Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your new adidas Copa Pure III Elite SG boots are designed for a custom fit. Before your first use, take time to properly lace them up. The lace closure works in conjunction with the Primeknit tongue to create a tailored feel. Adjust the laces from bottom to top, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit that secures your foot without pinching. This extended lacing allows for personalized lockdown, adapting to your foot's unique shape.
Compatibility
These boots are specifically engineered as Soft Ground (SG) football boots. This means they are optimized for use on natural grass pitches that are wet, muddy, or otherwise soft. The stud configuration is designed to penetrate these surfaces for maximum grip and stability. Using them on firm ground (FG) or artificial grass (AG) pitches may reduce their effectiveness, cause discomfort, and potentially damage the boots or the playing surface.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your boots. For general cleaning:
- After each use, remove excess mud and dirt using a soft brush or cloth.
- Wipe the Fusionskin upper with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
- Important Note: The lacquer finish on the bottom of the soleplate may wear off during play. This is a normal occurrence and will not affect the performance or integrity of the product. It is a cosmetic change only.
> Info needed: Specific recommendations for leather conditioning or waterproofing treatments are not provided. Regular conditioning for leather football boots is generally recommended to maintain material suppleness.
