FAQs
What type of surface are these boots designed for?
These boots are specifically designed for firm ground (FG) pitches, which typically refers to natural grass surfaces that are not excessively wet or muddy.
How does the NanoStrike+ upper improve performance?
The NanoStrike+ upper combines a breathable mesh with strategically placed rubber grip elements. This enhances ball control, improves touch for passing and dribbling, and offers greater precision when shooting.
What is the benefit of the PowerSpine technology?
PowerSpine technology is integrated into the midfoot to provide enhanced stability. It supports the sole during impact, helping to channel power directly through the ball for more powerful and accurate shots.
Can I use these boots on artificial grass?
These boots are optimized for firm ground and are not recommended for artificial grass. Using them on artificial surfaces may lead to reduced performance, increased stud wear, or potential injury.
How do I clean my football boots?
After use, brush off dirt with a dry brush or cloth. For tougher dirt, use a damp cloth. Avoid soaking the boots or using harsh cleaning agents. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Does the Primknit collar offer extra ankle support?
Yes, the Primknit collar is designed to provide a snug, sock-like fit around the ankle, offering a blend of comfort and support that helps with agility and stability during play.
Are the studs removable?
No, the studs on these firm ground boots are non-removable.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure laces are adjusted correctly. Try wearing them for short periods initially to allow the materials to break in. If discomfort persists, consider if this is the correct size for your foot shape.
Traction issues on the pitch
Confirm you are using the boots on a suitable firm ground surface. Clean the studs of any embedded dirt or grass, as this can significantly affect grip.
Materials feel stiff
This is common with new boots. Wear them for light training sessions or around the house to gradually break them in. Avoid using heat to soften them, as this can damage the materials.
Stitching appears loose
Inspect the area closely. Minor cosmetic looseness may not affect performance, but if stitching is clearly compromised and affecting structural integrity, contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Unpack the boots and inspect for any damage.
Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets.
Lace the boots snugly to achieve a secure, comfortable fit. The Primknit collar should feel supportive but not constrictive.
Compatibility:
These boots are specifically designed for firm ground (FG) pitches. The stud pattern is optimized for natural grass surfaces with moderate moisture. They are not recommended for artificial turf, hard ground, or very wet/muddy conditions, as this may lead to slippage or damage to the studs.
Care:
Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or a dry cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the boots in water.
Drying: Stuff the boots with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture and help them retain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can degrade the materials.
Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, to protect them from dust and damage. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent odor and mildew.
