Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overly tightened. Consider wearing thinner socks or allowing more time for the boots to break in.

Traction feels inadequate on the pitch

Ensure the pitch surface is firm ground as intended. Clean any mud or debris from the conical studs, as buildup can affect grip.

Upper material seems stiff or less responsive

Wipe the upper with a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry. Avoid using harsh cleaning agents.

Soleplate feels unstable

Check that the boots are appropriate for the pitch condition. Ensure the soleplate is free from any embedded debris that might affect its integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Lacing: Ensure the traditional U-shaped throat and laces are comfortably but securely fastened to achieve a snug fit. Adjust as needed for optimal support.
  2. Initial Wear: It is recommended to wear the boots for a short period, such as during training warm-ups, to allow them to mold to your foot shape.

  • Pitch Type: These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) natural grass pitches. They are not recommended for artificial grass, hard ground, or very wet/muddy conditions.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the boots in water.
  • Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag, to protect them from dust and moisture.
