FAQs
Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?
These boots are specifically engineered for firm ground (FG) surfaces. While they may work on some artificial grass, the stud configuration is optimized for natural grass pitches.
How do I maintain the fold-over tongue?
Ensure the elastic strap is intact and kept free of mud. Periodically brush the area under the tongue to prevent debris buildup.
Does the suede material hold water?
While the materials are designed for sports, the suede components can absorb water; it is recommended to dry them thoroughly at room temperature after wet matches.
Can I remove the tongue?
No, the fold-over tongue is integrated into the structural design of the boot and should not be modified or removed.
What is the best way to store these boots?
Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the white material from yellowing and the glue from prematurely aging.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight across the midfoot
Loosen the lacing system completely, then re-lace with even tension to allow the PRIMEKNIT collar and upper to stretch naturally to your foot shape.
Excessive grass buildup in the outsole
Use a specialized boot cleaning tool or a dull plastic scraper to clear out the gaps in the ControlFrame 2.0 after every match.
Discoloration of the white finish
Gently clean with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth immediately after exposure to dirt to prevent stains from setting into the suede/synthetic upper.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior ball control and accuracy via Strikeskin technology
- Excellent stability on firm ground surfaces
- Secure and adaptive fit from the PRIMEKNIT collar
- Clean, traditional aesthetic with the classic fold-over tongue
Cons
- Requires regular cleaning due to the white colourway
- Suede material needs careful maintenance compared to all-synthetic boots
- Limited to firm ground surfaces for optimal performance
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, ensure you are wearing the performance socks you typically use for matches when testing the boots for the first time. The PRIMEKNIT collar is designed to be snug; ensure it is fully pulled up for optimal lockdown.
Care Instructions:
- After playing, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud and grass from the outsole and upper.
- Wipe the synthetic/suede exterior with a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals that may degrade the materials.
- Never dry the boots using direct heat sources like radiators, as this can crack the soleplate or damage the suede.
- Stuff the boots with newspaper between uses to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
