These boots are specifically designed for Artificial Grass (AG) pitches. They are compatible with all standard AG surfaces. While they may feel comfortable, their performance characteristics and stud configuration are not suited for natural firm ground (FG), soft ground (SG), or indoor (IC) courts. This specific model is an adult size UK 8 and is suitable for unisex adult players.
To prolong the life and performance of your boots:
Cleaning: After each use, wipe off dirt and debris with a damp cloth. For stubborn mud, use a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. You can use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
Inspection: Regularly check studs for wear and tear, and the upper for any signs of damage.
