What is `HybridTouch` material?
`HybridTouch` is adidas's next-generation synthetic suede and foil combination, engineered to provide lightweight comfort, support, and an improved touch on the ball.
Will the colored lacquer on the soleplate wear off?
Yes, it is noted that the lacquer finish on the bottom of the soleplate may wear off during play. This is normal and will not affect the performance of the product.
How do the `Strikeskin` rubber fins benefit my game?
The `Strikeskin` rubber fins are designed to give you more purchase on the ball, which significantly enhances precision for passes and shots, and allows for greater swerve.
What is the purpose of the foldover tongue?
The foldover tongue, secured with a strap, provides a more integrated fit and feel, enhancing comfort and creating a cleaner strike zone on the ball.
Are these boots made with sustainable materials?

How should I clean these boots?
Clean them after each use by removing loose dirt and wiping the `HybridTouch` upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry naturally away from direct heat.

Troubleshooting
Lacquer finish on soleplate is wearing off.
This is a normal characteristic of the product and is expected to occur during play. It does not affect the performance, durability, or structural integrity of the boots. Continue to use them as intended.
Boots feel uncomfortable or too tight.
Ensure you have the correct size. If new, allow for a brief break-in period during light use. Properly adjust the laces and the foldover tongue to ensure an even, snug fit without over-tightening. Consider wearing thin football socks initially.
Lack of grip or stability on the pitch.
Verify that you are playing on a firm ground (FG) surface, for which these boots are designed. Ensure the laces are securely tied to prevent your foot from slipping inside the boot. Check the soleplate for any debris that might be impacting traction.
Upper material appears dirty or stained.
Clean the `HybridTouch` upper with a damp cloth and mild soap immediately after use. For tougher stains, gently scrub with a soft brush. Ensure to wipe off all soap residue and allow the boots to air dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
- Lacing: Loosen the laces completely before putting on the boots. This ensures the `Primeknit` collar and `HybridTouch` upper conform properly to your foot.
- Fitting: Slide your foot into the boot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated in the ergonomic heel counter. Pull the `Primeknit` collar up to sit snugly around your ankle.
- Tongue Adjustment: Fold the tongue down and secure it with its strap, ensuring it sits flat and comfortably over your instep.
- Tightening: Systematically tighten the laces from the bottom upwards, ensuring an even, secure fit across your foot without over-tightening.
Compatibility
These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) surfaces. This includes natural grass pitches that are dry or slightly damp. Using them on other surfaces, such as artificial grass (AG) or soft ground (SG), may compromise performance, durability, and potentially lead to injury.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning After Use: After each use, remove loose dirt and mud by gently tapping the boots together. Use a soft brush or cloth to wipe down the `HybridTouch` upper and `Strikeskin` elements.
- Deep Cleaning: For a more thorough clean, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water to wipe the entire boot. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials which can damage the synthetic suede and rubber elements. Rinse the cloth and wipe again to remove any soap residue.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers), as this can cause the materials to stiffen, crack, or lose their shape. Stuffing the boots with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures. Consider using a boot bag to protect them during transport.
- Lacquer Finish: Please note that the lacquer finish on the bottom of the `ControlFrame 2.0` soleplate is designed to wear off during play. This is a normal process and will not affect the performance or durability of the product.
