FAQs
What does SG Pro mean on these football boots?
SG Pro stands for Soft Ground, Professional. These boots feature a specific stud configuration designed for optimal grip and performance on wet, muddy, or soft natural grass pitches.
Can I use these boots on artificial grass?
No, these SG Pro boots are not recommended for artificial grass (AG) or firm ground (FG) pitches. Using them on these surfaces can cause discomfort, reduced performance, and potential damage to the boots and the playing surface.
How do I clean the AntiClog soleplate?
After playing, use a soft brush or a damp cloth to remove any mud or debris. The AntiClog technology helps repel mud, but a quick clean after use is still recommended to maintain its effectiveness.
What is the benefit of the FlyTouch synthetic upper?
The FlyTouch synthetic upper is designed to be soft and adaptable, providing a natural feel for the ball, enhancing touch and control, and offering a comfortable, glove-like fit that molds to your foot.
Are replacement studs included?
Replacement studs and the necessary stud key are typically sold separately. You will need to purchase these if you need to replace worn or damaged studs.
How do I break in these football boots?
It's recommended to wear the boots for short periods, perhaps around the house, with normal football socks. Gradually increase the duration of wear. The soft nature of the FlyTouch upper should allow for a relatively quick break-in period.
What is the primary advantage of the debossed touch grooves?
The debossed touch grooves are designed to enhance grip on the ball, allowing for greater precision and control during dribbling, passing, and shooting, thereby increasing your creative options on the pitch.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Wear the boots with thin socks for short periods to allow the FlyTouch upper to mold to your foot shape. Gradually increase wear time. Consider using thicker socks for more cushioning if needed.
Reduced traction on soft ground
Ensure the studs are clean and free of mud. Check that the studs are securely attached and not worn down. If playing on extremely soft ground, ensure you are getting full penetration with the studs.
Mud continues to build up on the soleplate
While AntiClog technology reduces buildup, very heavy mud can still accumulate. Clean the soleplate thoroughly after each use with a brush or damp cloth. Ensure the boots are completely dry before storage.
Studs feel loose or damaged
Inspect studs for wear or damage. If loose, attempt to tighten them with the appropriate stud key. If damaged, they will need to be replaced. Spare studs and keys are typically sold separately.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Excellent touch and control on the ball due to the soft upper and design elements.
Adaptable fit provides a secure and comfortable feel, enhancing confidence in possession.
Lightweight soleplate supports agile movement and quick directional changes.
Provides reliable traction on soft ground surfaces.
Cons
SG Pro studs are not suitable for firm or artificial ground, potentially leading to slippage or damage.
Mud buildup can still occur if conditions are extremely heavy, though significantly reduced.
The soft nature of the upper might require more frequent cleaning to maintain optimal touch.
Requires specific stud replacement tools (sold separately) for maintenance.
May offer less protection against impact compared to boots with stiffer constructions.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Unpack your boots and inspect them for any damage.
If necessary, attach the provided studs (if not pre-attached) using the appropriate stud key (sold separately).
Wear the boots for a short period indoors to begin the break-in process.
Compatibility:
These boots are specifically designed for Soft Ground (SG Pro) football pitches. This typically means wet, muddy, or natural grass surfaces that offer less resistance.
NOT RECOMMENDED for use on firm ground, artificial grass (AG), or indoor (IC) surfaces, as this can lead to slippage, discomfort, and potential damage to the studs and soleplate.
Care:
Cleaning: After each use on a wet or muddy pitch, remove excess mud using a soft brush or cloth. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the upper and soleplate. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the boots.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and retain their shape. Never dry them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, to protect them from dust and damage.
