These trainers are built for the fast-paced, technical demands of indoor football and five-a-side games. The full-grain leather upper is a standout, allowing for a precise touch on the ball, vital for intricate passing and close control in tight indoor spaces. Players will notice an immediate connection with the ball, which improves with wear as the leather adapts to the foot's shape. The non-marking gum rubber outsole is critical for indoor performance, providing exceptional grip on polished courts, enabling quick changes of direction and explosive acceleration without slipping. The pre-molded EVA midsole offers consistent cushioning, reducing fatigue during intense matches and providing comfort for longer sessions. The reinforced toe protection is a practical feature for indoor play where toe-pokes and shots are common, ensuring the trainers withstand regular impact. Their classic black and white design not only looks professional but also stands the test of time, making them a reliable choice for evening soccer leagues and indoor tournaments.
Initial Fit Check: When you first receive your trainers, try them on with the socks you typically wear for playing. Lace them up securely, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit. Walk around and perform some light movements to assess comfort, especially given the "narrow, glove-like fit."
Break-in Period: Like all leather footwear, these trainers may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter periods during practice sessions to allow the full-grain leather to mold to your foot shape for optimal comfort and ball feel.
Surfaces: These trainers are specifically designed for indoor surfaces. This includes polished gym floors, indoor courts, and artificial indoor turf (short pile).
Activities: Ideal for evening soccer and five-a-side games where quick movements and precise ball control are key. They are not recommended for outdoor natural grass or artificial turf (long pile) as the outsole is not designed for those conditions.
Cleaning the Leather Upper: After each use, wipe down the leather upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Drying: If your trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can dry out and crack the leather. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Outsole Cleaning: Use a brush to remove any dust or residue from the non-marking gum rubber outsole to maintain optimal grip.
Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
