FAQs
Are these boots suitable for artificial grass pitches?
Yes, these boots feature a Firm/Multi-Ground (FG/MG) outsole, which makes them suitable for use on modern artificial grass (AG) pitches as well as firm natural grass surfaces. This versatile soleplate provides balanced traction.
How do I clean the white material of these boots?
For best results, clean immediately after use. Wipe off loose dirt with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. Air dry away from direct heat.
What is the benefit of the fold-over tongue?
The fold-over tongue provides a clean and uniform striking surface by covering the laces, which can lead to a more consistent ball contact. It also gives the boots a classic, traditional football aesthetic.
Are these boots durable for regular play?
Constructed by adidas, these boots are designed for regular use in junior leagues and training. The Hybridfeel upper and Controlplate outsole are built to withstand the demands of youth football when properly cared for.
What age group are these boots designed for?
These boots are specifically designed for kids, indicated by the 'Children' sizing and the 'kids' age group attribute. They are perfect for young players developing their skills.
How should I choose the correct size for my child?
It is recommended to measure your child's foot length and compare it to the adidas size chart for children's football boots. Allow for a small amount of growth room, but avoid purchasing boots that are significantly too large, as this can affect performance and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or loose.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate football socks. Re-lace the boots, adjusting the tension evenly from the toe to the ankle. For persistent issues, verify the size against your child's foot measurements; children's feet grow quickly.
Reduced grip on the pitch.
Clean the outsole thoroughly after each use to remove any trapped dirt or debris that might reduce traction. Check the stud pattern for excessive wear, especially if playing frequently on abrasive surfaces. Ensure the pitch type is compatible with the FG/MG soleplate.
The fold-over tongue doesn't stay flat.
Ensure the laces are tied securely underneath the tongue. You can use a small piece of athletic tape to secure the tongue to the laces or the boot if it's consistently flapping, though this should rarely be necessary with proper lacing.
White material gets stained easily.
Clean the boots immediately after use to prevent stains from setting. Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution for stubborn marks. For grass stains, a specialized sports shoe cleaner may be effective. Avoid abrasive cleaning tools.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Versatile Traction: The multi-ground outsole is suitable for a range of natural and artificial pitches, offering flexibility for young players.
- Enhanced Ball Control: Hybridfeel upper with Strikescale elements provides superior touch and grip on the ball.
- Comfortable Fit: Regular fit and textile lining ensure comfort throughout the game.
- Classic Design: The fold-over tongue offers a traditional football boot aesthetic.
- Secure Lockdown: Lace closure allows for a customizable and secure fit, crucial for agile movements.
Cons
- Color Maintenance: The white color may show dirt and grass stains more prominently, requiring frequent cleaning.

- Tongue Preference: While classic, the fold-over tongue style might not appeal to all modern players.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions
- Lacing: Loosen the laces sufficiently to easily slide your foot into the boot. Ensure the fold-over tongue is positioned neatly over the laces.
- Foot Placement: Insert your foot, ensuring your heel is snugly against the back of the boot.
- Tightening: Starting from the bottom eyelets, pull the laces evenly to achieve a snug but comfortable fit. Avoid over-tightening, which can restrict circulation.
- Tongue Adjustment: Once laced, ensure the fold-over tongue sits flat and covers the knotted laces if desired.
Compatibility
These boots are equipped with a Firm/Multi-Ground (FG/MG) outsole, making them suitable for:
- Firm Ground (FG): Natural grass pitches that are dry and firm.
- Multi-Ground (MG): Modern artificial grass surfaces (AG) and moderately firm natural grass pitches.
*Note*: While versatile, these boots are not designed for very soft, muddy natural grass (SG) or extremely hard, abrasive artificial turf (1G/2G pitches) which may require specific soleplates.
Care Instructions
- Post-Match Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. For white boots, immediate cleaning helps prevent stains from setting in.
- Deep Cleaning: For thorough cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth to gently wipe the upper. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive materials.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and adhesives. Stuffing the boots with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a boot bag can protect them from dust and scratches.
- Avoid Submerging: Do not submerge the entire boot in water, as this can damage the internal structure and materials.
