FAQs
What type of surface are these boots best for?
These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches, which typically means dry, natural grass or modern artificial grass surfaces.
How do I clean the boots?
Wipe them with a damp cloth after use and let them air dry naturally. Avoid using heat sources to speed up drying.
Will the fold-over tongue get in the way?
The fold-over tongue is designed to create a smoother striking surface. It is secured by the laces and generally stays in place for most players. If it becomes an issue, ensure laces are tied tightly.
Are these boots suitable for players who need extra ankle support?
While the Primeknit upper offers a snug, supportive fit, these boots do not feature extended ankle collars. Players requiring significant ankle support might need to consider additional bracing or different boot styles.
What is the main advantage of the Nanostrike Pro mesh?
The Nanostrike Pro mesh includes tactile-feedback areas that help young players improve the accuracy and feel of their ball strikes.
Can these boots be used on artificial turf?
Yes, they are suitable for modern artificial grass pitches. However, they are not recommended for older, harder artificial surfaces or very wet, muddy natural grass.
What does 'HybridTouch' refer to?
HybridTouch is a material used in the upper that provides a soft feel and a snug, adaptive fit for enhanced comfort and ball control.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Loosen the laces and re-adjust for a more comfortable fit. Ensure the size is correct for the wearer's foot. The HybridTouch and Primeknit upper may require a short break-in period.
Traction feels insufficient on wet grass
These boots are primarily designed for firm ground. For wet or muddy conditions, consider alternative boots with different stud configurations. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris.
Fold-over tongue does not stay in place
Ensure the tongue is tucked securely under the laces and that the laces are tightened properly. Some players may use a small amount of athletic tape for extra security if needed.
Outer material shows signs of wear quickly
Excessive friction or contact with abrasive surfaces can cause wear. Ensure the boots are used only on appropriate surfaces (firm ground) and stored correctly. Regular cleaning can help maintain material integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Lacing: Ensure the laces are threaded through the eyelets and tightened evenly for a secure, custom fit. The fold-over tongue should be positioned comfortably over the laces before the final tightening.
- Fit Check: Confirm the boots fit snugly but without pinching. The Primeknit upper should wrap around the foot securely.
Compatibility:
- These boots are designed for Firm Ground (FG). They are best suited for use on modern, well-maintained artificial grass pitches and sometimes on slightly wet or dry natural grass pitches. They are not recommended for hard or muddy grounds, or for artificial turf specifically designed for longer blades.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth. For tougher grime, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or solvents.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources (like radiators or fires) as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag, to maintain their shape and prevent moisture damage.
