Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Loosen the laces sufficiently to easily slide your foot into the boot.
- Fit: Ensure your heel is comfortably seated at the back of the boot. The fit should be snug but not uncomfortably tight.
- Tongue Adjustment: Pull the foldover tongue into position and secure the strap if present. This ensures an integrated feel and clear striking surface.
- Lace Up: Tighten the laces evenly from the toes upwards, securing them in a knot. Ensure the laces are firm enough to hold your foot securely without causing pressure points.
Compatibility
These boots are specifically designed for Soft Ground (SG) pitches. This includes natural grass fields that are wet, muddy, or have soft soil. Using them on hard ground or artificial turf may damage the studs and reduce their effectiveness and lifespan.
Care
- Cleaning After Use: After each use, remove loose mud and dirt by gently tapping the boots together. Use a soft brush or cloth with lukewarm water to clean the upper, soleplate, and studs.
- Drying: Do not force dry your boots using direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, hair dryers), as this can damage the materials. Instead, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry at room temperature.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
- Material Care: The HybridTouch upper, being a synthetic suede and foil combo, is durable but benefits from regular cleaning to maintain its appearance and performance.
