Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can I use these on artificial turf?
These boots are specifically engineered for firm ground (FG) natural grass. Using them on turf may lead to excessive stud wear or lack of proper traction.
How should I clean the mesh upper?
Gently wipe the mesh with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid submerging the boots fully in water.
Are these boots waterproof?
The boots feature breathable mesh for cooling, so they are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or firm pitch conditions.
What does the TPU plate do?
The TPU plate serves as the foundation for the boot, providing a responsive base that assists with energy return during sprinting and cutting.
Is the sizing standard?
The boots follow standard adult sizing. It is recommended to try them on with the specific socks you intend to wear during matches to ensure a perfect fit.
Troubleshooting
Accumulation of mud in stud pattern
Use a plastic scraper or soft-bristled brush after the mud has slightly dried to dislodge debris without damaging the TPU plate.
Persistent odor after intensive use
Remove the insoles to air out and use a sports-specific antimicrobial spray; always allow boots to dry fully in a well-ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your boots, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure the boots have a snug, secure fit without pinching. The synthetic materials will offer minor flexibility over time.
- Surface Compatibility: These are Firm Ground (FG) boots. Do not use them on artificial turf (AG) or concrete as this may cause premature wear to the studs and plate.
- Cleaning: After play, remove loose mud using a soft brush. Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
- Drying: Air dry the boots naturally at room temperature. Never place them in a dryer or near a direct heat source, such as a radiator, as this can degrade the foam and synthetic adhesives.
