Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Shadow Elite 4 boots, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps.
- Break-in: Wear the boots for short training sessions before using them in competitive matches to allow the knit collar and upper to conform to your foot shape.
- Surface Compatibility: Use exclusively on natural grass surfaces. Using these boots on abrasive artificial turf can cause premature wear on the carbon fiber plate and stud tips.
- Cleaning: After each game, remove excess mud with a soft brush. Wipe the upper down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the boots in water.
- Drying: Air dry the boots naturally in a well-ventilated area. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in the dryer, as this can warp the carbon fiber plate and damage the knit components.
