FAQs
What type of playing surface are these boots designed for?
These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches, which are wet or muddy natural grass surfaces.
Are the studs on these boots removable?
Yes, the adidas Copa Pure 2 Elite Soft Ground Football Boots feature removable soft ground studs, allowing for replacement and customization of grip. A stud key is included for this purpose.
How do I properly clean and care for the leather on these boots?
After each use, clean off mud and dirt with a damp cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally. Periodically, apply a suitable leather conditioner to keep the leather soft, supple, and prevent cracking. Avoid harsh chemicals or direct heat.
Can I use these boots on artificial grass or firm ground pitches?
No, these boots are not recommended for artificial grass (AG) or firm ground (FG) pitches. Using them on incorrect surfaces can damage the studs and outsole, and significantly reduce their lifespan and performance.
What is Fusionskin leather?
Fusionskin is a specialized, quilted leather used on the forefoot of these boots. It is designed to provide an incredibly soft and luxurious touch on the ball, enhancing control and feel, while also offering durability.
Is a stud key included with the boots?
Yes, a stud key is included with your purchase, making it easy to adjust and maintain your removable soft ground studs.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too stiff or uncomfortable during first wear.
Leather boots require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods during training sessions initially, and use a leather conditioner to help soften the material. Ensure your socks are comfortable and not causing friction.
Losing traction on a soft ground pitch.
Check all removable studs using the provided stud key to ensure they are securely tightened. If studs are worn or damaged, replace them with new soft ground studs. Ensure the pitch is indeed soft ground; these boots are not designed for firm or artificial surfaces.
Leather appears dry or is starting to crack.
This indicates the leather needs moisture. Clean the boots thoroughly and apply a quality leather conditioner or cream designed for football boots. Regular conditioning will maintain the leather's suppleness and durability.
Difficulty removing or tightening studs.
Ensure you are using the correct stud key (the one provided). Dirt or mud can accumulate in the stud threads, making them difficult to turn. Clean around the base of the studs with a small brush or pick before attempting to adjust them. A small amount of penetrating oil can help with stubborn studs.
Foot slipping inside the boot.
Ensure your laces are tied securely and snugly. Experiment with different lacing techniques if needed. Consider the type of socks you are wearing; some socks offer better grip than others. The U-throat collar and lace closure are designed for a secure fit, so proper lacing is key.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Before your first use, ensure the laces are threaded correctly and tie them to achieve a snug, comfortable fit that supports your foot without being overly tight.
- Stud Adjustment: These boots come with removable soft ground studs. Use the included stud key to ensure all studs are securely tightened before play. If you need to replace a damaged stud or adjust for specific pitch conditions, unscrew the old stud using the key and screw in the new one firmly.
Compatibility
These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches, which are typically natural grass fields that are wet or muddy. They are not recommended for use on firm ground (FG), artificial grass (AG), or indoor courts, as this can damage the studs and outsole, and compromise your traction and safety.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your leather boots:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove mud and dirt from the upper, soleplate, and studs using a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can dry out and crack the leather.
- Leather Conditioning: Periodically apply a suitable leather conditioner to keep the leather soft and supple. This helps prevent cracking and maintains the Fusionskin's quality.
- Stud Maintenance: Regularly check and tighten the removable studs. Clean around the stud threads to prevent dirt buildup that could make removal difficult.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, ideally with boot trees or crumpled newspaper inside to help them retain their shape.
