FAQs
What type of playing surface are these boots suitable for?
These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches, which are typically natural grass fields that are wet or muddy.
How do the 'Strikescale elements' improve my game?
The Strikescale elements are refined grip textures on the upper that provide enhanced purchase on the ball, allowing for greater precision, swerve, and overall control when striking or passing.
What is the benefit of the 'Fold-Over Tongue'?
The fold-over tongue provides a clean, smooth striking surface by covering the laces, which can help improve ball contact and deliver a more consistent touch. It also contributes to a secure and integrated fit.
Can I use these boots on artificial turf or firm ground?
No, these boots are not recommended for artificial turf (AG) or firm ground (FG) surfaces. Using them on unsuitable surfaces can damage the soleplate, compromise performance, and may void the product warranty.
How should I clean and care for my boots?
After use, remove excess mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. Hand wash with mild soap and water if needed. Always air dry at room temperature away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Store in a cool, dry place.
Are these boots made with sustainable materials?
Yes, these boots are made in part with recycled materials, reflecting a commitment to reducing environmental impact.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable during play.
Ensure you have the correct size. Allow for a break-in period by wearing the boots for shorter durations during training. The HybridFeel upper is designed to adapt to your foot over time.
Loss of grip or slipping on soft ground.
Verify that you are playing on appropriate soft ground conditions. Clean the ControlPlate 2.0 soleplate and studs thoroughly after each use to prevent mud buildup that can reduce traction. Ensure studs are not excessively worn.
Difficulty achieving desired swerve or precision on shots.
Practice using the Strikescale elements on the upper. Ensure the fold-over tongue is properly secured to provide a clean striking surface. Consistent practice will help you utilize the boot's features effectively.
Boots appear damaged or worn prematurely.
Ensure the boots are only used on their intended soft ground surfaces. Avoid using them on hard or abrasive surfaces like concrete or artificial turf. Follow proper cleaning and drying instructions to maintain material integrity.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure the laces are tightened evenly from toe to ankle for a snug, secure fit. The lace closure works with the fold-over tongue to provide a clean striking area.
- Initial Wear: Wear the boots for short periods during training sessions to allow them to mold to your feet. This 'break-in' period helps achieve optimal comfort and performance.
Compatibility
- Ground Type: These boots are exclusively designed for soft ground (SG) pitches. This includes natural grass fields that are wet, muddy, or require longer, conical studs for grip.
- Avoid Other Surfaces: Do not use these boots on firm ground (FG), artificial grass (AG), or indoor surfaces. Using them on inappropriate surfaces can damage the soleplate and studs, void warranty, and compromise performance and safety.
Care
- Cleaning After Use: Immediately after playing, remove excess mud and dirt using a soft brush or a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Washing: If necessary, hand wash with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing, as it can damage the materials and construction.
- Drying: Air dry the boots at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct sunlight or use artificial heat sources (e.g., radiators, hairdryers), as this can cause materials to shrink, crack, or become brittle.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Consider using boot trees or stuffing with newspaper to help maintain their shape.
- Stud Maintenance: Regularly check the studs for wear and tear, especially if they are replaceable. Ensure they are clean and free from debris to maintain optimal traction.
