FAQs
Are these boots suitable for natural grass?
No, these boots are specifically designed for artificial grass and turf surfaces due to their rubber outsole and stud configuration. Using them on natural grass may lead to poor performance and potential damage.
How do I clean the Nanostrike mesh?
Gently wipe the mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid scrubbing vigorously, as this could damage the material's texture and effectiveness. Ensure it dries naturally.
What is the purpose of the Powerspine midfoot technology?
The Powerspine technology provides enhanced support and stability to the midfoot area, crucial for powerful movements, quick changes of direction, and explosive play on the pitch.
How long does the break-in period typically last?
The break-in period can vary from player to player, but typically lasts for a few training sessions or matches. Wear them for shorter durations initially and gradually increase the time to allow your feet to adapt.
Can the fold-over tongue be removed?
No, the fold-over tongue is an integrated design feature and cannot be removed. It is intended to be worn folded down or secured under the laces.
What is the main benefit of the rubber outsole?
The rubber outsole is designed to provide superior traction and grip on artificial turf and carpet-like surfaces, allowing for agility and stability during play.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Allow for a break-in period of a few training sessions. Ensure laces are not overtightened. Consider using thicker socks for a snugger fit or thinner socks if they feel too constricting.
Traction is poor on the pitch
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free of debris. Verify that the boots are being used on appropriate turf surfaces. If the pitch is wet, traction may be slightly reduced.
Stitching appears to be coming undone
Inspect the stitching carefully. Minor fraying can be managed, but significant unraveling may indicate a defect. Contact customer support if the boots are within their warranty period.
Inside lining feels abrasive
This is often part of the break-in process. Ensure socks are pulled up fully to cover the ankle area. If the issue persists after a break-in period, check for any loose threads inside the boot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the boots are the correct size. A proper fit is crucial for performance and comfort.
- Lace up the boots using the provided laces, adjusting the tightness to your preference. The fold-over tongue can be secured under the laces or worn folded down as designed.
Compatibility:
- These boots are specifically designed for artificial grass (AG) and turf surfaces. Their stud configuration provides optimal grip on these types of pitches.
- They are generally not recommended for use on hard natural grass, firm ground (FG), or indoor courts, as the stud pattern may not be suitable and could lead to reduced performance or potential injury.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt and mud with a soft brush or dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh detergents or solvents.
- 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. Stuffing the boots with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
