Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The boots feature a regular fit with a lace closure and a floating tongue. For optimal fit, ensure the laces are tightened evenly and the floating tongue is positioned comfortably. The foldover tongue with a strap should create a clean striking area. No complex setup is required beyond standard lacing.
Compatibility: These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) football pitches, typically characterized by natural grass that is wet or muddy, requiring superior traction. They are not recommended for use on firm, hard, or artificial turf surfaces, as this can lead to reduced performance and potential damage to the studs and soleplate.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess mud and dirt with a soft brush or a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Stuff the boots with newspaper or a dry cloth to absorb moisture and help them retain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can degrade the materials.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, to protect them from dust and damage.
