Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Simply put on the boots, ensuring your socks are smooth and crease-free. Lace them up securely, but not overly tight, to allow for natural foot movement and blood circulation. The Flyknit collar is designed for a snug fit, and it will mold to your ankle over time.
Compatibility
These boots are specifically engineered with an AG (Artificial Grass) soleplate. This means they are designed to perform optimally and last longer on modern artificial turf surfaces. Using them on natural grass (FG) or harder ground (HG) may damage the studs, compromise traction, and potentially void any warranty. Always check the pitch type before use.
Care
Proper care extends the lifespan and maintains the performance of your Phantom GX II Elite AG Pro boots:
- Clean After Each Use: Immediately after playing, knock off any loose turf granules or dirt. Use a soft brush and water to gently scrub off stubborn grime from the upper and soleplate. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning agents.
- Rinse Soleplate: Pay special attention to cleaning between the studs of the Cyclone 360 soleplate to prevent debris buildup that can hinder performance.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials and cause cracking or shrinkage.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag to protect them from dust and damage. Avoid storing them in damp or humid environments.
- Deodorize: If odor becomes an issue, use boot deodorizers or stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and neutralize smells.
