FAQs
Are these boots suitable for all weather conditions?
No, the FG (Firm Ground) soleplate is specifically designed for dry, firm natural grass pitches. They are not recommended for wet, muddy, or artificial surfaces.
How do I clean my leather football boots?
Wipe off dirt with a damp cloth or soft brush. Allow them to air dry naturally and consider using a leather conditioner periodically to maintain the material.
Can I remove the foldover tongue?
Yes, the foldover tongue is designed to be removable. You can choose to wear it for extra padding or remove it for a different feel and aesthetic.
Are these boots heavier than previous Copa models?
No, the Copa Gloro II FG boots are 28 grams lighter than their predecessor, contributing to a more agile feel on the pitch.
What does 'FG' stand for?
FG stands for Firm Ground. This indicates the type of outsole and stud configuration, optimized for natural grass pitches that are not excessively wet or soft.
Is the leather genuine cow leather?
Yes, the upper is made from supersoft cow leather, providing a premium feel and touch.
What is the benefit of the quilted forefoot?
The quilted forefoot enhances the cushioned touch and helps to reduce ball slippage, allowing for more controlled passes and shots.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or cause discomfort
Ensure you have the correct size. Try lacing them differently or removing the foldover tongue. Leather boots may require a break-in period; wear them for short durations initially.
Traction is poor on the pitch
Confirm you are using them on a suitable firm ground surface. Ensure the studs are clean and free from debris. Worn-out studs may need replacement.
Leather upper feels stiff after drying
Apply a suitable leather conditioner to restore suppleness. Ensure the boots were not dried using excessive heat.
Tongue feels awkward or slips
Experiment with securing the foldover tongue using the laces, or try removing it completely for a traditional fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the fit is snug but comfortable before lacing up. The foldover tongue can be secured with the laces or removed entirely if preferred.
Compatibility: The FG (Firm Ground) soleplate is designed exclusively for use on natural grass pitches that are dry and relatively firm. Do not use these boots on artificial grass, hard ground, or soft, wet surfaces, as this can lead to poor performance, increased risk of injury, and damage to the studs.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt and mud with a soft brush or a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or soaking the boots.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a breathable boot bag, away from direct sunlight.
- Leather Care: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the cow leather supple and prevent it from drying out or cracking.
