FAQs
Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?
These boots are designed specifically for Firm Ground (FG) natural grass. Using them on artificial surfaces may cause premature damage to the soleplate.
How do I clean the Hypoknit collar?
Gently wipe the knit area with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, then allow it to air dry fully.
Do these boots run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing for football boots. It is recommended to try them on with your match-day socks to ensure the correct fit.
Is the upper leather or synthetic?
The upper is crafted from high-quality True Touch Tech microfibre, which provides the benefits of lightweight synthetic performance.
What is the primary benefit of the conical studs?
Conical studs allow for easier rotation and movement on firm ground, reducing the risk of 'sticking' to the pitch during sharp turns.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff during the first game
This is normal for new microfibre footwear. Wear them during training sessions for 15-20 minutes to allow the material to mold to your foot shape.
Excessive grass and mud build-up under the studs
Use a specialized boot brush or a stiff-bristled brush to clear the gaps between the conical studs after every match.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Secure and supportive fit through the Hypoknit collar
- Lightweight construction reduces foot fatigue
- Enhanced ball control due to debossed quilting
- Modern aesthetic while maintaining a professional feel
Cons
- Soleplate design is strictly for firm ground surfaces
- Knit collar may feel tight for players with wider ankles
- Requires a break-in period to maximize the comfort of the microfibre upper
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your boots, always ensure the size is correct before the first use; the fit should be snug but not restrictive. These boots are engineered for Firm Ground (FG) natural grass pitches and should not be used on concrete, indoor courts, or high-friction artificial grass as this can cause premature soleplate wear.
Care Instructions:
- After use, knock off loose dirt and mud while still damp.
- Wipe the upper with a soft, slightly damp cloth; do not submerge in water.
- Air dry the boots naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack the materials.
- Stuff with newspaper to help maintain the boot's shape while drying.
