Walk-in: Before an intense match, wear the boots for a short period to allow them to mold to your feet.

Cleaning: After each use, remove loose mud and debris with a soft brush or cloth. Wipe the boots clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Lacquer Wear: The lacquer finish on the soleplate is designed to wear off during play. This is normal and does not affect the boot's performance or durability. No specific care is needed for this.
