FAQs
Can these boots be used by adults?
These boots are specifically designed for juniors (kids). While the technology is advanced, sizing and fit are tailored for younger players.
What does 'FG/AG' mean for the outsole?
FG/AG stands for Firm Ground / Artificial Grass. It indicates the outsole is designed to provide optimal traction and performance on both natural grass pitches and most artificial turf surfaces.
How do I clean the boots properly?
Gently brush off dirt, then wipe with a damp cloth. Allow them to air dry away from heat. Do not machine wash or soak.
What is the main advantage of the raised mesh lines?
The raised mesh lines, along with GripControl technology, are designed to enhance grip and precision when controlling the ball, aiding in dribbling and passing.
Can I switch between using laces and not using laces?
Yes, the design allows for flexibility. You can choose to wear them with laces for a secure fit or without laces for a more relaxed feel and quicker on-off.
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
The FUTURE 8 MATCH offers a regular to wide fit, making them suitable for a broader range of foot shapes compared to some more narrow-fitting boots.
Do these boots contain recycled materials?
Yes, the boots are made with at least 30% recycled materials, contributing to a more sustainable production process.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Try wearing them without laces for a looser fit, or adjust the lacing pattern. If the issue persists after a break-in period, consider if the size is appropriate for your foot width.
Reduced grip on the ball.
Ensure the GripControl areas and mesh lines are clean. Dirt or mud can significantly reduce their effectiveness. Clean with a damp cloth as per care instructions.
Traction issues on artificial grass.
While designed for AG, performance can vary based on turf type. Ensure the boots are clean. If slippage is a consistent problem, a boot specifically designed for AG might be more suitable.
Laces (if used) feel insecure.
Experiment with different lacing techniques or ensure the laces are tied tightly. For a more secure fit, consider using the laceless option if available and preferred.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These boots are designed for immediate play. Players can choose to use them with laces for a traditional secure fit or opt for the laceless design for maximum freedom and ease of wear. If using laces, thread them through the eyelets evenly to ensure balanced pressure across the foot.
Compatibility: The FG/AG (Firm Ground / Artificial Grass) outsole is optimized for a variety of modern football pitches. It performs best on well-maintained natural grass fields and standard artificial turf surfaces.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush. Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe down the upper and sole. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the boots in water.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
