FAQs
What type of playing surface are these boots best suited for?

How does the `HybridTouch` upper improve my game?

What is the function of the `Strikeskin` grip elements?
The `Strikeskin` elements are refined rubber fins that provide superior purchase on the ball, allowing for greater precision and increased swerve when striking.
Is the foldover tongue purely aesthetic, or does it serve a purpose?

Troubleshooting
Poor grip on soft ground.
Ensure the pitch is indeed soft ground. Check that all studs are clean and free of mud buildup. Verify that no studs are missing or excessively worn.
Reduced ball control or swerve.
Clean the `Strikeskin` rubber fins on the upper thoroughly to ensure they can grip the ball effectively. Ensure the `HybridTouch` upper is clean and free of debris that might interfere with ball contact.
Boots feel uncomfortable or too tight.
Re-lace the boots ensuring even tension. Allow for a short break-in period if they are new. Ensure you have the correct size for a regular fit. The foldover tongue should be secured but not overly tight.
Tongue constantly moves or feels loose.
Ensure the strap on the foldover tongue is securely fastened. Adjust lacing to provide better overall stability and reduce tongue movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure the laces are tightened evenly from toe to ankle. The lace closure system is designed for a snug, personalized fit.
- Tongue Adjustment: Position the foldover tongue securely over the laces, utilizing the strap to keep it in place. This ensures a clean striking surface and an integrated feel.
- Initial Wear: Wear the boots for a short period before a full game to allow them to conform to your foot shape. While designed for comfort, a brief break-in can optimize fit.
Compatibility
- Ground Type: These boots are exclusively designed for Soft Ground (SG) pitches. This includes natural grass fields that are wet or muddy, where longer, conical studs are necessary for grip. Using them on firm ground (FG) or artificial grass (AG) can reduce performance, increase wear, and potentially lead to injury.
- Age/Gender: Suitable for adult players. The design is unisex.
- Fit: Regular fit. Select your standard UK shoe size for the best experience.
Care
- Cleaning After Use: Immediately after each use, remove loose mud and dirt using a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Washing: For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and warm water with a soft cloth. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can cause materials to crack or shrink.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Stud Maintenance: Regularly check the hybrid studs for wear and tear. Replace any damaged studs to maintain optimal traction and prevent injury.
