These boots are specifically designed for Astro Turf (TF) surfaces. The rubber outsole provides optimal grip and durability on artificial grass pitches. Using them on natural grass, firm ground, or indoor courts may compromise performance and accelerate wear.
Cleaning after use: After each use, wipe off any dirt or mud from the upper and sole with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct sunlight or use artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers), as this can damage the synthetic materials.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place. Consider using shoe trees or stuffing them with newspaper to help maintain their shape.
Refer to Label: Always consult the product label inside the boot for specific care instructions provided by Nike. The general composition is Upper: synthetics. Lining: synthetics. Sole: rubber.
