FAQs
What does FG/AG mean for these boots?
FG/AG stands for Firm Ground/Artificial Grass. This means the soleplate and stud configuration are designed to perform well on natural grass pitches that are firm, as well as on modern artificial grass pitches.
Is the SOFTTouch+ upper suitable for all weather conditions?
The SOFTTouch+ upper is designed for performance and comfort in various conditions. However, like all football boots, prolonged exposure to extreme wet conditions should be followed by proper drying procedures to maintain material integrity.
How do I maintain the 'locked-down' feel of the knitted tongue?
The slip-on knitted tongue is designed to create a snug fit. Ensure your socks are pulled up properly and lace the boots securely, utilizing the lacing system to achieve your preferred level of tightness. Regular cleaning of the boot interior can also help maintain its fit.
Can these boots be used for other sports?
These boots are specifically designed for football and are optimized for the demands of the game on FG/AG surfaces. Using them for other sports may lead to premature wear or damage to the soleplate and upper.
What is the main difference between the King 20 Match and other King models?
The King 20 Match focuses on providing essential performance features with a balance of comfort and durability, often at a more accessible price point. Higher-end models might feature more advanced materials or construction techniques for elite performance.
How should I store these boots to prolong their life?
Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat. A breathable boot bag is recommended to protect them and allow air circulation.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight
Wear the boots for short periods during non-playing activities to allow them to break in. If they remain uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate or if a different lacing technique might help.
Reduced traction on pitch
Check the FG/AG studs for any embedded debris or damage. Ensure you are using the boots on the appropriate pitch type (FG or AG). Clean the studs thoroughly.
Upper material feels stiff
The SOFTTouch+ upper is designed for durability. Consistent wear during practice and matches will help it conform to your foot's shape and become more flexible over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots are designed for immediate play. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably before your first match or training session. The knitted tongue offers a sock-like fit that should adapt to your foot shape quickly.
Compatibility: The FG/AG soleplate is specifically designed for use on Firm Ground (FG) natural grass pitches and Artificial Grass (AG) surfaces. Avoid using these boots on hard, unyielding surfaces like concrete or asphalt, as this can damage the studs and soleplate.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt and mud using a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place. Using a boot bag can help protect them and maintain their shape.
