Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Before your first use, ensure the laces are threaded correctly and evenly. Adjust the lacing to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit that locks your foot in place without restricting circulation. Experiment with different lacing patterns if you experience pressure points.
- Initial Wear: Wear the boots for short periods during light training sessions to allow them to mold to your feet. This helps prevent discomfort during competitive play.
Compatibility
These boots are specifically designed for Artificial Grass (AG) pitches. The AG-Pro sole is optimized for synthetic turf surfaces and will provide the best performance and stud longevity in this environment. Using them on natural grass (FG), wet natural grass (SG), or indoor courts (IC) is not recommended as it can compromise traction, damage the soleplate, and void potential warranties.
Care
- Cleaning: After each use, especially on AG pitches where rubber pellets can accumulate, brush off loose dirt and rubber granulate from the outsole and upper. Use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the surface. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct sunlight or use artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers), as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place. Using a shoe bag can protect them from dust and scratches. Do not store them in cramped or humid conditions.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and air them out separately. You can use shoe deodorizers or natural remedies like baking soda sachets to keep them fresh.
