FAQs
What type of pitch are the Copa Gloro II FG boots designed for?
These boots are designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches, which are typically natural grass surfaces that are relatively dry and firm.
Can the foldover tongue be completely removed?
Yes, the padded foldover tongue is removable. It is secured by an elasticated strap and can be taken off for a different feel and fit.
How do I clean and maintain the leather upper?
After play, wipe off dirt with a damp cloth. Allow the boots to air dry naturally away from heat. Periodically use a leather conditioner to keep the material supple.
Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?
No, the FG stud configuration is not ideal for artificial grass. Using them on artificial surfaces can lead to accelerated wear and potential injury.
How much do the boots weigh?
The boots weigh approximately 280 grams, making them 28 grams lighter than their predecessor.
What is the main benefit of the quilted forefoot?
The quilted forefoot enhances the cushioned touch on the ball and aids in providing a softer feel during ball striking.
What does 'FG' stand for in the product name?
'FG' stands for Firm Ground, indicating the type of soleplate and stud configuration suitable for firm natural grass pitches.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly. Try removing the foldover tongue if it contributes to tightness. Consider if the size is appropriate or if the boots require a short break-in period.
Traction feels insufficient on the pitch
Confirm you are playing on a suitable firm ground surface. Clean any mud or debris from the studs. For different pitch conditions, consider using alternative boots designed for those surfaces.
Leather upper showing signs of wear or stiffness
Clean the boots after each use and apply a suitable leather conditioner periodically. Ensure they are dried properly and stored away from extreme temperatures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the boots are the correct size for a snug, comfortable fit.
- Lace the boots using the standard closure system, ensuring even tension across the foot.
- If desired, the padded foldover tongue can be removed by unfastening the elasticated strap and carefully pulling it away. Re-lace without the tongue if preferred.
Compatibility:
These boots feature Firm Ground (FG) studs, designed specifically for use on natural, dry grass pitches. They are not recommended for artificial grass, hard, or wet ground surfaces, as this can lead to premature wear or injury.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the boots in water.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape. Do not place near direct heat sources like radiators.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the leather and materials.
