FAQs

Are these boots suitable for natural grass pitches?

These boots are specifically designed for Artificial Grass (TF) pitches. While they may offer some grip on other surfaces, their performance and durability are optimized for TF.

How do I clean the synthetic material?

Wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth after removing excess dirt with a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

What is the benefit of the fold-over tongue?

The fold-over tongue can provide a cleaner surface for striking the ball, potentially improving accuracy and power, and also offers a customizable aesthetic.

How long will these boots typically last?

The lifespan depends on usage frequency, playing surface, and care. The durable synthetic upper and rubber outsole are designed for regular play on artificial turf.

Can I wear these for indoor football?

These boots feature a rubber outsole designed for turf and are not recommended for indoor courts, which typically require non-marking gum soles.

What does 'Powerstrike technology' do?

Powerstrike technology is integrated into the boot's design to help players generate more power and accuracy when shooting the ball.

Troubleshooting

Traction issues on artificial turf.

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free of debris. Worn-out studs can also reduce grip; consider replacement if heavily used.

Discomfort during initial wear.

Synthetic materials often require a break-in period. Wear the boots for short periods initially and gradually increase duration. Ensure laces are adjusted for a snug but not overly tight fit.

Difficulty with the fold-over tongue.

Experiment with different ways of positioning the tongue during lacing to find what feels most comfortable and provides the best striking surface.

Synthetic upper feels stiff.

This is normal for synthetic materials. Continued use and light flexing will help soften the material over time. Avoid excessive bending or creasing when storing.

  • Comfortable fit with textile sockliner.

Cons

  • Synthetic material may require a break-in period.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the laces are tied securely to achieve the desired fit. The fold-over tongue can be positioned according to player preference.

Compatibility: Primarily designed for Artificial Grass (TF) pitches. Performance on natural grass, indoor courts, or other surfaces may be compromised.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: After use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush. Wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag, to maintain their shape and condition.
