Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Breaking In: While designed for comfort, a short break-in period may be beneficial. Wear them during light training sessions or for short periods before a full match to allow the materials to conform to your foot.
- Lacing: Ensure laces are securely tied to utilize the `Dynamic Fit` collar and `Flyknit` upper's supportive properties fully.
Compatibility
These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) surfaces. This means they are ideal for use on natural grass pitches that are firm and dry. Using them on artificial turf (AG), soft ground (SG), or extremely hard surfaces may reduce performance and accelerate wear.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your boots:
- Cleaning After Use: After each use, remove loose dirt and mud. A soft brush or damp cloth is effective for this.
- Washing: For deeper cleaning, refer to the product label for specific washing instructions. Generally, avoid machine washing as it can damage materials and adhesives. Hand wash with mild soap and cold water.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators), as this can cause materials to stiffen, crack, or shrink.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using boot trees or stuffing them with newspaper to maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
