIT collar.
Ensure the boots are laced correctly to provide a snug but not overly tight fit. Wear appropriate football socks. The collar may require a short break-in period.
Ball control feels dampened.
Wipe the HybridTouch upper clean with a damp cloth to restore its texture and feel. Ensure the boots are fully dry before use.
