These boots are designed for use on Firm Ground (FG) and Artificial Ground (AG) surfaces. To ensure optimal performance and longevity, follow these guidelines: 1. Initial Fit: When first trying on, ensure a snug but comfortable fit. The adaptive knit will conform to your foot over a few uses. 2. Lacing: Securely lace your boots to engage the midfoot tape for maximum lockdown and stability. 3. Surface Compatibility: Always use these boots on appropriate FG or AG pitches. Using them on hard ground or street surfaces can cause excessive wear to the studs and soleplate. 4. Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and debris with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. 5. Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight, which can damage materials. 6. Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew and material degradation. Avoid stuffing them with newspaper, as this can affect their shape. 7. Maintenance: Regularly inspect studs for wear and tear, and ensure laces are in good condition.
