FAQs

What does 'FG' stand for on these boots?

'FG' stands for Firm Ground. These boots are designed for use on natural grass pitches that are firm, typically dry or slightly damp.

How does the Zoom Air unit benefit my game?

The Zoom Air unit is an underfoot cushioning system that provides exceptional energy return with every step. It flexes with your foot, helping you feel more explosive during sprints and quick changes of direction.

Can I use these boots on artificial grass (AG)?

It is not recommended. FG boots are designed for natural grass and using them on artificial surfaces can lead to reduced performance, uneven stud wear, and potential injury.

How do I clean the Vaporposite+ upper?

Wipe the upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or soaking the boots, as this can damage the materials.

What is the purpose of the Speed Cage lining?

The Speed Cage lining is a thin yet strong internal structure that provides lightweight, adaptive support to your foot, ensuring it stays locked in during dynamic movements without adding bulk.

Are these boots suitable for players with wide feet?

The refined central lacing system is designed to accommodate a wider range of foot shapes, offering improved entry and a more customizable fit.

How does ACC technology help?

All Conditions Control (ACC) is a technology applied to the upper material that provides a consistent touch and feel on the ball in both wet and dry conditions.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Allow for a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase duration. The refined lacing system can be adjusted to accommodate different foot shapes.

Traction feels insufficient on a particular pitch.

Ensure the pitch conditions match the boot's intended use (firm ground). If the pitch is wet or muddy, consider using a different type of boot designed for those conditions.

Mud and debris clogging the studs.

Clean the studs thoroughly with a soft brush or a damp cloth after every use to maintain optimal traction and prevent damage.

Visible wear and tear after a few games.

Inspect the boots for any manufacturing defects. If the wear is excessive and unusual for the number of uses, contact customer support. Ensure you are using them on appropriate surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These are firm ground (FG) football boots. They are designed for use on natural grass pitches that are slightly wet to dry. Ensure you have the correct size by trying them on with your usual football socks.

Compatibility: Primarily compatible with firm natural grass pitches. Not recommended for artificial grass, hard ground, or very wet/muddy pitches, as this can lead to reduced performance and potential damage to the studs.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, remove excess mud with a soft brush. Wipe the boots with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Stuff the boots with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture and help them retain their shape. Air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Never put them in a washing machine or tumble dryer.
  3. Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, to protect them from dust and damage.
