The adidas Copa Gloro II FG boots are crafted for players who value control, comfort, and a classic aesthetic on the pitch. The supersoft cow leather upper immediately adapts to your foot, offering a 'barefoot' like touch for precise passing, dribbling, and receiving. The quilted forefoot enhances this sensation, providing a subtle cushioning that helps absorb impact and improve ball control, especially during first touches.
The padded fold-over tongue is a standout feature, creating a clean strike zone for improved shot accuracy and power. Whether you're curling a shot into the top corner or delivering a cross-field pass, the smooth surface ensures consistent contact with the ball. The perforations at the midfoot and heel are crucial for maintaining comfort during intense play, promoting airflow to prevent overheating and discomfort.
On firm natural grass pitches, the moulded ergonomic soleplate with its conical stud configuration offers excellent multi-directional traction. This allows for rapid changes of direction, explosive acceleration, and stable footing, crucial for outmaneuvering opponents. Being 28 grams lighter than its predecessor, these boots help reduce fatigue and increase your agility over 90 minutes, enabling you to react faster and get to the ball first. The blend of heritage design with modern performance makes these boots a reliable choice for midfield maestros, creative attackers, or defenders who prioritize comfort and controlled play.
Lacing: Unlace the boots fully. Slip your foot in, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated at the back of the boot.
Tongue Adjustment: Position the fold-over tongue evenly. If you prefer, it can be detached and played without.
Secure Lacing: Tighten the laces from the bottom up, ensuring a snug but not overly restrictive fit. Double-knot for security during play.
Break-In Period: Leather boots often require a short break-in period. Wear them for light training sessions or casual use before a full match to allow the leather to mold to your foot shape.
Pitch Type: These boots are strictly designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches. This refers to natural grass pitches that are firm and dry. Using them on artificial turf (AG), soft ground (SG), or indoor surfaces can damage the boots and increase the risk of injury.
Fit: The boots feature a 'regular fit', suitable for most foot shapes. If you typically wear wide-fit footwear, consider trying them on to ensure comfort.
Cleaning After Use: Immediately after each use, wipe down the boots with a damp cloth to remove dirt and mud. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasive brushes, as these can damage the leather.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can cause the leather to crack or shrink.
Leather Conditioning: Regularly apply a leather conditioner or cream specifically designed for football boots. This keeps the leather supple, prevents drying and cracking, and maintains its water resistance.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, ideally with boot trees or crumpled newspaper inside to help maintain their shape and absorb excess moisture.
Stud Inspection: Periodically check the conical studs for wear or damage. While typically durable, extreme conditions or accidental impacts can cause issues.
