Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
To prepare your new boots for play:
- Ensure you have the correct size for a snug but comfortable fit. UK 11 is the size for this specific pair.
- Lace them up securely, ensuring the ADIKNIT sock component provides a firm lockdown around your ankle without being restrictive.
- Wear them for a short period before a full game to allow them to mold to your foot.
Compatibility
These boots are specifically engineered for soft ground (SG) pitches. This includes natural grass fields that are wet, muddy, or have a deeper turf. Using them on hard ground, artificial turf (AG/FG), or indoor surfaces can damage the studs, reduce traction, and potentially cause injury. Always match your boot type to the playing surface.
Care Instructions
Proper care extends the life and performance of your boots:
- After Each Use: Remove excess mud and debris using a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing that could damage the material.
- Cleaning: Wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Rinse with clean water and wipe dry. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can cause materials to crack or shrink.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with newspaper stuffed inside to absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Studs: Regularly check the studs for wear and tear, especially if they are detachable. Ensure they are clean and securely fastened.
