FAQs
What is the main advantage of the fold-over tongue?
The fold-over tongue creates a larger, smoother, and cleaner surface area for striking the ball, which can improve accuracy and power when shooting.
Can these boots be used on artificial grass?
These boots are designed for firm ground (FG) pitches, typically natural grass. While they might be usable on some AG (Artificial Grass) surfaces, performance and durability are not guaranteed, and they are not optimized for it. It's best to use boots specifically designed for AG.
How do I clean the synthetic upper?
Wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Allow the boots to air dry completely afterwards.
What age group are these boots intended for?
These boots are specifically designed for kids ('kids' age group) and are part of the junior range.
Are these boots suitable for wet or muddy conditions?
No, these firm ground boots are best suited for dry, firm pitches. They are not ideal for wet or muddy conditions where a different stud configuration would offer better traction.
How can I ensure a secure fit?
Utilize the lace-up closure system. Tie the laces tightly enough to feel secure and prevent excessive foot movement within the boot, but not so tight that it causes discomfort.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring a snug but not overly constrictive fit. If discomfort persists after breaking in, consider if the size is appropriate or if the specific fit of this model suits your foot shape.
Traction feels poor on the pitch
Ensure you are using the boots on the intended firm ground surface. Check that the studs are free from mud or debris. For very soft or wet ground, consider if an alternative boot with different stud configurations might be more suitable.
Fold-over tongue doesn't stay in place
Ensure the tongue is folded neatly and securely over the laces. Some players find that tucking the lace ends under the tongue helps keep it in position. If the elastic or lacing system for the tongue has stretched, it may require professional assessment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the boots are the correct size for a comfortable fit.
Lace up the boots securely using the provided laces, adjusting for tightness based on personal preference and activity.
Fold the tongue over the laces as intended for optimal striking surface.
Compatibility:
These boots are designed for Firm Ground (FG) surfaces. This includes natural grass pitches that are dry and firm.
They are not recommended for use on artificial grass, indoor courts, or very wet/muddy pitches, as the stud configuration may not provide adequate traction or could lead to excessive wear.
Care:
Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or a dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the boots.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag, to maintain their shape and material integrity.
