Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight
Allow for a break-in period of a few training sessions. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate or if thinner socks might help.
Traction is poor on wet grass
The FG studs are optimized for firm ground. On very wet or muddy pitches, performance may be reduced compared to SG (Soft Ground) boots. Ensure the studs are clean and free of debris.
Soleplate shows wear after use on artificial turf
The FG soleplate is not designed for artificial turf. Continued use on this surface will lead to premature wear and potential damage. Consider a specific AG (Artificial Grass) boot for such surfaces.
