FAQs
Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?
No, these are firm ground (FG) boots designed for natural grass pitches. Using them on artificial grass may cause excessive wear and potentially injury.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
A correct fit should feel snug but not painful. Your toes should be near the end of the boot without being cramped, and the heel should not lift excessively when you walk or run.
What does 'floating tongue' mean?
The floating tongue is designed to stay in place and provide a more secure, adaptable fit, making it easier to step into the boot and adjust the lockdown.
Will the lacquer wear on the sole affect my performance?
No, the wear of the lacquer finish is purely cosmetic and does not affect the grip, stability, or overall performance of the boot.
How often should I clean my football boots?
It's best to clean your boots after every use to remove dirt and prolong their life. Allow them to air dry naturally.
What is the main benefit of the Nanostrike+ upper?
The Nanostrike+ upper combines a lightweight mesh with integrated rubber grip elements to enhance ball control and improve striking accuracy.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure laces are not over-tightened. Try adjusting the floating tongue position. Wear with appropriate football socks and allow for a break-in period.
Traction feels inadequate on the pitch.
Confirm you are using the boots on the intended firm ground surface. Clean any mud or debris from the studs. Note that stud wear over time can affect traction.
Lacquer finish on soleplate is peeling.
This is a cosmetic effect of normal play and does not impact the boot's performance or structural integrity. Continue to use as intended.
Material appears discolored after use.
Minor discoloration can occur due to pitch conditions and cleaning. Ensure proper cleaning methods are followed to minimize this effect.
