FAQs
Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?
No, these are firm-ground (FG) boots designed specifically for natural grass. Using them on artificial surfaces can cause excessive wear to the studs.
How do I maintain the synthetic upper?
Wipe it down with a damp cloth after use to remove dirt. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could degrade the material.
What does the 'Deadly Strike' combination do?
It combines the 'Shooting Brake' for superior plant-foot stability and the 'Power Unit' for better energy return when striking the ball.
Is the fit true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing for football boots, but synthetic materials do not stretch as much as leather, so ensure a comfortable fit from the start.
Can these be washed in a machine?
No, never wash football boots in a washing machine, as the heat and agitation can damage the structural integrity and the bond between the sole and upper.
Troubleshooting
Accumulated mud reducing traction
Use a specialized boot brush or a stiff-bristled brush to clear out the gaps between the studs after every game.
Stiff feel during initial wear
Wear the boots during light training sessions for 20-30 minutes to help the synthetic upper contour to the shape of your foot before a full competitive match.
Laces coming undone during play
Ensure the laces are pulled tight through the eyelets and use a double knot for extra security during high-intensity movements.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, verify the field conditions before use; these boots are designated as 'Firm Ground' (FG), meaning they are intended for natural grass. Avoid using them on artificial grass (AG) or indoor surfaces, as this can lead to premature stud wear and potential ankle strain.
Care Instructions:
- After each match, remove mud or debris using a soft brush.
- Wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth; avoid submerging the boots in water.
- Allow the boots to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated space, away from direct sunlight or heaters, which can damage the synthetic materials and glue.
- Ensure laces are tied securely to maintain the intended support structure of the low-cut design.
