FAQs
Are these boots suitable for all playing surfaces?
No, these are Soft Ground (SG) boots designed primarily for wet, muddy natural grass pitches. They are not recommended for artificial grass or hard, dry surfaces.
How do I clean the Nanostrike+ upper?
Gently wipe the upper with a damp cloth after removing loose dirt with a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or submerging the boots in water.
What is the purpose of the Powerspine technology?
The Powerspine technology provides stability in the midfoot, reducing deformation of the foot when striking the ball. This helps to optimize power transfer for stronger shots.
Will the floating tongue stay in place during intense play?
The floating tongue is designed with a strap and lace closure system to ensure it remains secure and creates a clean striking surface during dynamic movements.
How should I store my football boots?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally in a breathable boot bag. Ensure they are clean and dry before storage.
What does 'SG' stand for in SG football boots?
SG stands for 'Soft Ground', indicating that the boots are designed for pitches with natural grass that is wet or muddy, requiring specific stud configurations for traction.
Can the lacquer on the soleplate be repaired?
The wearing off of the lacquer finish is a normal occurrence during play and is purely cosmetic. It does not impact the performance of the boot and typically does not require repair.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight after lacing
Loosen the laces, particularly around the midfoot, and ensure the floating tongue is positioned correctly before re-lacing. Adjust to a less tight fit if necessary.
Reduced traction on soft ground
Ensure the fang studs are clean and free from mud or debris that could impede their grip. Check for excessive wear on the studs.
Discomfort around the ankle
The Primeknit collar provides a snug fit. Ensure laces are not overtightened. If discomfort persists, the boot may not be suitable for your foot shape.
Lacquer finish on soleplate wearing off
This is a cosmetic issue and does not affect the boot's performance or traction. Continue to use the boots as normal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Lacing: Ensure the laces are tied securely through the floating tongue's eyelets for a snug fit. The floating tongue allows for easy step-in and customisable tightness.
Fit Adjustment: The Primeknit collar offers a sock-like fit. Adjust lacing to achieve optimal comfort and support around the ankle.
Compatibility:
These are Soft Ground (SG) football boots. They are designed for use on natural, wet, or muddy pitches where maximum traction is required. Use on artificial grass or hard ground may lead to premature wear and reduced performance.
Care:
Cleaning: After each use, remove excess mud with a soft brush. Clean the upper with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the boots.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the materials.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a breathable boot bag, away from direct sunlight.
Soleplate Maintenance: While the lacquer finish may wear, this is cosmetic. Ensure studs are free of debris. Check for any damage after significant use.
