FAQs
What type of playing surface are the New Balance Furon Elite FG boots designed for?
These boots are specifically designed for firm ground (FG) pitches, providing optimal traction and performance on natural grass surfaces that are dry to slightly wet.
What is Hypoknit and how does it benefit me?
Hypoknit is an engineered knit material used in the boot's upper. It features mapped full-gauge and half-gauge knit zones that offer different sensations on ball contact, enhancing dribbling accuracy, power, and finesse by providing a more natural and responsive feel.
Will the lacquer wearing off the soleplate affect the boot's performance?
No, the lacquer finish on the soleplate is cosmetic and is designed to wear off during play. This will not impact the performance, grip, or durability of your New Balance Furon Elite FG boots.
Which professional players endorse the Furon range?
The New Balance Furon range is endorsed by prominent professional athletes including Bukayo Saka, Sadio Mane, Michelle Cooper, and Eberechi Eze.
How do the T-shape studs improve agility?
The T-shape forefoot studs are strategically placed on the lightweight soleplate to improve agility and speed in all directions. They allow for quick ground penetration and release, facilitating explosive acceleration and sharp, multi-directional movements.
What is the purpose of the infiniGRIP lining?
The infiniGRIP lining in the performance sockliner is designed to enhance comfort and security. It helps prevent your foot from slipping inside the boot, even during high-speed movements, thereby maximizing energy transfer and control.
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
Info needed: While the Hypoknit upper offers some flexibility, specific information regarding the fit for wide feet is not provided. It's generally recommended to try them on or consult a size guide for best fit.
Troubleshooting
Lacquer finish on soleplate is wearing off.
This is a normal characteristic of the New Balance Furon Elite FG. The lacquer is cosmetic and its wear will not affect the performance, durability, or functionality of the boots.
Boots feel uncomfortable or too tight.
Ensure proper sizing. Football boots often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them during light practice sessions. Check your lacing technique; try loosening or tightening specific sections for a more custom fit. Consider wearing thinner socks initially.
Experiencing poor traction on the field.
Verify that you are playing on a firm ground surface, as these boots are designed specifically for FG. Ensure the studs are clean and free of mud or debris, which can reduce grip. If playing on an unsuitable surface, consider boots designed for that specific ground type.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your New Balance Furon Elite FG boots are designed for immediate use. Simply unbox and lace them up. Ensure you take time to break them in during practice sessions before a match to ensure optimal comfort and performance.
Compatibility
These boots are specifically engineered for firm ground (FG) pitches. Using them on artificial grass (AG), soft ground (SG), or indoor surfaces may compromise performance, reduce traction, and potentially damage the boots or increase injury risk.
Care
- Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and mud from the boots using a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Lacquer Finish: Please note that the lacquer finish on the bottom of the soleplate is designed to wear off during play. This is a normal cosmetic change and will not affect the performance or durability of the product.
