FAQs
Can I use these boots on artificial grass?
These boots are designed specifically for firm, natural grass ground. Using them on artificial turf can cause premature wear to the outsole and may void performance guarantees.
How should I clean the fold-over tongue?
Wipe the tongue gently with a damp, soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as they can damage the texture of the material.
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
The synthetic upper provides some flexibility, but the boot is built on a performance fit. If you have particularly wide feet, it is recommended to try them on with your match-day socks to check for comfort.
What is the primary benefit of the fold-over tongue?
The main benefit is a smooth, clean strike zone over the laces, which minimizes interference when striking the ball for passes or shots.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Wear the same thickness of socks you plan to use during matches. Your toes should have about a quarter-inch of space from the front of the boot for optimal comfort and performance.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff during the first wear
Synthetic uppers often require a short break-in period. Wear them for light training sessions rather than a full match initially to allow the material to soften and mold to your foot shape.
Loss of traction during play
Ensure the outsole studs are free of mud or debris. If the pitch is too wet or loose, the firm ground configuration may struggle to maintain grip.
Pros and Cons

- Enhanced ball control from textured grip zones

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best results, ensure these boots are used strictly on firm ground natural grass. Using them on overly abrasive artificial turf may lead to accelerated outsole wear. To care for your boots: remove excess mud after every game using a soft brush. Wipe down the synthetic upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Always let your boots air dry naturally in a cool, well-ventilated area—never place them near a radiator or heater, as high temperatures can damage the bonding agents and the synthetic material.
