FAQs
What does 'SG Pro' mean on these football boots?
'SG Pro' indicates that these boots are designed for Soft Ground pitches and feature a professional-grade soleplate configuration optimized for traction on wet, muddy surfaces.
How do I clean mud off the TechLeather upper?
Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe away mud. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a rinse with a clean damp cloth. Always air dry.
Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?
No, these boots are specifically designed for soft, natural ground pitches. The SG Pro stud configuration is not suitable for artificial grass and may cause discomfort or damage.
What is the benefit of the 360Wrap technology?
The 360Wrap technology extends the upper around the boot, providing enhanced lockdown and a more secure fit, which allows for greater agility and creative play.
Can I replace the studs on these boots?
Yes, the studs on SG Pro boots are typically replaceable. However, spare studs and a stud key are not included and must be purchased separately.
How does the TechLeather upper differ from traditional leather?
TechLeather is a synthetic material that offers a softer, lighter feel, provides more consistent touch in all conditions, and is less prone to stretching than traditional leather.
What is the primary advantage of the Maestro360 split soleplate?
The Maestro360 split soleplate is designed for optimal torsional flex and responsiveness, enabling players to move more easily in multiple directions and react quickly to changes in play.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. The TechLeather and TechKnit may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase duration.
Reduced traction on wet ground
Check that the studs are securely tightened. If studs are worn, they may need replacing. Ensure the pitch conditions are suitable for SG Pro studs.
Material feels stiff after drying
Avoid drying boots near heat sources. If they feel stiff, a leather conditioner specifically for football boots can be applied sparingly after they are completely dry.
Studs not gripping effectively
Confirm the correct type of pitch (soft ground) is being used. Worn studs should be replaced. Ensure the boots are clean of mud that might impede grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Ensure the boots are the correct size and fit comfortably before use.
- For SG Pro models, check that the appropriate studs are securely fastened. Replacement studs and a stud key are sold separately.
Compatibility:
- These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) football pitches, typically characterized by natural grass that is wet or muddy.
- They are not recommended for firm ground or artificial turf, as the stud configuration may not provide optimal traction and could cause discomfort or damage.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, clean the boots with a soft brush or damp cloth to remove mud and debris. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag, to maintain their shape and prevent material degradation.
