FAQs
What type of pitches are these boots best suited for?
These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches, which are typically natural grass fields that are wet, muddy, or heavily watered. They are not recommended for firm ground, artificial turf, or indoor surfaces.
Do these boots require a break-in period?
No, the FlyTouch Lite engineered upper is designed to provide immediate comfort and a consistent fit with zero break-in time. It molds to your foot without overstretching.
How does the Anti-Clog technology work?
Anti-Clog Traction prevents mud from sticking to the soleplate. The material used repels mud, ensuring your boots remain lightweight and that you maintain optimal, consistent grip even in the muddiest conditions.
Are spare studs or a stud key included with the boots?
No, spare metal-tipped studs are not included with the boots. A stud key, which is necessary for tightening and replacing studs, is also sold separately.
What is the 'FlyTouch Lite' upper made of?
The FlyTouch Lite engineered upper is a soft, advanced synthetic material. It's engineered to mimic the close feel and benefits of natural leather, offering superior ball control and comfort, without the typical downsides like overstretching or lengthy break-in.
Can I use these boots on artificial turf (AG) or firm ground (FG)?
No, it is strongly advised against using these SG Pro boots on artificial turf or firm ground. The metal-tipped studs are too aggressive for these surfaces, which can damage the pitch, cause excessive wear to the boots, and significantly increase your risk of injury.
Are these boots suitable for all weather conditions on soft ground?
Yes, they are specifically designed for wet and muddy soft ground conditions. The Anti-Clog technology and stud configuration are optimized to provide excellent performance and traction in such environments, making them ideal for challenging weather.
Troubleshooting
Mud still accumulates on the soleplate despite Anti-Clog technology.
While Anti-Clog significantly reduces mud buildup, extremely heavy or very sticky mud conditions may still result in some accumulation. Ensure boots are clean before play. After use, thoroughly clear any remaining mud from the soleplate and studs with a brush and water to maintain optimal performance.
Studs feel loose or appear to be falling out during play.
Regularly check all metal-tipped studs. Use a stud key (sold separately) to tighten them securely before each use. If studs are worn down, damaged, or lost, replace them promptly to ensure proper traction and prevent injury. (Note: Spare studs are not included).
Experiencing discomfort, rubbing, or blisters during or after play.
Ensure you have the correct boot size and width. Although the FlyTouch Lite upper requires minimal break-in, make sure your socks are appropriate for football. Adjust your lacing technique to secure your foot firmly without excessive tightness. If discomfort persists, consult a professional for a proper fitting.
Poor traction or slipping on the pitch.
Verify that you are playing on a soft ground (SG) pitch, as these boots are not designed for other surfaces. Inspect your studs for wear or damage; worn studs reduce grip. Ensure all studs are present and tightened correctly. Mud accumulation (even if minimal) can also reduce traction, so keep soleplates clean.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure boots are laced snugly but comfortably to secure your foot without restricting circulation. Experiment with different lacing patterns if you experience pressure points.
- Stud Adjustment: Before first use and periodically thereafter, check that all metal-tipped studs are securely tightened. Use a stud key (sold separately) to adjust or tighten studs as needed for optimal grip on varying soft ground conditions.
Compatibility
- Pitch Type: These boots are exclusively designed for soft ground (SG) pitches. This includes natural grass fields that are wet, muddy, or heavily watered.
- Avoid Other Surfaces: Do not use these boots on firm ground (FG), artificial turf (AG), or indoor courts. Doing so can damage the studs, reduce traction, and may increase the risk of injury.
Care
- Immediate Cleaning: After each use, remove as much mud and dirt as possible. Focus on the soleplate and studs to maintain the effectiveness of the Anti-Clog technology.
- Gentle Wash: Use a soft brush (e.g., an old toothbrush) and a damp cloth with mild soap and water to clean the upper and soleplate. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Air Dry: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Stud Maintenance: Regularly inspect metal-tipped studs for wear or damage. Replace worn or broken studs promptly using a stud key. (Note: Spare studs are not included and stud keys are sold separately).
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
