FAQs
What type of playing surface are these boots suitable for?
These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG), meaning natural grass pitches that are dry and firm. They are not recommended for artificial turf or soft ground.
What is the 'HybridTouch' upper made of?
HybridTouch is adidas's next-generation synthetic suede and foil combination. It is engineered for lightweight comfort, support, and an enhanced touch on the ball.
How do the 'Strikeskin' elements improve my game?
The Strikeskin rubber fins are strategically placed on the upper to provide increased friction and purchase on the ball, which helps you achieve greater precision and swerve when striking or passing.
Can I machine wash these football boots?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these boots as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure. Always clean them by hand with a damp cloth and air dry.
Do these boots incorporate recycled materials?
Yes, these boots are made in part with recycled materials, reflecting a commitment to sustainability.
What is the purpose of the foldover tongue?
The foldover tongue provides a more integrated fit and feel, enhancing comfort and ensuring a secure, locked-down sensation around your foot during play.
How does the ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate benefit my performance?
The ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate is engineered for agility, speed, and stability on firm ground. Its specially shaped studs provide multidirectional traction, allowing for quick changes of direction and powerful push-offs.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. The boots have a 'regular fit', so allow for a short break-in period during light activities. If discomfort persists, consider checking if the fit aligns with your foot width.
Loss of traction during play.
Verify that you are playing on a Firm Ground (FG) surface. These boots are specifically designed for firm natural grass. Playing on soft ground or artificial turf will compromise traction and potentially damage the studs. Clean the soleplate regularly to remove any embedded debris.
Material showing premature wear or scuffs.
Ensure proper care by cleaning boots after each use and air-drying them. Avoid dragging feet excessively, and be mindful of playing on surfaces other than firm ground, which can cause excessive wear. While durable, synthetic materials can scuff with heavy use.
Boots develop an unpleasant odor.
Remove insoles after play to allow them and the boots to air out thoroughly. Stuff boots with newspaper to absorb moisture. Use anti-odor sprays or foot powder if necessary. Ensure boots are fully dry before storage.

Care Instructions
Proper care extends the lifespan and maintains the performance of your boots.
- Cleaning After Use: Immediately after each use, wipe off any mud, dirt, or debris with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a soft brush. Avoid abrasive cleaners or stiff brushes that could damage the HybridTouch upper.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct sunlight, radiators, or other heat sources, as this can cause the material to crack or stiffen. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Avoid storing them in damp or humid environments, which can promote odor and material degradation.
- Avoid Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, solvents, or bleach on the boots, as these can damage the synthetic materials and adhesives.
