FAQs

What type of surface are these boots best suited for?

These boots are specifically designed for indoor courts and futsal pitches. The low-profile rubber outsole provides optimal traction on these smooth surfaces.

Can these boots be used for outdoor football?

No, these boots are not designed for outdoor use. The outsole is not built to withstand the abrasion of outdoor surfaces like grass, artificial turf, or concrete, and traction will be compromised.

How do I clean the synthetic upper?

Wipe the synthetic upper with a slightly damp cloth after removing loose dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or soaking the boots.

Are these boots suitable for all age groups?

These boots are categorized for kids, indicated by the 'Kids' sizing. While the design principles apply broadly, specific sizing is tailored for younger players.

What is the main advantage of the textured upper?

The allover texturing on the upper is engineered to enhance ball control, helping young players to dribble with greater precision and evade opponents more effectively.

How long does it typically take to break in these boots?

The break-in period can vary, but typically wearing them for a few short training sessions will allow the synthetic upper to conform to your foot for a more comfortable and responsive feel.

What does 'IC' stand for in the product name?

'IC' typically stands for Indoor Court, indicating the intended use of the footwear.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight

Ensure you have the correct size. Wear them around the house for a short period to allow the synthetic upper to mold to your foot. If still too tight, consider a half-size larger or consult the retailer.

Traction feels insufficient on court

Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris or dust, which can reduce grip. If the court surface is exceptionally dusty, a quick wipe of the sole may help. Ensure you are using them on an appropriate indoor surface.

Upper feels stiff

The synthetic upper may require a short break-in period. Wear the boots for short durations during training to allow them to soften and conform to your foot's shape.

Insole moving around

Remove the insole and re-insert it, ensuring it lies flat and is properly aligned within the boot. Some insoles can be replaced with aftermarket ones for a more personalized fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These football boots are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the correct size is selected for optimal fit and performance.

Compatibility:

  • Surface: Primarily designed for indoor courts and futsal pitches. Use on abrasive outdoor surfaces like concrete or asphalt will significantly wear down the outsole and is not recommended.
  • Weather: Not designed for wet or muddy outdoor conditions.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or solvents.
  2. Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe bag can help protect them and keep them clean.
  4. Laces: Check and tie laces securely before each use for a proper fit.
