These boots are straightforward to set up and use. Simply slip them on and lace them up, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit. The `regular fit` accommodates most foot shapes, but always ensure there's enough room for your toes without your heel slipping. They are specifically compatible with soft ground (SG) pitches, which typically include natural grass fields that are wet, muddy, or yielding. Using them on artificial turf (AG) or firm ground (FG) may damage the studs and reduce their effectiveness and lifespan. To care for your boots, clean them thoroughly after each use. Remove any mud and debris with a soft brush and wipe them down with a damp cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as excessive heat can damage the materials. Regularly check the removable metal studs to ensure they are securely tightened; a stud key (sold separately) can be used for this. Replace worn or damaged studs as needed to maintain optimal grip.
