FAQs

Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?

These are designed for firm natural ground. While they may offer traction on artificial surfaces, it is recommended to use boots specifically marked as AG for synthetic turf to avoid unnecessary stud pressure or warranty issues.

How should I clean the HybridTouch material?

Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water. Gently wipe the surface and air dry at room temperature away from direct sunlight or heat.

Is the fold-over tongue removable?

The tongue is integrated into the design of the boot and is not intended to be removed. It features a strap to keep it secure during play.

Do I need to break them in?

Like most professional-grade football boots, they may require a few training sessions to fully mold to the shape of your foot.

Why is the paint coming off the bottom?

The soleplate has a lacquer finish which is cosmetic. It is normal for this to wear off during play and does not indicate a defect in the boot's performance.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight across the midfoot

Adjust the laces and ensure the fold-over tongue strap is not pulled too tightly during the initial wear-in process.

Accumulation of dirt in Strikeskin fins

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris from the rubber elements after each match to maintain maximum friction.

Heel slipping during sprints

Ensure the laces are tied through the top eyelet to secure the heel lock within the external counter.

Pros and Cons

  • High-stability soleplate design for rapid directional changes
  • Partially constructed with recycled materials

Cons

  • Lacquer finish on the soleplate wears off over time
  • Requires a break-in period for optimal comfort
  • Requires regular cleaning to maintain grip element effectiveness

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your boots last through the season, follow these guidelines:

  1. Fit Check: Ensure you have a thumb's width of space at the toe; the Primeknit collar will provide a snug wrap, so avoid sizing too small.
  2. Surface Compatibility: These are Firm Ground (FG) boots and are intended for natural grass. Using them on artificial grass (AG) or indoor surfaces may cause premature wear to the studs.
  3. Cleaning: After play, brush off excess mud and wipe the upper with a damp cloth. Avoid submerging the boots in water, as this can degrade the materials.
  4. Drying: Air dry only. Never place boots near a radiator or heater, as extreme heat can crack the synthetic upper or warp the soleplate adhesive.
  5. Lacquer Note: Do not be alarmed if the silver/white finish on the soleplate begins to chip; this is a cosmetic layer and does not affect the structural integrity or performance of the boot.
