FAQs
Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?
These are designed specifically for Firm Ground (FG) natural grass. Using them on artificial surfaces may cause excessive wear to the studs.
Do I need to treat the upper with a spray?
No, the synthetic mesh upper with coated details does not require traditional leather treatments. A damp cloth is sufficient.
What is the purpose of the Powerspine?
The Powerspine minimizes foot deformation when you strike the ball, which helps transfer more energy directly into your kick.
Are these boots true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adidas sizing, though the performance fit is snug to aid control.
How do I ensure the grip elements stay effective?
Keep the upper clean of mud and debris. If they become dirty, wipe them down with a damp cloth to restore the friction of the rubber elements.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too stiff out of the box
Wear them for short training sessions rather than full matches initially to allow the materials to mold to your foot shape.
Accumulated mud on the soleplate
Use a specialized boot brush or a plastic scraper to gently clear mud from between the studs after every game to maintain traction.
Laces coming undone during play
Ensure you are using a double knot and that the laces are pulled tight through the eyelets to maintain a secure lockdown.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you select your correct UK size and utilize the lacing system to achieve a locked-down feel across the midfoot.
- Compatibility: These are Firm Ground (FG) boots; they are intended for natural grass pitches. Avoid using them on artificial turf or concrete, as this may lead to premature wear of the studs.
- Care: After use, remove mud and debris from the studs and upper using a soft brush or damp cloth. Allow the boots to air dry naturally in a cool, ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the synthetic materials and glue joints.
