FAQs
What type of playing surface are these boots suitable for?
These boots are specifically designed for firm ground (FG) pitches, which are natural grass surfaces that are typically dry and firm.
Can my child wear these boots on artificial grass?
No, these boots are not recommended for artificial grass (AG) surfaces. Using FG boots on AG may lead to discomfort, reduced performance, and premature wear of the studs.
How do the Strikescale fins help with performance?
The Strikescale fins are grippy elements on the upper designed to enhance precision and control when striking the ball, helping young players achieve better accuracy in their shots.
How should I clean these football boots?
After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Are these boots made with sustainable materials?
Yes, these boots are made with a blend of at least 20% recycled and renewable materials, contributing to efforts to reduce waste and reliance on finite resources.
What does 'Hybridfeel upper' mean?
The Hybridfeel upper refers to the synthetic material used for the boot's surface, featuring a 3D texture engineered to provide an enhanced touch and feel for the ball, improving control during play.
How can I ensure the best fit for my child?
Ensure your child tries the boots on with the type of socks they typically wear for football. The fit should be snug but comfortable, with enough room for toes to wiggle slightly. Laces should be tightened evenly for security.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel uncomfortable or cause blisters.
Ensure boots are properly broken in with short wears before full games. Check sock thickness and material; moisture-wicking socks can help. Re-evaluate lacing for optimal snugness without being too tight. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is correct.
Poor grip or instability on the pitch.
Confirm you are playing on a firm ground surface, as these boots are specifically designed for it. Inspect cleats for excessive wear or accumulation of mud/debris and clean them thoroughly. If playing on a different surface, the boots may not be suitable.
Laces frequently come undone during play.
Ensure you are using a secure knot, such as a double knot. Check if the laces are worn; sometimes new laces can provide better grip. You can also experiment with different lacing patterns to find one that holds more securely for your child's foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Loosen the laces adequately before putting on the boots. Insert your foot fully, ensuring your heel is snug against the back of the boot.
- Tighten Laces: Starting from the bottom eyelets, pull the laces evenly to achieve a snug but comfortable fit. Avoid overtightening, which can restrict circulation, or leaving them too loose, which can lead to instability and blisters.
- Initial Wear: Wear the boots for short periods during practice sessions to break them in. This allows the materials to mold to the foot's shape, enhancing comfort.
Compatibility
- These boots are specifically designed for firm ground (FG) pitches, which are natural grass surfaces that are typically dry and firm. They feature moulded conical or bladed studs optimized for this terrain.
- Not recommended for artificial grass (AG), soft ground (SG), or indoor (IC) surfaces, as the stud configuration is not suited for these conditions and could lead to reduced performance, potential injury, or premature wear of the boots.
Care
- Cleaning After Use: After each use, remove loose dirt and mud by gently tapping the boots together. Use a soft brush or damp cloth to wipe down the upper and outsole. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, or tumble dryers, as excessive heat can damage the materials and adhesives. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct heat and moisture. Using a boot bag can help protect them during transport and storage.
- Avoid Submerging: Do not submerge the boots in water or machine wash them, as this can compromise their structural integrity and material properties.
