FAQs
What type of pitch are these boots best suited for?
These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) football pitches, which are typically wet and muddy.
How do I maintain the screw-in studs?
Regularly check that the studs are securely tightened before and during play. Clean the stud sockets of any debris and replace worn studs as needed.
Can I use these boots on artificial grass?
No, these boots are not recommended for artificial grass or firm ground surfaces. Their design with screw-in studs is optimized for soft, yielding ground.
How should I clean and care for my boots?
Wipe off excess mud with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources.
What is the benefit of the laceless design?
The laceless construction provides a clean, uninterrupted striking surface for the ball, potentially improving accuracy and power. It also offers a snug, locked-in fit.
What does 'HybridTouch' upper mean?
HybridTouch is a synthetic material that offers a soft, premium feel similar to leather, combined with the durability and low-maintenance benefits of synthetic materials. It enhances ball control and touch.
How do the Strikeskin fins help my game?
The rubber Strikeskin fins are strategically placed on the upper to increase friction with the ball, providing better grip for enhanced swerve, power, and accuracy on shots and passes.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure the correct size has been selected. The laceless construction and PRIMEKNIT collar are designed for a snug fit; allow a short break-in period. If discomfort persists, consider if the boot is suitable for your foot shape.
Lack of traction on soft ground
Verify that all screw-in studs are securely tightened. Ensure the studs are appropriate for the specific soft ground conditions. Clean any mud or debris from the stud sockets and the outsole.
Ball control feels different than expected
The HybridTouch upper and Strikeskin fins are designed for enhanced touch and grip. Allow time to adjust to the feel. Practice with the ball to get accustomed to the new surface and features.
Studs loosening during play
Ensure studs are fully tightened before and during play. Check the condition of the stud threads and the sockets on the boot. If threads appear worn, consider replacing the studs.

Compatibility:
