Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight
Wear them around the house with thin socks to allow the leather to mold to your foot. If still uncomfortable, consider a professional stretching service or a larger size.
Traction is poor on wet grass
The FG soleplate is not optimized for wet conditions. For wet pitches, consider boots with a different stud configuration (e.g., SG - Soft Ground).
Leather upper scuffs easily
Clean immediately after play and consider applying a leather conditioner to maintain suppleness and a protective layer. Minor scuffs are normal wear and tear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These football boots are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably before your first game.
Compatibility: The FG (Firm Ground) soleplate is designed for use on natural, dry grass pitches. It is not recommended for artificial turf, hard ground, or very wet conditions, as this can lead to premature wear or injury.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush. Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
- Drying: Allow 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 leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag, to maintain their shape and protect them from dust and moisture.
