Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?
These are designed for firm ground (FG). While they can perform on some artificial surfaces, they are best suited for natural grass.
Do I need to spray the boots with waterproofing?
No, the boots feature an integrated Never-Wet coating, so additional sprays are not necessary and may alter the feel of the upper.
How do I maintain the carbon fiber outsole?
Wipe the outsole clean after every match to prevent soil buildup from affecting the traction patterns.
Are these boots unisex?
While the core design is tailored for male performance standards, the sizing is universal provided you match your UK foot measurements correctly.
Can I use these in the rain?
The Never-Wet coating provides excellent water resistance, keeping your feet dry in damp conditions or light rain.
Is the sockliner removable?
Yes, the molded sockliner can be removed for cleaning or replaced with custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Knit upper feels too tight during first wear
The IntelliKnit material will naturally stretch and conform to your foot shape after 1-2 training sessions.
Difficulty putting the boot on
Ensure the heel tab is pulled fully during entry; the ergonomic design is intended to be snug to prevent internal slippage.
Accumulation of dirt in the knit patterns
Use a soft-bristled brush once the dirt has dried to gently flick away debris from the ribbed sections.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, ensure the boots are correctly laced to secure the foot within the knit sleeve. As these are designed for firm ground (FG), they are compatible with natural grass fields but should be avoided on excessively hard, concrete-like surfaces or very deep mud to preserve the outsole integrity. To clean the boots, wipe them down with a damp cloth after each use to remove grass stains and mud. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the Never-Wet coating and the integrity of the knit upper. Allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
