These football shoes are specifically designed for artificial turf (TF) surfaces. They are not recommended for use on natural grass (firm ground or soft ground) or indoor courts, as this can affect performance and durability. This particular model is sized for kids (6 UK).
Proper care will extend the life of your boots:
Cleaning: After each use, remove any loose dirt or debris using a soft brush or damp cloth. For tougher grime, wipe down the entire boot with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators), as this can damage the materials.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees or crumpled newspaper inside can help maintain their shape.
Non-marking Outsole: The outsole is designed to be non-marking, making it suitable for artificial turf without leaving scuffs.
