FAQs
What does 'AG' stand for on these boots?
'AG' stands for Artificial Grass. These boots are engineered with specific stud patterns and soleplate designs optimized for traction and comfort on synthetic turf pitches.
Can I use these boots on a regular grass pitch?
While technically possible, it is not recommended. The studs are designed for artificial surfaces and may wear down faster or perform poorly on natural grass. Their primary function is on artificial turf.
How do I break in the TechLeather upper?
The TechLeather is designed for immediate comfort. Wear them for short periods during training sessions, gradually increasing the duration. They will naturally mold to your foot shape with regular use.
Are these boots suitable for all adult foot sizes?
These boots are available in a range of adult UK sizes. Ensure you select the size that best fits your foot for optimal performance and comfort. Refer to sizing charts if unsure.
What is the main difference between these and firm ground (FG) boots?
Firm Ground (FG) boots have studs designed for natural grass, offering a mix of shorter, bladed, and conical studs for varied conditions. AG boots have more numerous and often shorter, more conical studs to provide consistent grip and reduce pressure on softer artificial surfaces.
How durable are the conical studs?
The conical studs are designed for durability on artificial grass. However, extensive use on abrasive artificial surfaces or playing on inappropriate ground types can accelerate wear.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie, ensuring they are not overtightened. The TechLeather will also break in with use, conforming to your foot shape.
Traction feels inconsistent on the pitch
Ensure the pitch surface is suitable (artificial grass). Clean any mud or debris from the studs, as blockages can affect grip.
Water ingress during wet conditions
While the TechLeather offers a consistent touch, prolonged heavy rain on poorly draining artificial pitches may still lead to some moisture. Ensure boots are dried thoroughly after use.
Stitching appears to be fraying
Minor fraying can occur with heavy use. If the stitching is significantly compromised, contact the retailer for warranty information.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Lightweight construction for enhanced agility.
- Consistent ball touch in various weather conditions.
- Comfortable fit with secure lacing and heel padding.
- Designed for optimal traction and stability on artificial grass.
- Classic aesthetic appealing to traditional football boot fans.
Cons
- Specifically designed for artificial grass pitches; performance may vary on natural grass.

- The traditional fit might not suit players preferring a very snug, sock-like feel.
- Durability on very hard or abrasive artificial surfaces might be a consideration over time.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These football boots are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for a comfortable fit. The traditional lace closure allows for adjustment to suit your foot shape.
Compatibility: The 'AG' designation means these boots are specifically designed for use on Artificial Grass pitches. They are not recommended for use on firm, natural grass, hard ground, or indoor surfaces as this can affect performance and potentially damage the studs.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place. Using a boot bag can help protect them and keep them clean when not in use.
