FAQs

What does SG-PRO mean?

SG-PRO stands for Soft Ground - Professional. It indicates a stud configuration specifically designed for maximum grip on very wet and muddy natural grass pitches.

Can I use these boots on artificial grass?

No, these SG-PRO boots are not designed for artificial grass (AG). Using them on AG can lead to poor performance, discomfort, and potential damage to the boots and the playing surface.

How do I clean the boots after a muddy game?

After playing, gently brush off excess mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. Rinse with cool water if necessary, but avoid soaking the boots. Allow them to air dry naturally away from heat.

What is the main advantage of the cushioned inner sole?

The cushioned inner sole provides enhanced comfort during play by absorbing impact and reducing pressure on the foot, helping to prevent fatigue during long matches or intense training sessions.

Are these boots suitable for players with wide feet?

The Legend series generally offers a standard fit. Players with significantly wide feet might find them snug. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consider models known for a wider fit.

What size UK shoe should I order if I'm a US size 10?

For Nike footwear, a US Men's size 10 typically corresponds to a UK Men's size 9. However, it is always best to consult the Nike sizing chart for precise conversions, as fit can vary slightly.

Do these boots come with extra studs?

Some SG-PRO models may include a stud wrench, but spare studs are not always included. Check the product packaging upon receipt. If spare studs are needed, they can often be purchased separately.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Wear the boots with thin soccer socks for initial wear. If still too tight after a few wears, consider a half-size larger or a wider fitting model if available.

Traction is poor on firm ground

These boots are designed for soft ground. Using them on firm ground will reduce effectiveness and can damage the studs. Consider purchasing a different boot model with FG (Firm Ground) or Multi-Ground (MG) studs for other surfaces.

Mud gets excessively caked on

Clean thoroughly after each use with a brush and water. Allow to dry completely before storing. Applying a water-repellent spray (suitable for footwear) can help reduce mud adhesion.

Inner sole feels uncomfortable

Ensure the inner sole is correctly positioned. If discomfort persists, consider using aftermarket insoles designed for athletic footwear, ensuring they fit the boot profile.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These boots are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for a snug, comfortable fit. The SG-PRO studs are designed for soft ground; for other surfaces, consider alternative stud types or a stud replacement kit if compatible.

Compatibility: Primarily designed for soft ground (SG) pitches, including wet grass and muddy fields. They are not recommended for firm grass, artificial turf (AG), or indoor courts as the studs may cause damage or provide inadequate traction.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, remove excess mud and dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Stuff the boots with newspaper to absorb moisture and help them retain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
  3. Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a breathable boot bag, to prevent mold and maintain material integrity. Ensure studs are clean before storage.
