FAQs

What does 'EQT' stand for?

EQT stands for 'Equipment', referring to a line of adidas sportswear originally launched in 1991, known for its technical innovation and distinctive design.

Are these boots suitable for players who strike the ball hard?

Yes, the Powerspine technology provides midfoot stability for stronger shots, and the Nanostrike+ upper enhances striking precision.

Can I use these boots on artificial grass?

No, these are Firm Ground (FG) boots and are not recommended for artificial grass due to the stud design, which can cause discomfort or injury.

How often should I clean my boots?

It is recommended to clean your boots after every use with a damp cloth and brush to remove dirt and maintain their condition.

Will the lacquer wear affect the boot's performance?

No, the product information states that the lacquer finish wearing off is cosmetic and will not affect the performance of the product.

What is the benefit of the floating tongue?

The floating tongue allows for easier step-in access and provides adjustability for a more personalized and secure fit.

Are these boots heavy?

The Nanostrike+ upper is designed to be lightweight, combining mesh with rubber grip elements for a balance of performance and comfort.

Troubleshooting

Lacquer finish on soleplate wearing off

This is a cosmetic change and does not affect the performance or structural integrity of the boot. Continue to use as normal.

Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable

Loosen the laces and adjust the floating tongue. Ensure you are using the correct size. Break-in period may be required for optimal comfort.

Poor traction on wet grass

These boots are designed for firm ground. Traction may be reduced on wet or muddy pitches. Consider a different boot model with appropriate stud configuration for such conditions.

Rubber grip elements feel less effective over time

Ensure the upper is clean and free from mud or debris. Persistent reduction in grip may indicate normal wear and tear; consider replacement if performance is significantly impacted.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced striking precision due to Nanostrike+ upper with rubber grip elements.
  • Improved traction and rotational agility on firm ground pitches thanks to the Strikeframe soleplate and 'fang' studs.
  • Comfortable and secure fit with the Primeknit collar and floating tongue.
  • Stylish retro design with a nod to the iconic 90s Equipment line.
  • Midfoot stability for more powerful shots via Powerspine technology.
  • Made with a portion of recycled materials.

Cons

  • The lacquer finish on the soleplate may wear off during play.
  • Firm ground studs are not suitable for artificial or soft ground pitches.
  • Floating tongue design might require slight adjustment for some users.
  • While durable, rubber grip elements can be subject to wear over extensive use.
  • Limited to specific playing surfaces (firm ground only).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These boots feature a lace closure system with a floating tongue for easy entry and customizable fit. Ensure the laces are tied securely but not overly tight to allow the Primeknit collar to function effectively.

Compatibility: The 'FG' (Firm Ground) designation means these boots are designed exclusively for use on firm, natural grass pitches. They are not suitable for artificial grass, hard ground, or wet, muddy surfaces, as the stud configuration can lead to discomfort or injury on inappropriate surfaces.

Care: After each use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents. Store in a cool, dry place.
