Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight
Loosen the laces, particularly around the midfoot, and re-lace for a more comfortable fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate football socks during fitting.
Traction issues on the pitch
Verify that the boots are being used on the intended firm ground surface. Clean any mud or debris from the studs, as blockages can affect grip.
Discomfort from the fold-over tongue
Experiment with different ways of folding or securing the tongue. Some players may prefer to wear it unfolded if the design allows and provides comfort.
Wear and tear on the upper
Inspect the boots regularly for signs of damage. Avoid using them on inappropriate surfaces which can accelerate wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Unbox the boots and remove any packaging.
Ensure the fold-over tongue is positioned comfortably before lacing up.
Lace the boots securely, adjusting for a snug but not overly tight fit.
Not Recommended: Wet, muddy pitches or artificial turf, as the stud configuration may not provide adequate traction and could lead to slippage or damage.
Care:
Cleaning: After each use, gently brush off excess dirt and mud with a soft brush or dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources such as radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, away from direct sunlight.
