Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure laces are fully loosened before putting on. Adjust lacing to distribute pressure evenly. Break in the boots gradually by wearing them for short periods initially.
Lack of traction on the pitch
Confirm you are using the correct boot type for the pitch surface (FG/AG). Clean any mud or debris from the studs. Ensure studs are not excessively worn.
Stiff midfoot tape impacting comfort
The support tape is designed for lockdown. Wear the boots with appropriate football socks and allow for a short break-in period. Adjust lacing to find a balance between support and comfort.
Difficulty putting on due to mid-cut collar
Loosen laces significantly, especially in the ankle area. Gently ease your foot into the boot, using the heel loop if available. Ensure socks are smooth and not bunched.
