Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Loosen the off-centre laces thoroughly before putting on the boots. The Dynamic Fit collar may feel snug initially.
- Fitting: Slide your foot into the boot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated. The collar should wrap securely around your ankle.
- Tightening: Begin tightening the laces from the bottom upwards, ensuring an even, snug fit across your foot. The off-centre design allows for a larger striking area, so adjust to your comfort. Double-knot for security during play.
Compatibility
These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches. This means natural grass fields that are typically dry and firm. Using them on artificial turf (AG), soft ground (SG), or very hard ground may reduce performance, increase wear, or potentially lead to injury due to inappropriate traction.
Care
Proper care extends the lifespan and performance of your boots:
- Cleaning after use: After each match or training session, wipe off any excess mud and dirt with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh brushes that could damage the NikeSkin or mesh.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can cause materials to crack or shrink. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your boots, as this can severely damage the materials and adhesives.
- Refer to Product Label: Always consult the specific care instructions on the product label for the most accurate guidance.
