Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable after initial wear.
Ensure laces are tied evenly and not overly tightened. Wear the boots for short periods during non-game activities to allow the synthetic upper and internal foam to adapt to your foot shape.
Lack of traction on the pitch.
Verify that the boots are being used on the intended Firm Ground (FG) surface. Ensure the studs are clean and free from debris. Check for excessive wear on the stud pattern.
Ball control feels difficult.
The embossed texture on the upper is designed to aid ball control. Practice with the ball to familiarize yourself with the feel. Ensure the boots are clean, as mud can reduce grip on the ball.
Studs feel like they are digging in uncomfortably.
Confirm you are playing on a suitable natural grass surface. Very hard or uneven ground can cause discomfort. Ensure the die-cut EVA insole is properly seated for optimal cushioning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
Lacing: Ensure the standard tie laces are secured evenly for a snug, locked-in fit. Adjust tightness based on comfort and support needed during play.
Break-in: While designed for immediate performance, a short break-in period on the training ground can help the synthetic upper mold to your foot shape for maximum comfort.
Compatibility:
Surface: These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG), meaning natural grass pitches that are not excessively wet or muddy.
Avoid: Do not use these boots on artificial turf, hard ground, or very wet/muddy fields, as this can damage the studs and compromise performance and safety.
Care:
Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth. For tougher mud, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the boots.
Drying: Air dry the boots naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources (radiators, fireplaces) as this can damage the materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a boot bag can help maintain their condition and prevent damage.
