FAQs
What type of ground are these boots best for?
These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) football pitches, which are typically wet or muddy natural grass surfaces.
Can I use these boots on artificial grass?
No, these boots are not suitable for artificial grass or firm ground. Using them on such surfaces can damage the boots and lead to poor performance or injury.
How do I maintain the screw-in studs?
Always ensure studs are securely tightened before play. Clean them after each use and replace them when they show signs of significant wear. A stud key is essential for this maintenance.
What is the advantage of the HybridTouch upper?
The HybridTouch upper offers a premium feel, exceptional ball control, and a soft touch, helping players to manage and strike the ball with greater precision.
How do I clean the boots?
Brush off excess mud, then clean with a damp cloth or a mild soap and water solution. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
What does the PRIMEKNIT collar do?
The PRIMEKNIT collar provides a sock-like fit around the ankle, enhancing comfort, support, and ensuring a secure lockdown to prevent foot slippage.
Are these boots suitable for all adult players?
Yes, they are designed for adult players of all levels who compete on soft ground and prioritize ball control, stability, and traction.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Wear the boots around the house with football socks to allow them to mold to your feet. Ensure studs are correctly installed and not causing pressure points.
Loss of traction on wet ground
Check that all screw-in studs are securely tightened. Ensure the studs themselves are not worn down; replace them if necessary.
PRIMEKNIT collar feels restrictive
Ensure the laces are loosened appropriately before putting on the boots. The collar is designed for a snug fit; with time and wear, it will become more comfortable.
Studs are difficult to screw in or remove
Ensure the stud threads are clean. Use a stud key for leverage. If resistance persists, check for any damage to the stud or the socket.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots come with screw-in studs. Ensure studs are securely fastened before first use. Depending on pitch regulations and conditions, you may need to adjust stud length or type. A stud key is typically required for tightening and loosening.
Compatibility: Designed exclusively for soft ground (SG) pitches, typically natural grass surfaces that are wet or muddy. They are not recommended for firm, hard, or artificial turf surfaces as this can cause damage to the studs and outsole, and compromise performance.
Care:
- Remove excess mud immediately after use with a brush or damp cloth.
- Clean the upper with a mild soap and water solution if necessary. Avoid harsh detergents.
- 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.
- Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag to protect them and prevent dirt from transferring.
