FAQs

What type of surface are these boots best suited for?

These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) football pitches, where mud and moisture are common. The AntiClog technology is particularly beneficial in these conditions.

How do I clean the AntiClog soleplate?

After each use, clean the soleplate with a damp cloth or soft brush to remove mud. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Allow to air dry naturally.

Will these boots work on artificial grass?

These boots are not optimized for artificial grass. For artificial turf, a different type of stud pattern, such as AG (Artificial Grass) or TF (Turf), would be more appropriate for optimal performance and to prevent damage to the boots.

What is the benefit of the FlyTouch synthetic upper?

The FlyTouch synthetic upper provides a consistent, soft, and responsive touch on the ball in all weather conditions, enhancing feel and control.

Are the studs replaceable?

Yes, the studs are designed to be replaceable. However, you will need the specific stud key (sold separately) to remove or tighten them.

How do I achieve the best fit?

The boots should fit snugly. Ensure the laces are tied securely but not overly tight to allow the adaptable fit to work effectively. A break-in period will help the boot mold to your foot.

What does 'SG Pro AntiClog' mean?

SG stands for Soft Ground, indicating the intended pitch type. Pro suggests a higher level of performance and technology. AntiClog refers to the technology that prevents mud from sticking to the soleplate, maintaining traction.

Troubleshooting

Traction feels reduced on wet pitches.

Ensure the AntiClog soleplate is clean. Gently brush away any accumulated mud or debris from the studs and the soleplate itself using a soft brush or damp cloth.

Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Allow for a break-in period. The FlyTouch upper is designed to adapt to the foot over time. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly for a balance between lockdown and comfort.

Studs feel loose.

Use the appropriate stud key (sold separately) to tighten the studs. Ensure they are securely fastened before playing.

Mud buildup on the soleplate is still significant.

While AntiClog technology helps, persistent heavy mud may still accumulate. Ensure thorough cleaning after each use. Consider alternating between different pairs if playing in extremely muddy conditions frequently.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for soft ground, may offer less optimal performance on firmer surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Sizing: Ensure the correct UK size is selected for a snug, performance fit. The boots are designed to contour to the foot.
  2. Studs: These boots are intended for soft ground and come with pre-installed studs. Replacement stud keys are sold separately and are required for stud changes or tightening.

  • Surface: Optimized for soft ground (SG) football pitches. The AntiClog soleplate is best suited for pitches where mud buildup is a common issue.
  • Conditions: Suitable for use in both wet and dry conditions, with enhanced performance in wet weather due to the AntiClog feature.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After use, clean the boots with a damp cloth to remove dirt and mud. Pay particular attention to the soleplate and stud areas.
  • Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag to maintain their condition and prevent damage.
