FAQs
How do I clean the Fibertouch upper?
Use a damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a clean damp cloth. Always air dry afterwards.
Are these boots suitable for all positions?
Yes, their design emphasizes speed, agility, and ball control, making them suitable for dynamic players in various positions, particularly wingers, forwards, and attacking midfielders.
What is the main advantage of the laceless design?
The primary advantage is a larger, uninterrupted surface area for ball striking, leading to cleaner contact and potentially more power and accuracy. It also offers a very streamlined, locked-in feel.
Can I use these boots on a hard indoor court?
The Sprintframe 360 outsole is designed for FG/AG. It is not ideal for hard indoor courts, which typically require non-marking, flat-soled shoes.
How does the PRIMEKNIT collar provide support?
The elasticated, adaptive material molds to the shape of your ankle, offering a secure, sock-like fit that helps prevent slippage and provides a degree of ankle support without restricting movement.
What does 'Lamine Yamal details' refer to?
These are specific design elements on the boot that are inspired by the professional football player Lamine Yamal, adding a unique aesthetic and a connection to his playing style.
How do I ensure the best fit with a laceless boot?
A snug fit is crucial. The PRIMEKNIT collar should feel secure around the ankle. Ensure there are no pressure points or excessive movement of your foot within the boot.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or loose due to laceless design.
Ensure the PRIMEKNIT collar is properly seated. Try different sock thicknesses. For initial adjustment, wear for short periods.
Traction is poor on wet surfaces.
The FG/AG outsole is optimized for specific conditions. Avoid use on very wet or muddy pitches where deeper studs might be required.
Upper material feels delicate.
The Fibertouch upper is designed for lightness and ball feel. Avoid abrasive contact with rough surfaces to maintain its integrity.
Difficulty putting boots on.
Gently pull the PRIMEKNIT collar to expand it. Ensure your heel is aligned correctly when sliding your foot in.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly; the PRIMEKNIT collar should feel supportive but not constricting.
Compatibility: The Sprintframe 360 outsole is designed for use on firm ground (FG) and artificial grass (AG). It is not recommended for use on hard, natural surfaces or very soft, muddy pitches.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the boots.
- Drying: Air dry the boots 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 in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
