Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Shadow Elite 4 boots, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: The Micro Warp upper is designed for minimal break-in, but spend at least two short training sessions wearing them before use in a competitive match.
- Surface Compatibility: These are Firm Ground (FG) boots intended for natural grass. Using them on artificial grass (AG) or hard surfaces can cause premature stud wear or potential plate stress.
- Cleaning: After each session, remove mud with a soft-bristled brush. Wipe down the upper with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the knit collar or the 3D haptic texture.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as extreme heat can warp the carbon fiber plate and damage adhesives.
