FAQs
What type of playing surface are these boots best suited for?
These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG), meaning natural grass pitches that are typically dry to slightly damp. They are not recommended for artificial turf or muddy fields.
How does the Zoom Air technology benefit performance?
The Zoom Air unit, combined with the unique wave studs, provides optimized energy return. This means more responsiveness and an explosive feeling with each step, helping young players accelerate faster and maintain speed.
What is Flyknit and how does it help?
Flyknit is a lightweight, woven material used for the boot's upper. It offers a snug, supportive, and comfortable fit that conforms to your foot, enhancing touch and control by bringing you closer to the ball.
How should I clean these football boots?
After use, brush off loose dirt. Wipe the boots down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry them away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid using washing machines or harsh chemicals.
Can these boots be used on artificial grass (AG)?
No, these FG (Firm Ground) boots are not recommended for artificial grass. Using them on AG surfaces can damage the studs, reduce traction, and potentially void the warranty.
Are these boots for boys or girls?
These boots are designed as 'Unisex' for kids, meaning they are suitable for both boys and girls.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable during first wear.
The Flyknit upper is designed to mold to the foot. Allow for a short break-in period (1-2 light training sessions). Ensure you are wearing appropriate football socks, and check that the size is correct for your foot length and width.
Loss of grip or slipping on the pitch.
Verify the playing surface is firm natural grass. These boots are not designed for wet, muddy, or artificial pitches. Ensure the studs are clean and free from mud or debris that could impede traction.
Upper material showing signs of wear quickly.
Avoid using these boots on abrasive surfaces like artificial turf or concrete, as they are tailored for firm natural grass. Clean and dry the boots properly after each use to maintain material integrity. Ensure laces are not overtightened causing excessive strain on specific areas of the upper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure laces are tied securely but not overly tight, allowing for comfortable movement while keeping the foot locked in place. Experiment with lacing patterns for personalized comfort.
- Fit: The Flyknit upper will conform to your foot over time. Wear thin football socks to allow the boot to mold effectively during initial uses.
Compatibility
- Ground Type: These boots are exclusively designed for Firm Ground (FG) – natural grass pitches that are not excessively wet or muddy. Using them on artificial turf (AG) or indoor surfaces will degrade the studs and compromise performance and warranty.
- Age Group: Designed specifically for kids, providing features optimized for younger players.
Care
- Cleaning: After each use, gently brush off any loose dirt or grass from the soleplate and upper. Use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the exterior. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct sunlight, radiators, or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place. Using a boot bag can help protect them during transport and storage. Avoid leaving them in damp conditions to prevent odor and material breakdown.
