FAQs

What type of playing surface are these boots suitable for?

These are `Firm Ground (FG)` football boots, specifically designed for use on natural grass pitches that are firm and dry.

What is Hypoknit and what are its benefits?

`Hypoknit` is an engineered upper material featuring mapped full-gauge and half-gauge knit zones. It provides a superior, dual-textured foot-to-ball sensation, enhancing precision for both power and finesse strikes.

Is it normal for the lacquer on the sole to wear off?

Yes, it is entirely normal for the `lacquer finish` on the bottom of the soleplate to wear off during play. This is cosmetic and does not affect the boot's performance or lifespan.

How should I clean and care for my boots?

After each use, clean off mud with a damp cloth or soft brush. Air dry naturally away from direct heat. Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid harsh chemicals.

What does the 'additional stud' at the rearfoot do?

The `additional Speed Control Stud` is designed to provide enhanced ground control during sudden stops and sharp pivots, allowing for faster reactions and better stability during dynamic movements.

Are these boots suitable for wide feet?

While the `Hypoknit upper` offers some adaptability, specific information on wide-fit suitability is not provided. It's recommended to try them on for personal fit assessment.

Who endorses the Furon range?

The Furon range is endorsed by professional players such as Bukayo Saka, Sadio Mane, Michelle Cooper, and Eberechi Eze.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to relieve pressure points. Wear appropriate football socks.

Lack of grip on the pitch

Confirm you are playing on a firm natural grass surface. These FG boots are not designed for artificial turf or soft, muddy grounds, which can reduce traction.

Soleplate lacquer is peeling or wearing off

This is a normal cosmetic effect that occurs with play and does not impact the boot's performance, durability, or structural integrity.

Foot sliding inside the boot

Ensure laces are tied securely. The `infiniGRIP lining` is designed to prevent this, but check if your socks are too thin or if the boot size is slightly too large.

Setup, Compatibility & CareSetup:1. Lacing: Ensure laces are tied securely but comfortably. The `offset lacing` system allows for a larger strike zone; experiment with tightness to find your preferred lockdown.2. Break-in: While designed for immediate comfort, a short break-in period on a training pitch can help the boots mold perfectly to your feet.Compatibility:These boots are specifically `Firm Ground (FG)` football boots. They are designed for optimal performance, traction, and durability on natural grass pitches that are firm and dry. Using them on artificial turf (AG) or soft ground (SG) surfaces may lead to premature wear or reduced performance.Care:1. Cleaning: After each use, wipe off excess mud and dirt with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.2. Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not force dry them with heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the materials.3. Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.4. Lacquer Finish: Please note that the `lacquer finish` on the bottom of this boot may wear off during play. This is a normal cosmetic occurrence and will not affect the performance or structural integrity of the product.
