FAQs
Can I use these boots on artificial grass?
These boots are designed primarily for Firm Ground (natural grass). Using them on abrasive artificial turf may result in excessive stud wear.
How do I maintain the Gripknit texture?
Regularly wipe the upper with a clean, damp cloth and avoid using detergents that could leave a film on the material.
Are these boots waterproof?
While the Gripknit material performs well in wet conditions, they are not fully waterproof and should be dried properly after play.
What is the benefit of the asymmetric lacing?
The asymmetric lacing provides a larger surface area for the ball to contact, leading to more accurate strikes and passes.
Do I need to size up for these boots?
The Phantom GX Elite typically fits true to size. If you prefer a very tight, lockdown feel, stick to your standard size.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The fit is generally anatomical; however, the material will stretch slightly to accommodate different foot shapes over time.
Troubleshooting
Accumulation of mud on the soleplate
Use a soft-bristled brush after the mud has dried to gently dislodge debris from between the studs.
Loss of surface grip
Clean the Gripknit upper with a damp cloth to remove any dust or debris that might be masking the texture.
Heel slippage
Ensure the asymmetric laces are tightened securely through all eyelets to lock the heel into the contoured cup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your boots last through the season, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear the boots during light training sessions before competitive matches to allow the materials to mold to your foot shape.
- Surface Compatibility: Use exclusively on natural grass (Firm Ground). Using these on hard-packed artificial grass may lead to premature stud wear or discomfort.
- Cleaning: After every use, gently wipe the Gripknit upper with a damp cloth to remove mud. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that may strip the grip texture.
- Drying: Air dry the boots at room temperature. Do not place them near radiators or heaters, as excessive heat can cause the material to warp or lose its integrity.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
