FAQs
What type of surface are these boots designed for?
These boots are specifically designed for artificial turf (TF) surfaces. They are not recommended for use on grass, firm ground, or indoor courts.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Lace the boots snugly, ensuring the padded tongue lies flat. The fit should feel secure and 'glovelike' without being uncomfortably tight. The adaptable fit of the upper will mold to your foot with use.
Can these boots be used in wet conditions?
Yes, the FlyTouch synthetic upper is designed to provide a consistent touch on the ball in both wet and dry conditions.
How should I clean my football boots?
After play, gently brush off dirt with a soft brush or wipe with a damp cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What is the benefit of the debossed touch grooves?
The debossed touch grooves are designed to contour the foot, bringing you closer to the ball. This enhances your feel for the ball, allowing for greater creativity and control during dribbling and other footwork.
Are these boots suitable for all age groups?
These specific boots are sized for kids (UK size 1), designed with their needs and development in mind for playing on artificial turf.
What makes the outsole responsive?
The lightweight outsole features a combination of grippy chevrons for explosive takeoffs and diamond tread for agility. This design allows for quick transitions and reacting to your power shifts and sudden twists on the pitch.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Wear them around the house for short periods to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape. Adjust lacing to find a more comfortable tension, ensuring the padded tongue is positioned correctly.
Traction seems poor on the pitch.
Check that the turf is clean and free of debris. Ensure the sole studs are not excessively worn down. If the boots are consistently used on non-turf surfaces, this could be the cause of poor performance.
Upper material feels stiff.
The FlyTouch synthetic upper is designed to soften with use. Continue to wear the boots during practice sessions; they will become more pliable over time. Ensure they are properly dried after use, not in direct heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure the correct size is selected for optimal performance and comfort. The lacing system should be tightened to achieve a snug, glovelike fit.
Compatibility: The Academy TF designation means these boots are specifically designed for use on artificial turf (TF) surfaces. They are not suitable for firm ground (FG), soft ground (SG), or indoor courts (IC) as the outsole configuration will not provide adequate traction and could lead to premature wear or injury.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a breathable boot bag, to maintain their shape and prevent odor buildup.
