FAQs

What does 'MI FG' stand for?

'MI' indicates 'Made in Italy', signifying the artisanal craftsmanship of these boots. 'FG' stands for Firm Ground, specifying the type of playing surface they are designed for.

Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?

The FG soleplate is best suited for natural grass or artificial grass that closely mimics natural firm ground. They may wear down faster or offer less optimal traction on very hard or abrasive artificial turf.

How do the foam pods in the upper help?

The foam pods provide cushioning and support, enhancing comfort and helping to absorb impact, which contributes to more precise ball striking and control.

What is the primary benefit of the leather material?

The premium leather offers a soft, natural feel for the ball, improving touch and control. It also molds to the foot over time for a personalized fit.

How should I clean the metallic outsole?

Use a damp cloth to wipe down the outsole. Avoid harsh chemicals. Ensure it is dry before storing.

What is the inspiration behind this specific model?

This Montebelluna edition is inspired by the legendary Italian footballer Andrea Pirlo, celebrating his style and achievements, particularly his role in Italy's 2006 victory.

What is the typical lifespan of these boots?

The lifespan depends on playing frequency, intensity, and pitch conditions. With proper care and maintenance, these premium boots can last for a considerable period.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight

Wear the boots with thin socks for an initial period to allow the leather to stretch slightly. If still too tight, consider professional stretching services or refer to alternative sizing if available.

Traction feels insufficient on wet grass

The FG soleplate is designed for firm ground. For wet or muddy conditions, consider using alternative boots with different soleplate configurations (e.g., SG - Soft Ground).

Leather appears dry or stiff

Apply a leather conditioner suitable for football boots. Ensure the boots are clean and dry before application.

Stitching seems to be loosening

Minor loose threads can often be trimmed carefully. For significant stitching issues, consult a cobbler or contact customer support if within the warranty period.

  • High-quality, artisanal construction from Italy.
  • Enhanced shooting precision with integrated foam pods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These football boots are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly for optimal performance. It's recommended to wear them for a short period indoors to break them in before a full match.

Compatibility: The 'FG' designation stands for Firm Ground, meaning these boots are designed primarily for use on natural grass pitches or synthetic surfaces that are of similar length and firmness. They are not recommended for very wet, muddy pitches or hard artificial turf.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth. Use a slightly damp cloth for tougher grime. Avoid soaking the boots.
  2. Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the leather and adhesives.
  3. Leather Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the upper supple and prevent cracking. Follow the product's specific instructions.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag to protect them from damage and dust.
