FAQs
What type of surface are these boots best suited for?
These boots are designed for firm ground (FG) pitches, which are typically dry and natural grass surfaces.
How do I clean the synthetic upper?
Wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
What is the benefit of the fold-over tongue?
The fold-over tongue is designed to provide a cleaner surface for striking the ball, potentially improving accuracy and power. It also offers a customizable fit.
How long does the break-in period typically last?
The break-in period can vary, but most players find the boots comfortable after a few training sessions or one match. Wearing them for short durations initially can help.
Are these boots suitable for players with wide feet?
The boots have a regular fit, which generally accommodates a range of foot shapes. However, individual fit can vary.
Can I use these boots in wet conditions?
While they can be used in slightly damp conditions, they are optimized for firm ground. Performance and durability may be reduced on very wet or muddy pitches.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight
Loosen the laces and adjust the fold-over tongue. Wear with appropriate football socks. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, consider if the size is correct.
Traction is poor on wet grass
These boots are designed for firm ground. For wet or soft ground, consider using alternative boots with different stud configurations. Clean the studs after use to ensure optimal performance.
Fold-over tongue is difficult to manage
Experiment with different lacing techniques to secure the tongue. Some players prefer to tuck it under the laces, while others secure it over the top.
Synthetic upper feels stiff
Wear the boots for short periods during light training sessions to allow them to break in naturally. Avoid excessive bending or creasing of the material.
