Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure the correct size has been selected. Use the lace closure and floating tongue adjustment to customize the fit. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet.
Traction is poor on the pitch
Confirm you are using the boots on a soft ground surface. Check that the studs are clean and free of mud or debris. Ensure the boots are properly laced for a secure fit.
Lacquer finish on soleplate is wearing off
This is a normal cosmetic occurrence due to the nature of play on soft ground and does not impact the performance or structural integrity of the boot. Continue using as normal.
Stitching appears to be coming undone
Minor wear is normal, but if significant stitching is loose, cease use and contact customer support for assessment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

Lace up the boots using the lace closure, adjusting for a secure fit. The floating tongue with strap can be adjusted to create a clean striking surface.
Compatibility:
These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) football pitches. They are best used on pitches with natural grass that is wet or muddy, where the stud configuration offers optimal traction.
They are not recommended for use on firm ground, artificial grass, or hard indoor surfaces, as this can lead to reduced performance and potential damage.
Care:
After each use, clean the boots by removing excess mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the boots.
Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
Inspect the studs regularly for wear and tear. Clean any debris from between the studs.
Be aware that the lacquer finish on the soleplate may naturally wear off during play; this is cosmetic and does not affect performance.
