FAQs

Can I use these boots on artificial grass?

These are designed specifically for Firm Ground (FG). While they may work on some artificial surfaces, it is not recommended as it will cause premature wear and may affect the warranty.

How should the fit feel?

They feature a regular fit with a Primeknit collar. You should aim for a snug, secure sensation without restrictive pressure points.

Does the foldover tongue get in the way?

No, the updated tongue features a strap that ensures it remains securely in place, providing a clean strike zone without flapping during movement.

Are these suitable for all weather conditions?

They perform best in dry to damp conditions. Avoid using them in heavy mud as it can saturate the materials and make the boots significantly heavier.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper uses HybridTouch, a next-gen synthetic suede and foil combination engineered for support and comfort.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too stiff initially

The HybridTouch upper will soften with use. Wear them during warm-ups or light drills for several sessions to break in the materials.

Loss of traction

Check the soleplate for clogged grass or debris between the studs. Clean the area thoroughly to ensure the studs maintain proper ground contact.

Visible wear on the soleplate finish

This is normal cosmetic wear due to the lacquer finish. It does not indicate structural failure and will not affect the boot's performance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior ball grip and swerve control via Strikeskin fins
  • Lightweight HybridTouch construction for enhanced responsiveness
  • Secure lockdown with the integrated foldover tongue design
  • Excellent traction on firm ground surfaces

Cons

  • Lacquer finish on the soleplate is cosmetic and will wear off over time
  • Premium technology may require an adjustment period for some players
  • Best suited strictly for firm natural grass surfaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal longevity, these boots are designed specifically for Firm Ground (FG) surfaces. Using them on artificial grass or abrasive turf can significantly accelerate wear on the soleplate.

  1. Break-in: While the HybridTouch upper is comfortable, wear them during a few light training sessions to allow the Primeknit collar to mold to your ankle shape.
  2. Cleaning: After play, brush off excess mud and dirt using a soft-bristled brush. Wipe down the upper with a damp cloth; avoid submerging them in water or using harsh cleaning agents that could damage the suede-like material.
  3. Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Never place boots near a direct heat source, such as a radiator or a dryer, as this can crack the synthetic upper and compromise the soleplate adhesives.
  4. Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight when not in use to maintain material integrity.
