Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your boots last through the season, focus on proper break-in and maintenance:
- Break-in Period: Wear the boots for shorter training sessions before using them in a match to allow the leather to naturally contour to your foot.
- Surface Compatibility: These boots are primarily designed for firm ground (FG) surfaces. Using them on overly hard or artificial turf may lead to premature stud wear.
- Cleaning: After play, remove loose dirt and mud using a soft brush or cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or industrial detergents.
- Drying: Air dry the boots at room temperature. Never place them near direct heat sources like heaters or fireplaces, as high heat can crack and stiffen the leather.
- Maintenance: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the TechLeather soft and water-resistant.
