FAQs
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
The boots feature a 'Regular fit'. While they can stretch slightly with wear, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them restrictive without a proper break-in period. Trying them on or checking reviews specifically mentioning fit for wider feet is recommended.
Can I use these on indoor artificial pitches (turf)?
The Controlplate outsole is designed for FG/MG (Firm Ground/Multi-Ground), which typically includes artificial grass. However, for very specific indoor artificial turf with shorter fibers, a dedicated turf (TF) shoe might offer superior grip. These should perform adequately on most standard AG surfaces.
How durable is the Hybridfeel upper?
The Hybridfeel upper is designed for performance and ball feel. Its durability is generally good for its intended use in football matches and training. Proper care, as outlined in the guide, will help maximize its lifespan.
What is the main advantage of the Strikescale elements?
The Strikescale elements on the upper are designed to increase friction between the boot and the ball, providing enhanced grip for more precise control during dribbling, passing, and shooting.
How do I know if I have the right size?
A proper fit means there should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the boot when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should feel snug but not uncomfortably tight.
What is the difference between FG and AG on the outsole?
FG (Firm Ground) is for natural grass pitches that are not excessively wet or muddy. AG (Artificial Grass) is for synthetic turf pitches. The Controlplate outsole is designed to provide effective traction on both types.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable after initial wear.
This is common with new football boots. Wear them for short durations during light training or around the house to gradually break them in. Ensure laces are adjusted for comfort, not overtightening.
Traction seems poor on a specific pitch type.
Verify that the pitch is within the intended FG/AG compatibility. If playing on very soft or muddy ground, consider a different type of boot. Clean any debris from the outsole studs.
Laces fraying or breaking.
Replace laces with standard athletic shoelaces of a similar length. Consider waxed laces for better grip and durability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the boots are the correct size and laced securely using the provided closure system for a snug fit. It is recommended to wear these boots for a short period during training sessions to allow them to break in and adapt to the shape of your feet.
Compatibility: The Controlplate outsole is designed for Firm Ground (FG) and Artificial Grass (AG). Avoid using these boots on very hard, wet, or muddy grounds, as this can damage the studs and reduce their effectiveness.
Care: After use, clean the boots with a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Store them in a cool, dry place.
