Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure boots are laced securely but not overly tight. Start lacing from the bottom eyelets and work your way up, ensuring even tension. You may need to experiment with lacing patterns to find the most comfortable and secure fit for your foot shape.
- Break-in: While the `adaptive mesh and knit upper` offers immediate comfort, a short break-in period during light training sessions is recommended to fully conform the boots to your feet.
Compatibility
These boots are specifically designed for:
- Firm Ground (FG): Natural grass pitches that are firm and dry.
- Artificial Ground (AG): Modern synthetic turf pitches. The stud pattern is optimized to provide traction and reduce pressure on these surfaces.
Note: These boots are not recommended for use on soft ground (SG), extremely hard ground, or indoor court surfaces, as this can lead to poor performance, potential injury, or damage to the boots.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your boots:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe off dirt and mud using a damp cloth or soft brush. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper helps absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Inspection: Regularly check studs for wear or damage. Replace boots if studs are excessively worn or if the soleplate or upper shows significant damage.
