FAQs
Are these boots suitable for natural grass?
These boots are specifically designed for artificial turf (TF) and offer limited traction on natural grass. For natural grass, consider boots with different stud configurations.
How do I clean the Hybridfeel upper?
Wipe the upper gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive water.
What is the main benefit of the Strikescale elements?
The Strikescale elements are designed to enhance grip on the ball, allowing for more precise control during passes, shots, and dribbling.
Can these boots be used for indoor football?
No, these boots have a rubber outsole designed for artificial turf and are not suitable for indoor courts, which require non-marking soles.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Lace the boots evenly, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit. The heel should feel secure, and there should be no significant slippage when walking or changing direction.
What makes the outsole suitable for artificial turf?
The rubber outsole features a pattern of small studs designed to grip the artificial fibers of the turf, providing stability and preventing slips.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight
Loosen the laces, particularly around the midfoot, and re-tie for a more relaxed fit. Ensure the correct size has been purchased.
Lack of grip on artificial turf
Clean the rubber studs on the outsole to remove any embedded debris. Ensure the playing surface is not excessively wet or muddy, which can affect traction.
Ball slips off during control
Ensure the Strikescale elements on the upper are clean. Practice different touch techniques to fully utilize the upper's grip.
Slight discomfort during first wear
Wear the boots for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure socks are appropriate for football.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the laces are threaded correctly and adjust them for a snug, comfortable fit before each use. A proper lacing technique can maximize lockdown and prevent movement within the boot.
Compatibility: Primarily designed and optimized for artificial turf (TF) surfaces. Compatibility with natural grass is limited, and performance may be compromised. Not recommended for hard courts or indoor surfaces.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove excess dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the boots.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a breathable boot bag, to maintain their shape and material integrity.
