FAQs

Can I use these boots on artificial grass?

These boots are designed for Firm Ground (FG) natural grass. Using them on artificial turf may cause premature wear and void your warranty.

How should I clean my Gripknit upper?

Wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid scrubbing with abrasive materials that might damage the texture.

Do these boots run true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard Nike sizing, though the performance fit is snug. Consider your preferred thickness of football socks.

Are these suitable for wet weather?

Yes, the Gripknit technology is specifically designed to provide consistent performance in both wet and dry conditions.

What is the best way to store the boots?

Store them in a cool, dry place with a shoe tree to maintain their shape, and avoid leaving them in a damp kit bag.

Troubleshooting

Accumulation of dirt in the stud pattern

Use a specialized boot cleaning brush or a dull plastic tool to gently remove debris after every match.

Loss of grip on the upper surface

Gently clean the upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface oils and dirt that can accumulate during play.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your boots, always remove mud and grass clippings immediately after use using a soft-bristled brush. Avoid using harsh chemicals or industrial detergents, as these can degrade the Gripknit coating; instead, use lukewarm water and a mild soap solution. Allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can warp the soleplate or cause the upper material to become brittle. These boots are designed for firm, natural grass ground surfaces only and should not be used on artificial turf to prevent premature wear on the studs.
