FAQs

What does 'FG' mean on the boots?

FG stands for Firm Ground. This indicates the outsole is designed for optimal traction on natural, firm grass pitches.

Can I use these boots on artificial grass?

While possible, it's not recommended. FG boots can wear down quickly and potentially cause discomfort or injury on artificial surfaces. An AG (Artificial Grass) specific boot is recommended for such pitches.

How do I clean the FUZIONFIT³ upper?

Wipe the upper gently with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and rinse carefully. Allow to air dry.

What is the main advantage of the GripControl Pro finish?

The GripControl Pro finish provides an enhanced textured surface on the upper, which significantly improves a player's ability to grip and control the ball with their feet.

Are these boots suitable for all adult players?

Yes, they are designed for adult players, particularly those who prioritize agility, creativity, and ball control on firm ground.

How does the FLEXGILITY outsole contribute to performance?

The FLEXGILITY outsole is engineered to offer superior flexibility and support for 360-degree movement, enabling quick turns, pivots, and agile play.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight

Try wearing them with slightly thicker socks for a short period to allow the FUZIONFIT³ upper to adapt. If the issue persists, consider if a larger size is needed.

Traction issues on wet grass

FG boots are optimized for firm ground. Performance may be reduced on very wet or muddy pitches. Ensure studs are clear of mud.

Dirt build-up on grip texture

Gently clean the textured areas with a damp cloth or soft brush to restore grip. Ensure all debris is removed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These boots are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably. You may wish to wear them for a short period indoors to get accustomed to the fit.

Compatibility: The FG (Firm Ground) outsole is designed for use on natural, firm grass pitches. Avoid using these boots on hard surfaces like concrete or artificial turf, as this can damage the studs and affect performance.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, to maintain their shape and condition.
