Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Allow for a proper break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Ensure you have the correct size; consider using thinner socks if the fit is very snug.
Traction feels inconsistent on the pitch
Ensure the studs are clean and free from debris. Check that you are playing on an appropriate surface (firm natural grass). Worn-out studs may need replacement if the boot is very old.
Upper material appears stretched or deformed
Avoid excessive force when putting on or taking off the boots. Ensure they are stored correctly and not exposed to extreme heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots are designed for immediate use. Ensure you have the correct size for a snug fit. If new, allow for a short break-in period of 1-2 light training sessions to mold the boot to your foot.
Compatibility: The Firm Ground (FG) soleplate is specifically designed for use on *natural grass pitches*. It is not recommended for artificial turf or hard, dry surfaces as this can lead to premature wear and reduced performance.
Care:
