FAQs
Are these boots suitable for children with wide feet?
The Primeknit and HybridTouch upper offer an adaptive fit. While designed to be accommodating, players with significantly wide feet should try them on to ensure comfort. The lacing system allows for some adjustment.
How do I clean the synthetic and textile upper?
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Always air dry.
What is the main benefit of the fold-over tongue?
The fold-over tongue provides a larger, smoother surface area for striking the ball, which can help improve shot accuracy and power.
Can these boots be used on artificial grass pitches?
These are firm ground (FG) boots, optimized for dry, natural grass. They are not recommended for artificial turf, as the stud pattern may not provide adequate grip and could lead to discomfort or injury.
How does the Strikeframe plate help performance?
The Strikeframe plate is a lightweight, full-length soleplate that offers reliable traction on firm ground. This allows young players to accelerate quickly, change direction with confidence, and maintain stability when shooting.
What is the purpose of the Nanostrike Pro mesh?
The Nanostrike Pro mesh is designed for softness and lightness, with added tactile-feedback areas that help young players improve their striking precision and control.
How long does it typically take for these boots to break in?
Many players find that performance boots like these require a short break-in period. Wearing them for casual play or short training sessions initially can help them mold to the foot for optimal comfort and performance.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure laces are adjusted correctly, not tied too tightly. The Primeknit and HybridTouch upper may require a short break-in period. Try wearing them for short periods initially.
Traction feels insufficient on the pitch
Verify that the boots are being used on the intended firm ground, dry grass surface. Clean any mud or debris from the studs, as this can impair grip.
Fold-over tongue keeps slipping
Ensure the laces are tied securely over the tongue. Some players find tucking the tongue under the laces offers a more stable fit, depending on preference and boot fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
These boots are designed for immediate play upon purchase. Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets and tied securely for a snug fit. The fold-over tongue can be positioned as preferred, typically over the laces for a clean striking surface.
Compatibility:
These firm ground (FG) football boots are specifically designed for use on dry, natural grass pitches. They are not recommended for artificial turf, hard ground, or very wet conditions, as the stud configuration may not provide optimal traction and could increase the risk of injury.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt and mud using a soft brush or a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the boots in water.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them 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 damage and maintain their shape.
