FAQs
What type of surface are these boots best suited for?
These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) football pitches, which are typically wet or muddy natural grass surfaces.
How do I clean the boots?
After use, brush off excess mud with a soft brush and wipe with a damp cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
Are the studs replaceable?
Yes, the boots feature removable hexagonal studs, allowing for replacement and maintenance.
What is the benefit of the fold-over tongue?
The fold-over tongue creates a larger, cleaner striking surface, which is designed to improve accuracy and power when kicking the ball.
Is the fit adjustable?
Yes, the boots have a regular fit with a lace closure, and the HybridTouch upper and PRIMEKNIT technology provide an adaptive, snug feel.
Can I use these boots on artificial grass?
These boots are optimized for soft ground. Using them on artificial grass or firm ground may cause excessive wear and reduce performance and traction.
What is the 'Powerspine' technology?
Powerspine technology is integrated into the boot's sole to enhance energy transfer, allowing for more powerful shots.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure the laces are loosened before putting on the boots. The HybridTouch upper and PRIMEKNIT technology are designed to adapt; wear them for short periods initially to break them in.
Lack of traction on soft ground.
Confirm that the correct SG Lite hexagonal studs are installed and securely fastened. Ensure the studs are clean and free from mud. If playing on slightly firmer ground, consider if a different stud type might be more appropriate (though these are designed specifically for SG).
Fold-over tongue shifts during play.
Adjust the tongue and secure it properly with the laces. Some players find tucking the tongue under the laces before tightening provides a more stable fit.
Waterlogging or material degradation.
Avoid submerging the boots in water. Clean and air dry them thoroughly after use, especially after playing in wet conditions. Store them away from direct heat.
