FAQs

What type of pitch are these boots designed for?

These boots are specifically designed for firm ground (FG) natural grass pitches.

How do I clean the improved yarn upper?

Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently clean the upper. Avoid abrasive materials or strong cleaning agents.

Will these boots stretch over time?

The materials are designed to mold to your foot shape for a personalized fit, offering some adaptation over time. However, significant stretching is not expected if the correct size is chosen initially.

What is the benefit of the Dynamic Fit Collar?

The Dynamic Fit Collar provides a sock-like fit around the ankle, offering support and comfort while ensuring a secure connection between your foot and the boot.

Can I use these boots on artificial grass?

It is not recommended. The FG soleplate is designed for natural grass and may not provide adequate traction or could be damaged on artificial surfaces.

How does the Hyperquick sole contribute to performance?

The Hyperquick sole is engineered for quick movements, providing a responsive base for acceleration and agility on the pitch.

What is the main advantage of the Phantom GX series?

The Phantom GX series focuses on providing exceptional ball control, a precise feel for the ball, and a comfortable, adaptive fit for players who demand high performance.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable

Wear the boots for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet. Consider using thinner socks if the fit is slightly snug. Ensure you have selected the correct size for your foot.

Reduced grip on the ball

Clean the upper of the boot with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or sweat that may be reducing its natural grip. Ensure the texture of the yarn is not obstructed.

Lack of stability during play

Ensure the Dynamic Fit Collar is snug around your ankle. The stabilizing bridge in the sole is designed to provide support; ensure the boots are laced correctly to maximize this feature.

Studs feel worn or ineffective

Inspect the conical studs for excessive wear. If studs are significantly worn, it may be time to consider replacing the boots as their grip on firm ground will be compromised.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These football boots are designed for immediate use on firm natural grass (FG) pitches. Ensure you have the correct size for a snug, comfortable fit. To maintain performance and longevity:

  1. Post-Match Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag to protect them from dust and damage.
  4. Stud Care: Periodically check the studs for wear and tear. Ensure they are clean and free from debris to maintain optimal traction.
