What is the main benefit of the ZeroGlide technology?
ZeroGlide technology is incorporated into the sockliner and lining to provide a locked-in feel, preventing your foot from slipping inside the boot during quick movements and changes of direction.
How does the ENERZY foam help?
The ENERZY foam in the heel provides cushioning to absorb impact and offers energy return, helping to propel you forward into action.
Can I replace the sockliner?

Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or stiff
New boots often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Ensure laces are not over-tightened.
Foot slipping inside the boot
Check that the laces are tied correctly to secure your foot. Ensure the ZeroGlide sockliner is properly seated. Consider if the size is appropriate for your foot width.
Traction issues on the pitch
Confirm you are using the boots on the intended firm, natural ground surface. Clean any mud or debris from the studs, as this can reduce grip.
Reduced responsiveness or 'spring'
Ensure the KaRVO RS insole board is correctly positioned. Over time, the materials may naturally wear; consider if the boots have seen extensive use.
