Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
These boots come with `screw-in studs` that are typically pre-installed but can be adjusted or replaced. Before your first use and regularly thereafter, ensure all studs are securely tightened. You may use a stud key (often sold separately) to tighten or replace them.
Compatibility
- Pitch Type: These boots are exclusively designed for `soft ground (SG)` natural grass pitches. They are not recommended for firm ground (FG), artificial grass (AG), or indoor surfaces, as this can damage the studs and reduce performance.
- Weather Conditions: Ideal for wet, muddy, or soft conditions where maximum traction is needed.
Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your K-leather boots:
- Cleaning after Use: Immediately after each use, clean off all mud and dirt. Use a soft brush or cloth and lukewarm water. Do not use harsh detergents.
- Stud Maintenance: Regularly check that all `screw-in studs` are tight. Replace worn or damaged studs as needed.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can crack and stiffen the leather.
- Conditioning: To keep the `K-leather` supple and prevent cracking, apply a suitable leather conditioner or boot cream periodically. This helps maintain the leather's natural properties and water resistance.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain the boot's shape.
