Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Loosen the laces fully before putting on the boots. This ensures your foot slides in easily and prevents undue stress on the material.
- Using Pull Tabs: Utilize the dual pull tabs on the tongue and heel to comfortably guide your foot into the boot. This is particularly helpful for a snug fit.
- Adjusting Fit: Once your foot is fully in, tighten the laces evenly from bottom to top, ensuring a secure yet comfortable fit around your foot. Avoid overtightening to prevent discomfort.
Compatibility
These boots feature an FG/MG (Firm Ground/Multi-Ground) soleplate, making them compatible with:
- Natural Grass Pitches: Ideal for firm, natural grass surfaces.
- Artificial Grass Pitches: Suitable for various types of artificial turf. The versatile stud configuration balances grip and comfort across these surfaces.
Care
Proper care extends the lifespan and performance of your boots:
- Cleaning After Use: Immediately after each game or training, remove excess mud and debris from the soleplate and upper. Use a soft brush or cloth for mud, and a damp cloth for light dirt.
- Drying: *Always* air dry your boots at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, or tumble dryers, as excessive heat can damage the synthetic materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place. Using a boot bag can protect them during transport and storage.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents or solvents for cleaning, as these can degrade the NIKESKIN synthetic material.
