Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Breaking In: While designed for comfort, new boots, especially with a Dynamic Fit collar, may require a short break-in period. Wear them for a few light training sessions before a full match to allow them to mold to your feet.
- Lacing: Ensure laces are snug but not overly tight. Use the lacing system to customize the fit around your midfoot, working with the Dynamic Fit collar for a secure feel.
- Wearing the Dynamic Fit Collar: Gently pull the collar up and over your ankle. If it feels too tight initially, wear thin socks during the break-in period.
Compatibility
These boots are FG/MG (Firm Ground/Multi-Ground), meaning they are designed for optimal performance on:
- Firm, Natural Grass Pitches: Dry or slightly damp short-grass fields.
- Artificial Grass (AG) Surfaces: Synthetic turf pitches.
Avoid using FG/MG boots on extremely wet, muddy, or icy natural grass, or hard court surfaces, as this can damage the studs and compromise traction.
Care
- Cleaning After Use: Immediately after playing, knock off excess dirt. Use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap and water to clean the upper and soleplate. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Stuff the boots with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Air dry them at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place. Using a boot bag can protect them from dust and damage.
