Please note that the soleplate on smaller junior sizes (UK 2.5 and below) of this boot comes with six metal-tipped studs only. Larger sizes (UK 3 and above) are as pictured, featuring additional, moulded plastic studs alongside the metal ones. This is a design variation based on size.

Ensure the boots are being used on the correct playing surface. These boots are specifically designed for Soft Ground (SG). If used on firm ground, artificial turf, or indoor surfaces, they will not provide optimal grip and may cause slipping. Also, check that all studs are clean and free from mud build-up.

Make sure the tongue's strap is securely fastened. It should wrap around and attach to the boot, holding the tongue down over the laces. If it's still an issue, ensure laces are tied securely underneath, providing a base for the tongue.
