These boots are straightforward to use, but a short break-in period is recommended. Setup: Simply lace them up to a comfortable, snug fit. Ensure the laces are securely tied to prevent slippage during play. Compatibility: The FG (Firm Ground) soleplate is designed for use on natural grass pitches that are firm and relatively dry. They are not recommended for artificial grass (AG), soft ground (SG), or indoor (IC) surfaces, as this can affect performance and durability. Care: To keep your boots in top condition and prolong their lifespan, clean them after every use. 1. Remove loose dirt: Use a soft brush or cloth to gently remove any mud or grass from the upper and soleplate. 2. Wipe clean: Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to wipe down the synthetic upper. Avoid harsh chemicals. 3. Air dry: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources like radiators, which can damage the synthetic material. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
