FAQs

What type of surface are these boots best for?

These boots are designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches, which typically include natural grass fields that are dry or slightly wet.

How does the Powerspine technology improve my shots?

The Powerspine technology provides midfoot stability, which reduces the deformation of your foot upon impact with the ball. This optimization helps transfer more power from your leg to the ball, resulting in stronger shots.

What is the benefit of the Nanostrike+ upper?

The Nanostrike+ upper combines a soft, lightweight mesh with integrated rubber grip elements. This design offers enhanced ball control and accuracy, especially when striking the ball in both dry and wet conditions.

Can I use these boots on artificial grass?

While they might offer some traction, these boots are specifically optimized for Firm Ground (FG) surfaces. Using them regularly on artificial grass (AG) is not recommended as it can lead to premature wear and may affect performance and safety.

What should I do if the lacquer on the sole starts to peel?

The lacquer finish on the soleplate is expected to wear off during normal play on firm ground. This is a cosmetic issue and does not impact the performance or structural integrity of the boot.

How do I clean and care for my boots?

After use, brush off excess dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Avoid using harsh cleaners.

Are these boots suitable for all foot shapes?

These boots feature a regular fit and a Primeknit collar for an adaptable feel. While designed for comfort and performance, players with very wide or narrow feet might find other models offer a more specialized fit.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel uncomfortable or cause blisters

Ensure you have the correct size. Break in the boots gradually by wearing them for short periods. Adjust the floating tongue and lacing system for a better fit. If discomfort persists, consider if the boot shape is suitable for your foot type.

Traction seems insufficient on the pitch

Confirm you are playing on a suitable Firm Ground (FG) surface. Clean any mud or debris from the studs. If the issue persists on appropriate surfaces, the studs may be worn down and replacement might be considered.

Lacquer finish on the soleplate is wearing off

This is a normal occurrence due to the nature of play on firm ground and does not affect the performance of the boot. Continue using the boots as normal.

Difficulty putting the boots on

Utilize the floating tongue and strap system. Loosen the laces significantly before stepping in. The Primeknit collar is designed to be snug; ensure it is stretched appropriately as you put the boot on.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Optimized for goal-scoring with enhanced power and precision.
  • Advanced soleplate technology offers excellent traction and agility.
  • Comfortable and adaptable fit due to Primeknit collar and floating tongue.
  • Durable upper designed for control in diverse conditions.
  • Incorporates sustainable materials.

Cons

  • Lacquer finish on the soleplate may wear off during play.
  • Primarily designed for firm ground (FG) surfaces; performance on other surfaces may vary.
  • Floating tongue might require adjustment for a perfect fit for all users.
  • Regular fit may not suit players who prefer a very snug or wide fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the boots are the correct size and fit. The lace closure with the floating tongue allows for adjustability.
  2. Adjust the floating tongue using the strap for a secure and comfortable fit, ensuring a clean striking surface.

Compatibility:

  • These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) football pitches. They are best suited for natural grass pitches that are dry and slightly wet.
  • Use on artificial grass (AG), hard ground, or heavily wet/muddy pitches is not recommended and may affect performance and the lifespan of the boots.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  • Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a boot bag can help protect them.
  • Soleplate Finish: Be aware that the lacquer finish on the bottom of the boot may wear off during play. This is a cosmetic change and does not impact the performance or integrity of the boot.
