Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
The laceless design means no lacing is required. Simply slide your foot into the boot. The adidas Primeknit collar is designed to expand for entry and then securely hug the ankle. It is recommended to wear thin football socks for easier entry and optimal feel. Ensure your heel is fully seated in the boot for the best fit.
Compatibility
These boots feature an FG/MG (Firm Ground/Multi Ground) outsole, making them suitable for play on:
- Natural Firm Ground (FG): Well-maintained, natural grass pitches that are dry or slightly damp.
- Artificial Grass (MG): Modern artificial turf surfaces (e.g., 3G or 4G pitches).
The refined stud shapes and heights are specifically engineered for optimal traction and pressure distribution on both these surfaces. Avoid using these boots on extremely hard ground, concrete, or indoor surfaces as this can damage the soleplate and studs.
Care
To ensure the longevity and performance of your boots:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials. You can stuff them with newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Consider using a boot bag to protect them during transport.
- Odour Control: If odours develop, use shoe deodorizers or baking soda sprinkled inside the boots overnight.
- Inspection: Regularly check the studs and soleplate for wear or damage. While the boots are durable, consistent use on abrasive surfaces can accelerate wear.
