FAQs

What type of playing surface are the New Balance Furon Elite FG boots designed for?

These boots are specifically engineered for Firm Ground (FG) surfaces, which means natural grass pitches that are dry or slightly damp.

Is it normal for the soleplate's lacquer finish to wear off?

Yes, New Balance states that the lacquer finish on the bottom of this boot may wear off during play, but this will not affect the performance of the product.

How do I clean my Furon Elite FG boots?

After use, wipe off any dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid using direct heat or submerging them in water.

Can I use these boots on artificial grass (AG) pitches?

No, these boots are designed exclusively for firm natural ground. Using them on artificial grass can damage the studs, reduce performance, and potentially void the warranty.

What is the Hypoknit upper made of, and what are its benefits?

The Hypoknit upper features dual textures and mapped full-gauge and half-gauge knit zones. This construction enhances ball contact, providing optimal feel for power and finesse, and contributes to a comfortable, adaptive fit.

Who are some of the professional players endorsing the Furon range?

The Furon range is endorsed by professional athletes such as Bukayo Saka, Sadio Mané, Michelle Cooper, and Eberechi Eze.

How does the offset lacing benefit my game?

Offset lacing creates an extended strike zone, maximizing the boot-to-ball contact area. This allows for a cleaner, sweeter strike and more consistent power and accuracy in your shots and passes.

What does 'infiniGRIP lining' do?

The infiniGRIP lining in the performance sockliner is designed to provide enhanced grip and prevent your foot from slipping inside the boot, especially during quick movements and high-speed play, ensuring maximum power transfer and control.

Troubleshooting

The lacquer finish on my soleplate is wearing off.

This is a normal cosmetic occurrence mentioned by the manufacturer and does not affect the performance or durability of your New Balance Furon Elite FG boots. Continue to use them as intended.

My boots feel loose or uncomfortable during play.

Ensure you are lacing your boots correctly and tightening them evenly. The offset lacing allows for a custom fit. Also, double-check that you have the correct size. The low-profile Hypoknit collar and infiniGRIP lining are designed for lockdown, so proper lacing is key.

I'm experiencing poor traction on the pitch.

Verify that you are playing on a Firm Ground (FG) surface, as these boots are specifically designed for this type of natural turf. Using them on soft ground, artificial grass, or very dry, hard pitches may reduce traction. Also, check the studs for any embedded debris that might be hindering grip.

My feet feel like they are sliding inside the boot.

The performance sockliner with infiniGRIP lining is designed to prevent slippage. Ensure your laces are securely tied, and that your socks are not overly thin or slippery. If the issue persists, consider trying different athletic socks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Lacing: Loosen the offset laces fully before putting the boots on. Insert your foot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated in the engineered heel cup.
  2. Tighten: Begin tightening the laces from the bottom upwards, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit across the midfoot. The low-profile Hypoknit collar is designed to provide a secure fit, so avoid overtightening that could cause discomfort.
  3. Check Fit: Walk around and make a few quick movements to ensure the boots feel secure without any pressure points. The performance sockliner with infiniGRIP lining should keep your foot stable.

Compatibility

These boots are specifically engineered for Firm Ground (FG) surfaces. This means they are best suited for natural grass pitches that are dry or slightly damp. Using them on artificial grass (AG), soft ground (SG), or indoor surfaces is not recommended as it can compromise traction, boot durability, and potentially lead to injury.

Care

  1. Cleaning After Use: After each match or training session, remove any loose dirt or mud from the boots using a soft brush or cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Do not submerge the boots in water.
  2. Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers) as this can damage the materials. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb excess moisture and help maintain their shape.
  3. Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are clean and dry before storage to prevent mold or mildew.
  4. Lacquer Wear: The lacquer finish on the soleplate may wear off during play. This is a normal cosmetic occurrence and does not affect the boot's performance or durability.
