FAQs

Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?

These boots are designed specifically for firm ground (natural grass) surfaces; using them on artificial grass can lead to excessive wear on the outsole.

How do I care for the fold-over tongue?

Keep the tongue clean and dry. Avoid folding or creasing it in ways that break the synthetic structure, and store the boots in a cool, dry place.

What is the primary benefit of the Strikeskin fins?

The fins increase the surface friction between the boot and the ball, allowing for more consistent spin and improved accuracy during shots and passes.

Can I remove the fold-over tongue?

No, the fold-over tongue is integrated into the design of the boot and should not be removed.

How should I clean the HybridTouch upper?

Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap if necessary. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could degrade the synthetic material.

What does the PRIMEKNIT collar do?

The collar provides a supportive, sock-like fit around the ankle, ensuring the boot moves with your foot to provide stability and comfort.

Troubleshooting

Accumulation of dirt on the Strikeskin fins

Use a soft-bristle brush to gently remove debris from between the fins after the mud has dried.

Feeling of slippage inside the boot

Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly across the bridge of the foot before securing the fold-over tongue.

Outsole losing traction

Check if the studs are worn down from playing on abrasive surfaces and verify you are only using the boots on suitable firm ground grass.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent ball control and spin assistance via Strikeskin technology
  • Secure and comfortable lockdown provided by the PRIMEKNIT collar
  • Enhanced stability on firm ground pitches
  • Classic fold-over tongue aesthetic combined with modern performance materials

Cons

  • Synthetic material requires regular cleaning to maintain grip quality
  • Performance is specifically optimized for firm ground surfaces
  • The fold-over tongue design may not suit players who prefer a traditional, thin-profile fit

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best fit, ensure you are wearing the appropriate football socks before trying on the boots to gauge the true volume of the PRIMEKNIT collar. These boots are intended for firm ground (FG) use; avoid wearing them on artificial turf or concrete surfaces to prevent premature outsole wear or stud breakage. After each use, wipe away excess mud and debris with a soft, damp cloth. Do not soak the boots in water or use a washing machine, as high heat and abrasive detergents can damage the HybridTouch upper and the bond of the Strikeskin fins. Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause the materials to stiffen.
