FAQs
What type of surface are these boots designed for?
These are Firm Ground (FG) boots, best suited for natural grass pitches that are firm or slightly damp.
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
The boot offers a standard fit. While the knit collar can adapt to some foot shapes, players with significantly wide feet may find them snug. Consider trying them on if possible.
How do I clean the microfiber upper?
Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid soaking the boots.
Can I use these boots on artificial grass?
It is not recommended to use FG boots on artificial grass, as it can damage the studs and soleplate, and may affect performance and safety.
What is the benefit of the embossed padding?
The embossed padding on the upper enhances grip on the ball, leading to improved control, touch, and accuracy when dribbling, passing, or shooting.
How durable is the knit collar?
The knit collar is designed for comfort and support. With proper care and avoiding excessive force when putting on or taking off the boots, it should maintain its integrity and function.
What is the primary material of the boot?
The upper is primarily constructed from a premium microfiber material with embossed padding and a supportive knit collar.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Allow for a break-in period of a few training sessions. Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly to provide a snug but not constricting fit.
Traction feels insufficient on wet grass
The FG studs are best suited for firm or slightly damp ground. For very wet or muddy conditions, consider a Soft Ground (SG) alternative if available.
Knit collar losing shape
Gently clean the collar area and ensure the boots are stored properly to maintain their form. Avoid aggressive pulling or stretching of the knit material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These boots are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a snug, performance-oriented fit. The knit collar is designed to hug the ankle; pull it on gently.
Compatibility: The FG (Firm Ground) soleplate is optimized for use on natural grass pitches. It is not recommended for artificial turf, hard ground, or multi-use games areas, as this can lead to premature wear or damage to the studs and soleplate.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials and shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, to protect them from dust and moisture.
