FAQs

What does 'FG' stand for on these boots?

'FG' stands for Firm Ground, indicating these boots are designed for use on natural grass pitches with minimal moisture.

How does the floating tongue feature work?

The floating tongue is a design element that allows for easier entry into the boot and provides a more adaptable, customizable fit when laced up.

Can I use these boots on artificial grass?

No, these firm ground boots are not recommended for artificial grass as it can lead to premature wear and potential injury due to different stud-to-surface interaction.

What is the benefit of Powerspine technology?

Powerspine technology is integrated into the midfoot to provide increased stability, which helps to generate more power when striking the ball.

Are these boots suitable for players of all positions?

While versatile, the focus on striking precision and rotational agility makes them particularly beneficial for attacking players, midfielders, and wingers.

How do I clean the rubber grip elements on the upper?

You can clean these elements with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure they are dry before storing.

What is the significance of the EQT branding?

The EQT branding signifies that these boots are part of a special collection celebrating adidas's classic Equipment line from the 1990s, known for its iconic sportswear designs.

Troubleshooting

Lace slippage

Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. If the floating tongue design causes issues, try adjusting the lacing pattern.

Lacquer wear on soleplate

This is a cosmetic issue and does not affect the performance or traction of the boot. No action is required.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure the correct size is being worn. Wear with appropriate football socks. Allow for a break-in period of a few games.

Reduced traction

Check the studs for excessive wear or debris. Clean the studs thoroughly after each use. Ensure the boots are being used on their intended firm ground surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These football boots are designed for immediate use. Ensure they are the correct size for a comfortable fit. The lace closure system and floating tongue allow for easy adjustment to secure the foot.

Compatibility: Specifically designed for use on firm ground (FG) natural grass pitches. Not recommended for artificial grass, hard ground, or very wet/muddy conditions to avoid damage and ensure optimal performance.
