FAQs
What type of surface are these boots designed for?
These are Firm Ground (FG) football boots, optimized for use on natural grass pitches that are dry and slightly short, or on modern artificial grass surfaces.
What is the purpose of the burrito tongue?
The burrito tongue is a design feature inspired by Lionel Messi. It wraps around the foot to provide a more secure, locked-in feel and allows for a slightly wider fit.
Can I use these boots on a wet or muddy pitch?
It is not recommended to use FG boots on very wet or muddy pitches, as the stud configuration is not designed for those conditions and can lead to reduced performance and potential injury. Consider alternative soleplates like SG (Soft Ground) for such conditions.
How do I choose between the SL and Comfort sockliners?
The SL sockliner is thinner and lighter, offering a more direct feel of the ground and maximizing speed. The Comfort sockliner provides extra cushioning and impact absorption for longer matches or players who prefer more padding.
What does 'HybridTouch upper' mean?
HybridTouch is a material used for the upper of the boot. It combines the benefits of synthetic leather and suede, offering a soft feel, excellent touch on the ball, and durability.
Does the wear on the soleplate's lacquer affect performance?
No, the wear on the lacquer finish is purely cosmetic and does not impact the performance, grip, or structural integrity of the boot.
Are these boots suitable for players with wide feet?
The burrito tongue design offers a slightly wider fit than some traditional designs, which may be beneficial for players with wider feet. However, fit can vary, so trying them on is always recommended.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Try using the Comfort sockliner instead of the SL sockliner. Ensure laces are adjusted for a secure but not overly tight fit. Some break-in time may be required for the HybridTouch upper to adapt to your foot shape.
Loss of traction on the pitch
Ensure the boots are being used on appropriate firm ground surfaces. Clean any mud or debris from the studs. Check studs for excessive wear; if significantly worn, consider replacement.
Lacquer on soleplate is peeling off
This is a normal cosmetic wear and does not affect the performance or durability of the boot. Continue using as normal.
Stitching appears loose
Inspect the stitching carefully. If it is a minor cosmetic issue and does not affect the structural integrity of the boot, it may not require immediate attention. For significant structural issues, contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Unbox the boots and inspect them for any damage.
- Choose your preferred sockliner: the SL for maximum speed or the Comfort for extra cushioning.
- Insert the chosen sockliner into the boot.
- Ensure the laces are tied securely but comfortably, utilizing the burrito tongue for a snug fit.
Compatibility:
- These are Firm Ground (FG) football boots, designed for use on natural grass pitches that are dry and slightly short or artificial grass of the latest generation.
- Avoid using these boots on hard or wet surfaces, as this can damage the studs and affect performance.
Care:
- After each use, clean the boots with a damp cloth to remove dirt and mud.
- Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, to maintain their shape and condition.
- Periodically check the studs for wear and tear. The lacquer finish on the soleplate is cosmetic and may wear off during play; this is normal and does not affect the boot's performance.
