Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure the laces are securely fastened. The boots feature a lace closure system, allowing you to adjust the fit to your preference.
- Tongue Adjustment: Unfold the larger tongue, slide your foot in, and then fold the tongue back over the laces. Secure it in place with the integrated strap.
- Break-in: While the HybridTouch material is designed for comfort, a short break-in period of 1-2 training sessions is recommended to allow the boots to mold to your feet.
Compatibility
- Ground Type: These boots are designed exclusively for Firm Ground (FG) pitches. This refers to natural grass fields that are relatively dry and firm.
- User: Suitable for adult male and female players (unisex).
- Usage: Ideal for competitive matches and regular training sessions on appropriate surfaces.
Care
Proper care extends the lifespan and maintains the performance of your boots:
- Cleaning After Use: Immediately after playing, remove loose dirt and mud from the upper and soleplate using a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
- Washing: For deeper cleaning, wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Do not submerge the boots in water or wash them in a machine.
- 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 damage the materials.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place, ideally with boot trees or crumpled newspaper inside to help maintain their shape and absorb any residual moisture.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use strong detergents, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the HybridTouch material and Strikeskin elements.
