FAQs
Are these boots suitable for indoor play?
No, these boots feature studs intended for natural and artificial grass. Using them on indoor courts will be slippery and potentially damaging to the court surface.
How do I choose the right size?
We recommend measuring the child's foot in centimeters and comparing it to the Nike sizing guide. Leave roughly 0.5cm of space at the front for growth and comfort.
Can these boots be worn on wet grass?
Yes, the hybrid stud configuration is designed to provide traction on a variety of field conditions, including damp natural grass.
How often should I clean my boots?
You should clean the boots after every use to prevent dirt and moisture from breaking down the synthetic materials.
Does the NikeSkin upper stretch over time?
Synthetic uppers like NikeSkin are designed to maintain their shape better than leather, but they will conform slightly to the foot over time for a personalized fit.
Is the soleplate flexible?
Yes, the plate is engineered for agility, offering a balance of flexibility for natural foot movement and stiffness for energy return.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel slippery on artificial grass
Ensure the stud base is free of compacted rubber pellets or turf infill, as these can reduce grip.
Upper material showing scuffs
Use a specialized synthetic shoe cleaner and a soft sponge to gently buff out superficial marks without damaging the finish.
Laces coming undone frequently
Double knot the laces or replace them with high-friction performance laces if the current pair loses tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, confirm that the boot size matches the child's foot with a small amount of clearance for growth. When lacing, ensure a snug but comfortable fit across the midfoot to prevent slippage inside the boot. For maintenance, remove mud and grass debris immediately after use using a soft brush. Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary; avoid submerging in water or using harsh detergents. Allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials.
