FAQs
What is the main advantage of the Strikeskin grip fins?
The Strikeskin grip fins are designed to increase the surface area that contacts the ball, providing enhanced grip for more precise ball control during dribbling, passing, and shooting.
Can these boots be used on natural grass pitches?
No, these boots are specifically designed for artificial grass surfaces. Using them on natural grass may result in poor performance and increased wear on the outsole.
How does the Primeknit collar benefit the wearer?
The Primeknit collar offers a secure, sock-like fit around the ankle, providing support and preventing debris from entering the boot while enhancing the overall feel and connection to the shoe.
What is the HybridTouch 2.0 upper made of?
The HybridTouch 2.0 upper is a synthetic material engineered to offer a soft feel, flexibility, and excellent ball touch, similar to premium leather but with the durability of synthetics.
How should I clean my artificial grass football boots?
Clean with a soft brush or damp cloth after each use. Avoid harsh chemicals and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What does 'artificial grass' outsole mean?
An artificial grass outsole features a specific stud pattern and height designed to provide optimal traction, comfort, and stability on synthetic turf pitches, preventing players from sinking too deep or slipping.
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
The fit can vary by individual. The lace-up system allows for some adjustment. However, the Primeknit collar provides a snug fit, which may be a consideration for individuals with very wide feet.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have properly laced them to your comfort. If the tightness persists after a few wears, consider if they are the correct size. Some materials may require a short break-in period.
Lack of traction on the pitch
Verify that you are using the boots on their intended surface (artificial grass). Ensure the artificial grass studs are clean and free from debris that could impede grip.
Excessive wear on the outsole
Check if the boots are being used on surfaces other than artificial grass. Using them on harder or abrasive surfaces can accelerate outsole wear.
Primeknit collar feels restrictive
Ensure the laces are not overtightened around the ankle area. The Primeknit collar is designed for a snug fit; it may require a few wears to adapt to your ankle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup:
These boots are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure they are the correct size and fit snugly but comfortably. Utilize the lace-up system to achieve a personalized fit, ensuring the Primeknit collar hugs your ankle without causing discomfort.
Compatibility:
These boots are specifically designed for artificial grass (AG) and 3G/4G surfaces. The outsole configuration provides optimal traction on these types of pitches. They are not recommended for use on natural grass, firm ground (FG), or hard ground (HG) as the stud configuration may not provide adequate grip or could lead to premature wear and potential injury.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- 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. Using a shoe bag can help protect them and keep them clean.
- Insoles: If removable, take out the insoles to dry separately to prevent odors and ensure thorough drying.
