FAQs
Are these boots suitable for all playing surfaces?
These boots are primarily designed for firm ground (FG) surfaces. While they may offer some traction on slightly harder artificial grass, they are not optimized for extensive use on 3G or indoor courts.
How do I clean the synthetic upper?
Wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or soaking the boots in water.
What is the benefit of the fold-over tongue?
The fold-over tongue is designed to create a smoother, uninterrupted surface for striking the ball, potentially improving accuracy and power during shots and passes.
How long does it take to break in these boots?
Break-in time can vary, but typically 2-3 light sessions or a couple of matches should suffice for the synthetic upper to adapt to your foot shape.
Does the POWERSPINE technology affect comfort?
The POWERSPINE technology is integrated into the soleplate for performance enhancement. It should not negatively impact comfort when fitted correctly, but a proper break-in period is still recommended.
Can these boots be used by both male and female players?
Yes, these boots are designed with a unisex fit, suitable for adult players of any gender.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Wear the boots for short periods during light activities to allow the synthetic materials to mold to your feet. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly, not overly tight.
Traction feels poor on the pitch.
Confirm you are using the boots on the intended firm ground surface. Clean the studs thoroughly, as accumulated dirt can impede grip.
Tongue flap is difficult to manage.
Ensure the fold-over tongue is positioned correctly during lacing. Some players may find it easier to tuck it under the laces for a more streamlined feel.
Materials show signs of premature wear.
Avoid using the boots on surfaces other than firm ground. Ensure proper cleaning and drying procedures are followed to preserve material integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure they are laced snugly for a secure fit. It is recommended to wear them for a short period indoors or during light training sessions to break them in before a full match.
Compatibility: The synthetic outsole is optimized for firm ground (FG) pitches. Use on artificial grass or very hard, natural surfaces may reduce performance and increase wear.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth. For tougher dirt, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to 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 boot bag, to maintain their shape and material integrity.
