Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup:
These football boots are designed for immediate use. Ensure you select the correct UK size for a snug, performance-oriented fit. The accommodating lace closure allows for adjustment to personal preference.
Compatibility:
The FG (Firm Ground) designation indicates these boots are optimized for use on *natural grass pitches that are dry or slightly wet*. They are not recommended for artificial grass (AG), hard ground, or very wet/muddy conditions, as the stud pattern may not provide adequate traction or could lead to excessive wear.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After use, remove excess dirt and mud using a soft brush or a dry cloth. For tougher grime, use a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Never dry them using direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather and adhesives.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a breathable boot bag can help protect them and allow air circulation.
- Leather Care: Periodically, you may condition the TechLeather with a suitable leather conditioner to keep it supple and prevent cracking, especially with frequent use.
