FAQs

Can I use these boots on artificial grass?

No, these are FG (Firm Ground) boots designed specifically for natural grass. Using them on artificial surfaces may void the warranty and lead to premature wear.

How should I clean the Gripknit upper?

Clean the surface with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that could tear or degrade the grip material.

Do these boots run true to size?

They generally offer a snug, performance fit. If you prefer a looser feel, consider testing them with your preferred football socks before finalizing your size.

Is the Gripknit material waterproof?

The technology is designed to be weather-resistant, ensuring consistent grip in wet conditions rather than keeping the foot completely dry.

What is the best way to store them?

Store in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees to help maintain the shape of the boot when not in use.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff on the first wear

This is normal for elite-tier boots. Wear them for short sessions at training before using them for a full match to allow the upper to mold to your foot.

Mud accumulation between studs

Use a specialized plastic cleat cleaner or a blunt wooden tool to clear debris after every use to maintain traction levels.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent ball control in various weather conditions
  • Lightweight design for increased speed
  • Professional-grade aesthetics
  • Superior lockdown for secure fit during intense play

Cons

  • Not suitable for artificial turf or indoor surfaces
  • Requires a break-in period for optimal comfort
  • Premium materials require diligent cleaning

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your boots last, it is essential to follow a consistent maintenance routine. After playing on muddy or wet grass, remove any excess dirt using a soft brush. Wipe the upper with a damp cloth; do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, as these can damage the Gripknit layer. Always allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as heat can warp the upper or weaken the adhesive. These boots are strictly designed for Firm Ground (FG) use; using them on artificial grass (AG) may cause premature stud wear or potential injury due to excessive grip.
