Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Wear the boots with football socks for an extended period indoors. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly, providing a snug fit without restricting circulation. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is appropriate.
Traction feels inconsistent on certain surfaces
Verify the pitch type. These boots are optimized for Firm Ground (FG) or Multi-Ground (MG) surfaces. Using them on surfaces they are not designed for (e.g., very soft ground or specific artificial turf) may lead to reduced performance or slippage.
Synthetic upper feels stiff
The synthetic upper is designed for durability and consistent touch. Initial stiffness is normal and should decrease with wear as the material adapts to your foot.
Difficulty putting boots on
Ensure the perforated tongue is pulled forward and the lacing is slightly loosened before entry. The adaptive fit is snug; ease your foot in gently.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Initial Fit: Wear the boots around the house to allow them to adapt to your foot shape. Ensure the lacing is snug but not overly tight.
Field Preparation: Check the pitch conditions. These boots are designed for MultiGround (MG) surfaces, suitable for natural grass and older types of artificial grass.
Compatibility:
Surfaces: Best suited for Firm Ground (FG) and Multi-Ground (MG) pitches. Avoid use on very wet, muddy soft ground (SG) or advanced artificial turf pitches that may require specialized stud patterns.
Care:
Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, to maintain their shape and condition. Ensure they are completely dry before storing.
