FAQs
Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?
These are primarily designed for Firm Ground (FG) surfaces. While they may be worn on high-quality artificial grass, specific AG-rated boots offer better longevity on those surfaces.
How should I clean the silicone grip elements?
Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water. Gently wipe the surface to remove mud, then wipe with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Are these boots unisex?
Yes, these are designed as unisex football boots, suitable for all adult players.
Can the Ortholite sockliner be removed?
Yes, the sockliner is removable if you need to replace it with custom orthotics or if it requires separate cleaning.
Do I need to break these in?
While the knitted collar provides an adaptive fit, it is recommended to wear them for light training sessions before a competitive match to ensure the materials contour fully to your foot.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from a lightweight, synthetic material featuring specialized silicone grip zones for ball manipulation.
Troubleshooting
Sensation of slippage inside the boot
Ensure the laces are securely tightened and verify that the heel is properly seated against the back of the collar.
Difficulty in getting the boot on
Use the pull tabs (if available) or expand the knitted collar fully before inserting your foot; do not force the entry.
Accumulation of debris under the soleplate
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge dirt from around the Rim Studs after drying the boot.
Pros and Cons
Pros

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, ensure the laces are adjusted evenly from the eyelets down to the midfoot to prevent pressure points. These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches; using them on artificial grass or soft, muddy ground may alter the performance and durability of the studs. After each use, wipe down the exterior with a slightly damp cloth to remove debris and mud from the silicone elements. To maintain the structural integrity of the knitted collar and the foam in the sockliner, allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources such as radiators or heaters, which can cause the materials to warp or become brittle.
