Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure the boots are laced firmly but comfortably, starting from the toe and working up to the ankle. Double-knot for security during play.
- Initial Wear: Encourage your child to wear the boots for short periods around the house or during light activities before their first game to help break them in.
Compatibility
These boots are FG (Firm Ground) specific, meaning they are designed for use on natural grass pitches that are firm and dry. They are not recommended for use on artificial turf (AG) or soft/muddy pitches (SG), as this can reduce performance and accelerate wear.
Care
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the synthetic leather upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and mud. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush and mild soap can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Always allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the synthetic material.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, ideally with newspaper stuffed inside to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
- Inspection: Regularly check the studs for wear or damage. Worn studs can impact traction and safety.
