Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable during play.
Ensure you've selected the correct size. Leather boots will stretch slightly over time, but initial discomfort might indicate incorrect sizing. Try wearing them for short periods to break them in, or check lacing for overtightening.
Loss of traction on firm ground.
Inspect the conical studs for wear and tear. Excessive wear can reduce grip. Ensure the boots are clean and free of mud buildup on the soleplate, which can also impair traction.
Leather becoming stiff or cracking.
This is often due to improper drying or lack of conditioning. Always air dry boots away from heat. Regularly apply a specialized leather conditioner to keep the cow leather supple and prevent cracking.
The foldover tongue is a nuisance or gets in the way.
The foldover tongue is designed to be removable. Gently detach it if you prefer a traditional tongue style. Alternatively, ensure it's properly folded and secured under the laces for a clean strike.
