FAQs

What does 'FG' stand for on these boots?

FG stands for Firm Ground. These boots are designed for use on natural grass pitches that are firm and dry or slightly wet.

Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?

No, these firm ground (FG) boots are not recommended for artificial grass. Using them on artificial surfaces can cause damage to the studs and potentially lead to injury.

How do I clean the rubber grip elements on the upper?

Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently clean the rubber grip elements. Avoid using abrasive materials that could damage the texture.

What is the purpose of the floating tongue?

The floating tongue is designed to make the boots easier to put on and provides an adjustable fit, allowing for personalized comfort and lockdown.

How do I care for the Primeknit collar?

The Primeknit collar is generally self-cleaning. If necessary, gently wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid excessive scrubbing to maintain its elasticity and fit.

Will the lacquer wearing off affect my performance?

No, the wearing off of the lacquer finish on the soleplate is a cosmetic issue and will not affect the performance, traction, or structural integrity of the boot.

Are these boots part of a limited edition collection?

Yes, these boots feature a special edition EQT colourway, inspired by adidas' classic Equipment gear from the 90s.

Troubleshooting

Laces not staying tied

Ensure laces are threaded through all eyelets and tied securely using a double knot if necessary. Consider replacing laces if they are worn.

Boots feel tight or uncomfortable

Allow for a break-in period. Wear them for short sessions initially. Ensure you have the correct size and consider using thinner socks if needed.

Traction feels inconsistent

Ensure the firm ground studs are clean and free of debris. Check that the pitch surface is suitable for FG boots; use on inappropriate surfaces can affect grip.

Lacquer on soleplate wearing off

This is a cosmetic effect of play and does not impact the boot's performance, grip, or durability. Continue to use the boots as normal.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced striking precision due to Nanostrike+ upper and rubber grip elements.
  • Improved traction and rotational agility on firm ground surfaces.
  • Comfortable and secure fit with the floating tongue and Primeknit collar.
  • Unique and nostalgic EQT colourway for a distinctive look.
  • Offers midfoot stability for powerful shots.

Cons

  • Lacquer finish on the soleplate may wear off during play, though it doesn't affect performance.
  • Firm ground (FG) stud configuration is specific to certain pitch types.
  • May require a break-in period for optimal comfort and feel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These boots feature a lace closure system with a floating tongue for an adjustable and easy step-in fit. Ensure the laces are tied securely and the tongue is positioned comfortably for your foot.

Compatibility: Designed for firm ground (FG) surfaces. Use these boots exclusively on natural grass pitches that are dry or slightly wet. Avoid using them on artificial grass, hard ground, or heavily waterlogged pitches as this can damage the studs and reduce performance.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or cloth. For tougher grime, use a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can degrade the materials.
  3. Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a breathable boot bag, to maintain their shape and prevent odor development.
