FAQs

What is the main advantage of the Air Zoom unit?

The 3/4-length Air Zoom unit provides responsive cushioning for explosive take-offs and helps absorb impact during high-speed running.

Can I use these boots on artificial grass?

Are these boots suitable for all player positions?

While designed for speed, their performance benefits like acceleration and agility can be advantageous for players across various positions, particularly attackers and midfielders.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable

Allow for a break-in period of a few training sessions. Adjust lacing to relieve pressure points. Ensure you have the correct size.

Traction is poor on the pitch

Ensure the boots are clean and free from mud or debris. Confirm you are playing on a firm ground (FG) pitch, as performance is optimized for this surface.

Upper material feels stiff

The Gripknit upper may require a short break-in period. Gently flex the boots manually to help soften the material.
