FAQs
What type of pitch are these boots best suited for?
These boots are specifically designed for soft, natural ground pitches, which are typically wet and muddy.
How do I clean my boots after playing on a muddy pitch?
After use, remove excess mud with a soft brush. Wipe the boots with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Can I use these boots on artificial grass?
No, these boots are not recommended for artificial grass or firm ground surfaces, as the metal studs can cause damage and reduce performance.
What is the purpose of the fold-over tongue?
The fold-over tongue is designed to create a cleaner, smoother surface area for striking the ball, enhancing accuracy and power in shots and passes.
How do I ensure a secure fit?

Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring even pressure. Wear the boots for short periods indoors to break them in gradually.
Lack of traction on soft ground
Check that all metal studs are present and securely screwed in. Ensure the studs are appropriate for the specific ground conditions; consider different stud lengths if available and compatible.
Difficulty striking the ball cleanly
Ensure the fold-over tongue is positioned correctly and secured as intended. Practice with the ball to get accustomed to the feel of the strike zone.
