FAQs
What type of surface are these boots designed for?
These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) football pitches, which are typically natural grass pitches that are wet or muddy.
What does 'AntiClog' technology do?
AntiClog technology features a treated soleplate that helps prevent mud from sticking, ensuring consistent performance and reducing weight during play on wet pitches.
Can I use these boots on artificial grass?
No, these boots are not recommended for artificial grass or firm ground. Using them on such surfaces can damage the studs and the soleplate, and compromise performance.
How do I clean the FlyTouch upper?
The FlyTouch upper can be cleaned with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing.
Are spare studs included?
Spare studs are not included with the boots but are available for purchase separately. A stud key may also be required.
What is the benefit of the debossed touch grooves?
The debossed touch grooves are designed to enhance grip on the ball, providing better control for dribbling, passing, and receiving.
How does the knitted tongue contribute to performance?
The knitted tongue offers a dynamic, adaptive fit that locks the foot down securely, providing a glove-like feel and improved stability during movement.
Troubleshooting
Mud clogging the AntiClog soleplate
Ensure the soleplate is thoroughly cleaned with a brush or damp cloth after every use. Persistent buildup may require gentle scraping with a non-metallic tool.
Reduced traction on soft ground
Check the condition of the studs for wear. Consider replacing worn studs or ensure they are fully screwed in if detachable.
Boots feel uncomfortable or tight
Allow for a break-in period of a few training sessions. Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit.
Studs feel loose
If the studs are detachable, ensure they are tightened correctly using a stud key. If they are fixed and feel loose, this may indicate wear and require professional assessment or replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These boots come ready to wear. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal performance and comfort. Spare studs and a stud key are sold separately and may be required for maintaining the soleplate.
Compatibility:
- Surface: Specifically designed for soft ground (SG) football pitches. Use on firm ground, artificial grass, or indoor surfaces can lead to premature wear, damage, and reduced performance.
- Studs: The SG Pro configuration features metal-tipped studs suitable for soft earth. Ensure compatibility with league regulations regarding stud types.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess mud immediately using a soft brush or damp cloth. Pay special attention to the AntiClog soleplate to ensure the technology remains effective. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag, to protect them from damage and extreme temperatures.
