Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
There is no specific 'setup' required for these football boots. Simply ensure you choose the correct size for a snug and comfortable fit. The laceless design means no laces to tie, providing immediate wearability.
Compatibility
These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches. This includes natural grass fields that are relatively dry and firm. They are not recommended for use on artificial grass (AG), soft ground (SG), or indoor (IC) surfaces, as this can affect performance, grip, and potentially damage the boots.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your boots:
- After Each Use: Remove excess mud and dirt using a soft brush or damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Cleaning: For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth, then wipe clean. For the leather upper, use specialized leather cleaner if necessary.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not dry them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can cause the leather to crack or harden.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove the OrthoLite® sockliner and air out the boots. Shoe deodorizers can also be used.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash or tumble dry your football boots.
