FAQs
What type of pitch are these boots designed for?
These boots (SG - Soft Ground) are specifically designed for wet, muddy, and soft natural grass pitches. They are not suitable for firm or artificial ground.
How does the Anti-Clog technology work?
The Anti-Clog technology features a surface treatment on the soleplate that helps prevent mud from sticking, maintaining the boot's lightweight and optimal traction.
What is the benefit of the FlyTouch synthetic upper?
The FlyTouch upper provides a soft, natural touch on the ball, allowing for excellent control and comfort in all weather conditions.
Are replacement studs included with the boots?
No, spare metal-tipped studs are not included. A stud key is also sold separately for adjustments or replacements.
How do I ensure the best fit?
The knitted tongue and adaptable upper are designed for a snug fit. Wear them for short periods during training sessions to allow them to mold to your foot shape.
Can I use these boots on artificial grass?
No, these are soft ground (SG) boots and are not recommended for use on artificial grass or firm ground. Using them on incorrect surfaces can damage the boots and affect performance.
What is the main advantage of the debossed touch grooves?
The debossed touch grooves are designed to enhance your ability to control and manipulate the ball, offering more creativity and confidence when dribbling.
Troubleshooting
Mud buildup on soleplate despite Anti-Clog technology
While Anti-Clog technology significantly reduces mud adhesion, heavy or sticky mud may still accumulate. Clean the soleplate thoroughly with a brush and water after use. Ensure the technology is not obstructed by large debris.
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
The FlyTouch upper is designed to adapt, but a break-in period may be needed. Wear the boots for short periods during training to allow them to mold to your feet. Ensure the correct size has been selected.
Lack of traction on wet ground
Verify that the studs are appropriate for soft ground and are in good condition. Check if the Anti-Clog technology is functioning correctly by ensuring the soleplate is clean. Consider if the pitch conditions have changed significantly (e.g., become very hard due to drought).
Studs feel loose
Use a compatible stud key to tighten the metal-tipped studs. If a stud is damaged or cannot be tightened, it may need to be replaced. Note that spare studs are not included.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Stud Adjustment: The adjustable metal-tipped studs may require a stud key (sold separately) for initial tightening or replacement. Ensure studs are securely fastened before play.
Compatibility:
- Surface: These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) football pitches, which are typically wet and muddy. They are not recommended for firm, artificial, or hard ground surfaces, as this can lead to discomfort, reduced performance, and potential damage to the studs and soleplate.
- Stud Replacement: While spares are not included, compatible replacement studs can be sourced separately. Ensure they match the specifications for SG boots.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess mud using a soft brush. Clean the upper with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive materials.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a breathable boot bag, to maintain their shape and prevent odor.
