Upon receiving your new boots, it's recommended to visually inspect the adjustable metal-tipped studs to ensure they are securely fastened. While a stud key is not included, it's an essential tool for maintaining optimal stud tightness. Consider purchasing a Nike stud key separately to adjust or replace studs as needed.
These boots are specifically designed for Soft Ground (SG) pitches, which are typically natural grass fields that are wet or muddy. The longer, metal-tipped studs provide the necessary penetration for grip in these conditions. They are not recommended for use on firm ground (FG) or artificial grass (AG) surfaces, as this can damage the soleplate and studs, and may lead to discomfort or injury.
Clean After Each Use: After playing, remove excess mud and dirt using a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Remove Insole: Take out the cushioned insole to allow the boot to air out and dry completely, preventing odor and mildew.
Air Dry: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (e.g., radiators, hairdryers), as this can cause the materials to crack or shrink.
Check Studs: Regularly check the tightness of the metal studs. Use a stud key to tighten any loose studs. Replace worn or damaged studs promptly.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from extreme temperatures. Using a boot bag can protect them during transport.
