Setup: To ensure the best fit, loosen the laces completely before putting on the trainers. Once your foot is comfortably inside, tighten the laces evenly from the toes upwards, securing them with a firm knot. The knitted ankle will provide an initial snug feel, which the lacing then customizes for security. Compatibility: These trainers are specifically designed for astro turf (3G/4G pitches) and other artificial grass surfaces. While they may offer some grip on firmer natural grass, their performance will be optimal on synthetic pitches. They are not recommended for indoor courts or hard concrete surfaces, as the lugs may wear down quickly and provide inadequate traction. Care: - Cleaning: After use, especially on muddy or dusty pitches, wipe the synthetic leather upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. - Drying: Always air dry your trainers naturally. Do not place them directly on heaters or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the synthetic materials and adhesives. Remove insoles to help them dry faster if they become very wet. - Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees or stuffing them with newspaper can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
