Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie, ensuring even pressure distribution. If still too tight, consider if the size is appropriate or try wearing thinner socks.
Traction is poor on the pitch
Ensure you are using the boots on the intended firm ground surface. Clean any mud or debris from the studs for optimal grip.
