FAQs
What playing surfaces are these trainers suitable for?
These trainers are specifically designed for optimal performance on turf, artificial grass, and hard ground surfaces. Their pimpled rubber sole is engineered for superior traction on these non-natural grass pitches.
How should I clean the full grain leather upper?
After each use, wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For deeper cleaning and to maintain the leather's condition, use a specialized leather cleaner and apply a leather conditioner periodically. Allow them to air dry completely.
Do these trainers need to be 'broken in'?
Yes, due to the full grain leather construction, a short break-in period is often beneficial. This allows the leather to soften and mold to the unique contours of your foot, enhancing the 'glove-like fit' and overall comfort.
What is the purpose of the Diecut EVA inlay?
The Diecut EVA inlay is designed to provide lightweight cushioning and comfort. It helps absorb impact, reducing foot fatigue and allowing for more comfortable play over longer durations.
How durable is the toe area?
The trainers feature extra reinforced toe protection, specifically designed to enhance durability in this high-impact area. This helps to extend the lifespan of the trainers, especially during frequent ball striking.
Are these trainers waterproof?
While the leather offers some natural resistance to light moisture, these trainers are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions may saturate the leather. Regular conditioning can help improve their water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Fit feels too tight or uncomfortable initially.
Leather trainers often require a short break-in period to mold to your foot for the best 'glove-like fit'. Wear them for short, light periods initially to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot's shape.
Sole losing grip or traction on playing surfaces.
Ensure the pimpled rubber sole is clean from mud, turf pellets, or other debris. Regular cleaning of the sole with a brush and water can maintain optimal traction. Check for excessive wear on the pimples, which might indicate it's time for a replacement.
Leather upper appears dry, stiff, or is starting to crack.
This is a sign of dehydration. Clean the leather upper with a damp cloth after use and apply a suitable leather conditioner or cream regularly. This will help keep the leather supple, prevent drying, and extend the lifespan of your trainers. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme heat.

Simply lace them up to achieve your preferred snugness, utilizing the traditional centre lacing for a secure, 'glove-like' fit. These trainers are highly compatible with turf, artificial, and hard ground surfaces, offering optimal performance on these non-natural grass playing fields. For proper care, it is essential to look after the full grain leather upper. After each use, wipe down the trainers with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.

Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the leather and structural integrity of the trainers.
