FAQs
Can I use these on artificial grass?

Are the studs replaceable?
Yes, the SGLITE hexagonal studs are removable and can be replaced if they become worn down.
How do I ensure a good fit?
The Primeknit upper is designed to be adaptive. Select your standard UK size; the material will naturally contour to your foot shape over the first few uses.
What is the primary benefit of the fold-over tongue?
Beyond the aesthetic tribute to football heritage, it provides a clean striking area for the ball, covering the laces to minimize interference.
Do I need a special tool to change the studs?

Troubleshooting
Studs keep coming loose during play.
Check the stud threads for debris. Ensure they are fully tightened using a standard football boot stud key.
Upper material has become stained from mud.
Use a soft brush and lukewarm water to gently scrub the affected area. Avoid high-heat drying, which can 'bake' stains into the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Stud Maintenance: Before your first match, ensure all SGLITE studs are tightened securely. Check them periodically throughout the season as they can loosen over time.
Surface Usage: These boots are strictly for soft, natural grass ground. Using them on hard ground or artificial grass may cause premature wear to the soleplate and could lead to injury due to excessive traction.
Cleaning: After play on soft ground, brush off excess mud while wet. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the Primeknit upper. Avoid submerging the boots or using harsh detergents.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the upper materials and adhesive bonds.
