Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable during wear.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate football socks. Try adjusting the lacing system to provide a more customized fit. If discomfort persists, the boots may not be the correct size or shape for your foot. Consider trying a different size or width if available.
Reduced traction on the pitch.
Check that the studs are clean and free from debris. Ensure you are playing on the intended surface (firm natural grass). If playing on a slightly worn pitch, try to maintain a balanced stance during quick movements.
Knitted collar feels restrictive.
Ensure the lacing is not over-tightened around the ankle area. The offset instep zone is designed to relieve pressure, but individual fit can vary. Allow a break-in period for the collar to adapt to your foot's natural movement.
Upper materials show signs of wear after limited use.
This may indicate playing on unsuitable surfaces (e.g., artificial turf or hard ground). Ensure the boots are used only on firm, natural grass as intended. Regular cleaning and proper drying can also help maintain material integrity.

Exceptional ball control and feel due to microfibre upper with deboss channels.
Secure and comfortable fit provided by the knitted collar and ergonomic design.
Enhanced stability and traction for quick directional changes with Rim Stud Technology.
Comfortable cushioning to reduce impact during play.
Sustainable materials used in construction.
Cons
Firm ground (FG) stud configuration is best suited for natural grass and may not perform optimally on artificial turf.
The lightweight design might offer less protection against heavy tackles compared to more robust boots.

Sizing may vary, recommending a trial or checking size guides carefully.
The pink and gold colourway may not appeal to all players.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Initial Fit: Put on the boots with clean, dry football socks. Ensure the foot is seated correctly within the boot, with the heel fully back.
Lacing: Lace the boots evenly, starting from the bottom eyelets and working upwards. Avoid over-tightening, which can restrict blood flow, or under-tightening, which can lead to slippage.
Knitted Collar: Ensure the knitted collar conforms comfortably around the ankle for a secure yet flexible fit.
Compatibility:
These are Firm Ground (FG) football boots. They are designed primarily for use on natural grass pitches that are well-maintained and not excessively wet or muddy.
They are not recommended for use on artificial grass (AG), hard ground, or very wet/muddy conditions, as the stud pattern may not provide optimal traction and could increase the risk of injury or excessive wear.
Care:
Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt and mud using a soft brush or damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
Drying: Stuff the boots with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture and help them retain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid drying near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, to protect them from dust and moisture when not in use.
