FAQs
Are these boots suitable for natural grass?
No, the Artificial Grass (AG) outsole is specifically designed for synthetic turf and is not recommended for natural grass pitches. Using them on natural grass may result in reduced traction and increased wear.
How do I know if my artificial grass pitch is compatible?
These boots are designed for most modern artificial grass surfaces. However, very old or unusually constructed AG pitches might interact differently. Their primary compatibility is with synthetic turf.
How does POWERSPINE technology benefit my game?
POWERSPINE technology is embedded in the forefoot to provide a more stable platform for shooting. It helps to transfer energy more efficiently, allowing for increased shot power and accuracy.
Can the fold-over tongue be removed?
The fold-over tongue is an integrated part of the boot's design and cannot be removed. It is intended to be worn either up or down, depending on player preference.
What is the main advantage of the synthetic upper?
The synthetic and textile upper provides a balance of durability and flexibility. It's designed to withstand the demands of artificial grass play while offering a comfortable fit.
How should I break in these football boots?
Wear them around the house with your football socks for short periods. Gradually increase the duration of wear during practice sessions. The synthetic materials will naturally adapt to the shape of your foot.
What makes the sockliner important?
The synthetic sockliner adds an extra layer of cushioning for comfort and helps to secure your foot within the boot, preventing excessive movement during dynamic play.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure laces are loosened before putting on. Wear with appropriate football socks. The synthetic upper will mold to your foot over time with regular use.
Traction feels insufficient on artificial grass
Check the AG outsole for packed-in turf or debris. Clean the studs thoroughly. Ensure you are on an appropriate artificial grass surface and not a worn-out or different type of turf.
Fold-over tongue slips or becomes annoying
Experiment with different ways of securing the tongue (e.g., tucking it under laces differently). Some players may prefer to use a small piece of athletic tape to keep it in place.
Premature wear on the outsole
Verify that the boots are exclusively used on artificial grass surfaces as intended. Using them on harder surfaces will accelerate wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots come ready to wear. Ensure they are laced to your preferred tightness using the provided closure system. The fold-over tongue can be positioned up or down based on your preference; some players prefer it down for a more traditional feel, while others fold it up for a cleaner striking surface. Always ensure the tongue is secured to avoid it moving during play.
Compatibility: The Artificial Grass (AG) outsole is specifically designed for synthetic turf pitches. Using these boots on firm ground (FG) or hard surfaces like concrete or indoors can lead to premature wear and potential injury due to the stud configuration.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use on artificial grass, brush off any loose dirt or debris. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the synthetic upper. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the boots in water.
- 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.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, to protect them from dust and moisture.
