FAQs
Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?
No, these boots are designed for firm ground (FG) natural grass pitches. Using them on artificial grass can lead to poor performance and potential damage to the studs.
How do I clean these football boots?
Clean the boots with a damp cloth after play. For tougher dirt, use mild soap and water, then air dry them away from direct heat. Do not machine wash.
What is the benefit of the fold-over tongue?
The fold-over tongue creates a larger, smoother surface area for striking the ball, which can help improve accuracy and power when kicking.
How do the different upper materials contribute to performance?
The Primeknit upper provides a snug, sock-like fit, while the HybridTouch upper offers a soft feel and adaptive fit. The Nanostrike Pro mesh incorporates tactile elements for better ball control and striking precision.
What is the Strikeframe plate?
The Strikeframe plate is a lightweight, full-length outsole designed to provide reliable traction on firm ground, allowing for quick movements and stability during play.
Can adults wear these boots?
While designed for juniors, the sizing and technology are based on adult performance standards. However, they are specifically sized for children's feet.
How does PowerSpine technology help?
PowerSpine technology is integrated into the sole to support the foot and enhance the power transfer when striking the ball, making shots more impactful.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure laces are adjusted properly. Try wearing them for short periods to break them in. The Primeknit and HybridTouch uppers are designed to adapt over time.
Traction is poor on the pitch
Confirm you are using the boots on the intended firm ground surface. Ensure the studs are clean and free from debris. If playing on a different surface, consider alternate footwear.
Fold-over tongue is inconvenient
Experiment with tucking the tongue under the laces or securing it over the laces to find the most comfortable and effective position for striking.
Difficult to put on
Loosen the laces significantly before putting them on. The Primeknit construction may initially feel snug.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the laces are tied securely for a proper fit. The fold-over tongue can be tucked under the laces or worn over them, depending on player preference.
Compatibility: These boots are specifically designed for firm ground (FG) pitches, meaning natural grass that is dry and firm. They are not recommended for artificial grass, hard ground, or wet, muddy conditions, as this can affect performance and potentially damage the studs.
Care:
- Remove excess dirt with a dry brush after each use.
- Clean the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Stuff the boots with paper to absorb moisture and help them retain their shape. Air dry away from direct heat sources.
- Store in a cool, dry place.
