Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
Upon first wearing, the boots may feel snug. Allow for a short break-in period (1-2 light training sessions) to allow the upper materials to mold to your foot shape for optimal comfort and fit.
Compatibility
These boots are exclusively designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches. This means natural grass fields that are dry to slightly damp.
- DO NOT use on Artificial Grass (AG) pitches, as this can damage the studs and outsole, voiding any potential warranty and compromising your grip.
- DO NOT use on Soft Ground (SG) or extremely wet/muddy pitches, as the FG studs will not provide sufficient traction and can lead to slipping.
Care and Maintenance
Proper care extends the life and performance of your boots:
- Cleaning After Use:
- Remove excess mud and dirt immediately after each use.
- Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and lukewarm water to gently scrub the upper and soleplate.
- Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive materials.
- Drying:
- Stuff the boots with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
- Allow them to air dry at room temperature.
- DO NOT dry them near direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight) as this can cause the materials to crack or shrink.
- Storage:
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Consider using a boot bag to protect them during transport.
