FAQs
Are these boots suitable for all playing surfaces?
No, these are Firm Ground (FG) football boots and are best suited for natural grass pitches that are not excessively wet or muddy.
What does the 'EQT' in the name refer to?
EQT stands for Equipment, a collection from adidas that was iconic in the 90s. These boots feature branding and design elements inspired by that classic line.
How does the floating tongue work?
The floating tongue is part of the lace closure system and is designed to make the boots easier to put on and allow for a more customizable and secure fit.
Will the wear on the soleplate's lacquer affect performance?
No, the lacquer finish may wear off during play, but this is a cosmetic effect and will not impact the performance or function of the boot.
What is the benefit of Powerspine technology?
Powerspine technology provides increased midfoot stability, which helps players generate more power when striking the ball.
Are these boots made with sustainable materials?

Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Adjust the lacing system, ensuring the floating tongue is correctly positioned. The Primeknit collar may require a few wears to fully adapt to your ankle shape.
Traction feels inconsistent on the pitch
Ensure the studs are clean and free from debris. Verify that you are playing on a suitable Firm Ground (FG) surface. The 'fang' stud design is optimized for this.
Lacquer on soleplate has worn off
This is a normal occurrence during play and does not impact the performance or structural integrity of the boot. Continue to use as normal.
