FAQs
Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?
No, these boots are specifically designed for firm ground (FG) natural grass pitches. Using them on artificial surfaces may reduce performance and increase wear.
How do I clean the HybridTouch upper?
Wipe the HybridTouch upper gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or soaking the boots.
What is the purpose of the fold-over tongue?
The iconic fold-over tongue provides a secure and adjustable fit, allowing players to customize their lockdown and creating a clean striking surface.
How should I dry the boots after use?
Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature away from direct heat sources.
What age group are these boots intended for?
These boots are designed for kids, specifically catering to junior foot sizes.
Can the sizing be adjusted with the laces?
Yes, the lace-up design allows for adjustability to achieve a secure and personalized fit.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Loosen the laces and ensure the fold-over tongue is positioned correctly. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is appropriate for your foot. Trying on different sizes or widths might be necessary.
Traction feels insufficient on the pitch.
Ensure the boots are being used on their intended surface (firm, natural grass). Clean any mud or debris from the studs, as build-up can reduce grip.
Material appears to be stretching or losing shape.
Avoid prolonged exposure to heat or moisture. Ensure proper drying and storage methods are followed as outlined in the care instructions.
The fold-over tongue won't stay in place.
Ensure the tongue is securely tucked and that the laces are tightened firmly over it. The design relies on the lacing system to maintain its position during play.
