FAQs
Are these boots suitable for natural grass pitches?
No, these are Turf (TF) football boots designed specifically for artificial grass. Using them on natural grass may result in poor traction and premature wear.
How do I clean the Nanostrike mesh?
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently wipe the mesh. Avoid abrasive materials or excessive water.
What is the benefit of the fold-over tongue?
The fold-over tongue provides a larger, cleaner striking surface for the ball, which can improve accuracy and power when making contact.
How can I ensure the best fit?
Make sure to lace the boots securely, adjusting tightness across the midfoot for a locked-in feel. Consider the UK size 12 as indicated, and ensure it matches your usual foot measurement.
Will these boots provide good ankle support?
While they offer good midfoot stability through the Powerspine technology, they are low-cut football boots. For significant ankle support, consider specialized ankle braces.
How durable is the rubber outsole?
The rubber outsole is designed for the abrasion of artificial turf and is generally durable. Regular cleaning and avoiding inappropriate surfaces will extend its lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Torn stitching or seams
Inspect the area. Minor separations might be repairable by a professional cobbler. Significant damage may indicate the end of the product's life.
Reduced grip on turf
Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly to remove embedded dirt or debris that might be hindering grip.
Uncomfortable pressure points
Ensure the laces are tied correctly, not too tight or too loose. Break in the shoes gradually over a few training sessions. If pressure points persist, consult a shoe fitter.
Insole coming loose
Carefully remove the insole, clean both the insole and the inside of the boot, and then reinsert the insole, ensuring it lies flat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These football boots come ready to wear. Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets and tie them securely to achieve a snug fit. The fold-over tongue can be adjusted to your preference for comfort and performance.
Compatibility: These boots are specifically designed for use on artificial turf (TF) surfaces. Their stud pattern and sole construction provide optimal traction and support on synthetic grass. They are not recommended for use on firm ground (FG), soft ground (SG), or indoor (IN) surfaces as this can lead to reduced performance and potential damage to the boot.
Care: To maintain the quality and longevity of your boots:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the boots in water.
- Drying: Allow the 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 heaters, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe bag can protect them from dust and damage.
