FAQs
What does 'FG' mean in the product name?
'FG' stands for Firm Ground, indicating these boots are designed for optimal performance on natural grass pitches that are firm and dry.
Are these boots suitable for artificial grass fields?
No, wearing FG boots on artificial grass (AG) is not recommended. It can lead to premature wear of the studs, reduced grip, and potentially discomfort or injury.
How do I ensure the correct fit?
Your heel should feel secure, and your toes should have a small amount of space (about a thumb's width) from the front of the boot. The boot should feel snug but not uncomfortably tight across the width.
What is the benefit of the 'asymmetrical collar and heel'?
This design promotes a more natural and ergonomic fit around the ankle and heel, enhancing lockdown and comfort by adapting to the foot's shape during dynamic movements.
Can I machine wash these sneakers?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the boots. Always clean them by hand as described in the care section.
How long do football boots typically last?
The lifespan varies depending on frequency of use, playing surface, and care. With proper care and use on appropriate surfaces, a good pair of boots can last one to two seasons or longer.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing during initial wear
Ensure correct sizing. Wear thick, cushioned football socks. Gradually break in the boots during light training sessions before full matches.
Loss of traction on the pitch
Verify that the playing surface is firm natural ground, as these are FG boots. Clean the studs and soleplate regularly to remove dirt buildup that can reduce grip.
Boots feel too tight or loose over time
Re-adjust laces to find the optimal tension. Consider trying different lacing techniques. For persistent issues, re-evaluate sizing.
Unpleasant odor developing inside the boots
Always air out your boots immediately after use. Remove insoles to dry separately. Use anti-bacterial boot sprays or natural odor absorbers (e.g., baking soda in a sock).
