These boots are designed to be worn on Firm Ground (FG) surfaces, which typically consist of natural, dry grass pitches. To 'set up' for play, ensure you select the correct size, allowing for a snug yet comfortable fit. While the new frame is accommodating, a short break-in period during light training sessions might enhance comfort. For compatibility, remember these are specialized FG boots and are not recommended for artificial turf (AG) or soft ground (SG) pitches, as the soleplate is optimized for firm natural surfaces. For care, after each use, remove any loose dirt or mud by tapping the boots together gently. Clean the upper with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap, then wipe the soleplate clean. Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as this can damage materials. Avoid machine washing or drying.
