Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these boots suitable for natural grass?

These boots are engineered specifically for artificial turf and ground; they do not provide adequate traction on soft or wet natural grass.

How should I clean my boots?

Wipe them down with a damp cloth after each session and let them air dry in a well-ventilated area.

Do these boots run true to size?

They feature a slim, snug fit. If you prefer a bit of extra room, consider trying a half-size larger than your standard shoe.

Can these be used for cage football?

Yes, their durable construction and turf-specific soleplate make them ideal for cage and small-sided games.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from high-quality, lightweight synthetic materials designed to hug the foot for improved ball control.

Troubleshooting

Accumulation of turf pellets in the shoe

Ensure the ankle collar is snug and check periodically during breaks to remove debris.

Boots feel slippery on natural grass

These are designed for artificial turf; for soft ground, use boots specifically designated for natural grass surfaces.

Material scuffing after intensive play

Clean the surface regularly and use a specialized leather or synthetic cleaner recommended for football boots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your boots, always lace them firmly before play to maintain the intended slim fit. These boots are specifically compatible with artificial ground (AG) and turf surfaces.

Care instructions include:

  1. After each use, remove loose dirt and synthetic turf pellets by gently tapping the soles together.
  2. Wipe the upper with a damp cloth to maintain the material's integrity.
  3. Air dry the boots naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the material.
  4. Do not submerge in water or use harsh chemical cleaners.
