FAQs
Are these boots suitable for natural grass?
No, these boots are specifically designed for artificial grass (AG) and may not perform optimally or safely on natural grass surfaces.
How do I clean the fold-over tongue?
The fold-over tongue can be cleaned with a damp cloth, similar to the rest of the upper. Ensure it is dry before storing.
What is POWERSPINE technology?
POWERSPINE is a technology integrated into the forefoot of the boot designed to provide more power and stability when striking the ball.
How long should these boots last?
The lifespan of football boots depends on frequency of use, playing surface, and care. Proper maintenance and avoiding use on inappropriate surfaces will maximize their longevity.
Can I wash these boots in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these boots, as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and structural integrity. Hand cleaning is the preferred method.
What is the primary benefit of the fold-over tongue?
The fold-over tongue is designed to provide a cleaner surface for ball contact, potentially improving accuracy and power when striking the ball.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie, ensuring an even distribution of pressure. If still tight, consider the next available larger size. Allow for a short break-in period as the synthetic materials may adapt.
Traction feels poor on artificial grass
Check the artificial grass outsole for embedded debris. Clean the studs thoroughly. Ensure the pitch surface is suitable for AG boots; extreme wear or different turf types can affect grip.
Tongue slips during play
Ensure the laces are tied securely, utilizing any lace-looping techniques if available. Adjust the fold-over tongue's position before tightening laces to secure it optimally.
Discomfort or blisters
Wear appropriate football socks. Ensure the boots are the correct size and fit. A short break-in period is usually required for new boots to mold to the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Lace up the boots using the standard lacing system for a snug, personalized fit. Ensure the fold-over tongue is positioned comfortably for your playing style. The boots are designed to be worn straight out of the box with minimal break-in time.
Compatibility: These football boots are specifically designed for use on artificial grass (AG) surfaces. While they may offer some traction on well-maintained, short-bladed artificial turf, they are not recommended for use on natural grass, firm ground (FG), or soft ground (SG) pitches, as this can affect performance and durability.
Care: After use, clean the boots by removing excess dirt with a soft brush. Wipe down the synthetic and textile upper with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners. Allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Regularly inspect the outsole for any debris lodged between the studs. Store in a cool, dry place.
