Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?

These are Firm-Ground (FG) boots designed for natural grass. Use on artificial surfaces may lead to increased wear and reduced traction.

How do I maintain the grip on the upper?

Wipe the SupraSkin upper with a soft, damp cloth after every use to remove dust and dirt that can interfere with the grip.

What is the primary benefit of the Vestamid plate?

The Vestamid plate provides a perfect balance of lightweight construction and the structural rigidity needed for high-speed performance.

How should I store my boots?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources to maintain the integrity of the knit tongue and microfiber upper.

What does the 'Deadly Strike' feature actually do?

It is a dual-function system where the plant foot receives extra grip for stability, while the strike foot benefits from optimized energy return.

Troubleshooting

Sensation of slipping on the pitch

Ensure you are using the boots exclusively on firm-ground natural grass; inspect studs for debris or excessive wear.

Upper material feels stiff initially

High-performance microfiber often requires a short break-in period; wear them for light training sessions before competitive matches.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Superior structural support from the Vestamid plate
Optimized energy return for more powerful ball strikes
Excellent ball control via the SupraSkin treatment
Seamless fit ensures comfort throughout the game

Cons

Specifically optimized for firm-ground surfaces only
Requires proper cleaning to maintain the grip treatment
Premium materials require break-in time for maximum comfort

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure peak performance, lace the knit tongue tightly to confirm the seamless fit is locked in before your first use. These boots are strictly designed for firm-ground (FG) natural grass pitches; using them on artificial turf or extremely hard ground may cause premature wear to the stud configuration. After play, remove loose mud using a soft brush, and wipe the upper with a damp cloth to protect the SupraSkin coating. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or leaving the boots in direct sunlight to dry, as this can degrade the synthetic materials.
