FAQs

Can I use these boots on artificial grass?

No, these are SG Pro boots designed specifically for soft, natural ground. Using them on artificial turf can cause premature wear and may increase the risk of injury.

What is the benefit of Gripknit?

Gripknit is a weather-resistant, sticky yarn layer that provides a consistent touch on the ball regardless of whether the pitch is wet or dry.

How should I clean my boots?

Clean them with a damp cloth or a soft-bristled brush. Do not machine wash or use abrasive detergents.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The Vapor series is typically designed with a streamlined, athletic fit. If you have very wide feet, you may find the compression-like fit quite snug.

Does the Zoom Air unit need maintenance?

The Zoom Air unit is sealed within the soleplate and requires no maintenance, but you should avoid stepping on sharp debris that could puncture the area.

Troubleshooting

Accumulated mud reducing traction

Use a specialized boot cleaning brush to clear the gaps between the wave studs after every game.

Studs feeling loose

Use a standard stud key to manually tighten any removable components on the SG soleplate.

Pros and Cons

  • Excellent energy return from the Zoom Air unit
  • Lightweight construction reduces foot fatigue
  • Consistent control in various weather conditions thanks to Gripknit
  • Optimized for reliable traction on soft ground

  • Not suitable for hard ground or artificial grass
  • High-performance design may require a break-in period for some users
  • Specific maintenance required for soft-ground studs

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure peak performance, verify your pitch conditions before use, as the SG Pro configuration is strictly intended for natural, soft-ground surfaces. Regularly check that your studs are tightened before matches to prevent loss or instability. After use, remove mud using a soft brush or damp cloth to prevent the material from drying out or damaging the Gripknit layer. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or putting the boots in a washing machine, as this can compromise the specialized bonding of the three-layer upper and the internal cushioning systems. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
