FAQs
What is the primary advantage of the fold-over tongue?
The fold-over tongue is designed to create a cleaner, smoother surface area for striking the ball, potentially improving accuracy and power transfer.
Can these boots be used on artificial grass?
These boots are specifically designed for firm ground (FG) pitches. Using them on artificial grass may lead to premature wear and reduced performance, and is not recommended.
How does the Primeknit material benefit the fit?
Primeknit provides a sock-like, adaptive fit that wraps the foot comfortably, offering support and a close feel to the ball.
What is the role of the Powerspine technology?
Powerspine is integrated into the midfoot to provide enhanced stability, allowing for more powerful and controlled striking actions.
How do I clean mud off the studs?
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to remove mud and debris from the studs after playing. Ensure studs are clean for optimal traction.
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
While the Primeknit offers some adaptability, the regular fit is generally best suited for standard to slightly narrow feet. Trying them on is recommended for best assessment.
What does 'Firm Ground' (FG) mean for the outsole?
Firm Ground outsoles have a specific stud configuration designed to provide optimal grip and stability on natural, dry, and firm grass pitches.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight on first wear.
The Primeknit upper is designed to stretch and conform to your foot. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Ensure laces are not overtightened.
Traction feels inconsistent on the pitch.
Confirm you are using the boots on the intended firm ground surface. Clean any mud or debris from the studs, as this can affect grip.
Stitching appears to be fraying.
Inspect the area carefully. Minor fraying may be normal wear; significant damage might indicate a manufacturing defect. Contact customer support if concerned.
Tongue feels awkward or slips.
Experiment with different lacing techniques to better secure the fold-over tongue. Ensure the tongue is positioned correctly before lacing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
Ensure the boots are the correct size and fit snugly. The Primeknit material will conform to your foot over time.
Lace up the boots using the provided closure system for a secure fit.
Compatibility:
These boots are designed for firm ground (FG) natural grass pitches. They may not provide optimal performance or durability on artificial turf, hard ground, or very wet/soft ground conditions.
Care:
Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush. Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe down the upper and outsole. 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 (radiators, hairdryers) as this can damage the materials.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag, to maintain their shape and material integrity.
