Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try loosening the laces or wearing thinner socks. If discomfort persists, consider a different model or size.
Poor traction on the playing surface.
Check the studs for wear and tear. Ensure the boots are clean. Consider the surface conditions (e.g., wet grass) and whether FG/MG boots are suitable for that surface.
