FAQs
What type of pitch are these boots designed for?
These are Soft Ground (SG) football boots, designed for use on wet or muddy natural grass pitches.
How do I ensure the best fit with the floating tongue?
The floating tongue can be adjusted using the strap. Experiment with different tensions to find a secure and comfortable fit that creates a clean striking area.
Will the rubber grip elements on the upper wear off?
The rubber grip elements are integrated into the upper for optimal striking precision. While they are durable, like all football boot components, they are subject to wear from consistent use on the pitch.
Can I use these boots on artificial turf?
No, these boots are not designed for artificial turf. Using them on such surfaces can lead to poor performance, reduced durability, and potential injury. Use appropriate footwear for artificial turf.
How do I clean the Nanostrike+ upper?
Gently wipe the upper with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or strong cleaning agents to preserve the integrity of the mesh and rubber grip elements.
What does 'Powerspine technology' do?
Powerspine technology provides crucial midfoot stability. It helps to reduce the deformation of the foot when striking the ball, leading to more efficient power transfer and stronger shots.
Are these boots suitable for players of all positions?
While designed to enhance goal-scoring, the combination of control, power, and agility makes them suitable for attacking players such as forwards and midfielders who frequently take shots.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
The boots may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly and the floating tongue is positioned for comfort.
Poor traction on the pitch
Ensure the pitch is suitable for soft ground boots. Clean the studs of any mud or debris. Check for excessive wear on the studs; if worn, they may need replacement.
Lacquer on soleplate wearing off
This is a cosmetic effect due to normal play and does not impact the performance or structural integrity of the boot.
Stitching appears to be fraying
Minor fraying on the exterior, especially around flex points, can be normal with use. Inspect for significant structural damage. If concerned, consult the retailer for warranty information.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Unbox your boots and ensure they are the correct size.
If the floating tongue feels loose, adjust the strap for a secure fit.

Compatibility:
These boots are specifically designed for Soft Ground (SG) football pitches. They are best used on pitches with natural grass that is wet or damp, often requiring metal studs for optimal grip.
Not recommended for firm ground, artificial turf, or indoor surfaces due to the stud configuration.
Care:
Cleaning: After each use, remove excess mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
Drying: Stuff the boots with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture and help them retain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, to protect them from dust and damage.
Studs: Regularly check metal studs for wear and tear. Clean them to ensure optimal performance and replace if necessary.
