FAQs

What type of pitch are these boots designed for?

These are firm ground (FG) football boots, ideal for natural grass pitches that are dry or slightly wet.

How does the floating tongue feature work?

The floating tongue is designed to stay in place while offering adjustability, making it easier to step into the boot and secure a personalized fit with the laces.

Will the wear on the soleplate's lacquer affect performance?

No, the wear of the lacquer finish is purely aesthetic and does not impact the boot's performance, grip, or stability.

Are these boots suitable for players with wide feet?

The boots have a regular fit. While the Primeknit collar and lace system offer some adjustability, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them snug. A trial fitting is recommended.

What does the 'EQT' in the name signify?

EQT stands for Equipment, a line from adidas celebrating its classic 90s sportswear heritage. These boots feature design elements and branding inspired by that iconic era.

How should I clean these football boots?

Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap after removing excess dirt. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.

Are these boots made with sustainable materials?

Yes, these boots are made in part with recycled materials as part of adidas' commitment to sustainability.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure laces are adjusted correctly. The floating tongue and Primeknit collar are designed to adapt, but allow a short break-in period. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is correct for your foot.

Traction feels insufficient.

Verify you are playing on a suitable firm ground surface. Ensure the studs are clean and free from debris. The soleplate is optimized for dry to slightly damp natural grass.

Lacquer on soleplate is peeling.

This is a known cosmetic effect and does not impact the performance or grip of the boots. Continue to use as normal.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced striking precision due to Nanostrike+ upper and rubber grip elements.
  • Improved traction and agility on firm ground surfaces with the Strikeframe soleplate.
  • Comfortable and adaptable fit provided by the Primeknit collar and floating tongue.
  • Stylish, retro design inspired by the iconic Equipment line.
  • Offers midfoot stability for increased shot power.

Cons

  • Lacquer finish on the soleplate may wear off during play.
  • Primarily designed for firm ground; performance may vary on different surfaces.
  • Floating tongue design might require a brief adjustment period for some users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These football boots feature a lace closure system with a floating tongue for an easy, customizable fit. Simply lace them up to your preferred tightness, ensuring the Primeknit collar comfortably hugs your ankle. The floating tongue allows for quick adjustment without needing to fully unlace.

Compatibility: The Strikeframe soleplate is specifically designed for firm ground (FG) surfaces. This includes natural grass pitches that are dry or slightly wet. They are not recommended for use on artificial grass, hard ground, or very wet/muddy conditions, as this can affect performance and potentially damage the studs.

Care:

  • After each use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or a dry cloth.
  • Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh detergents.
  • Stuff with newspaper or a boot dryer to absorb moisture and help maintain shape. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  • Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
