FAQs

What does SG-PRO AC mean?

SG stands for Soft Ground, indicating the boot is designed for wet, muddy pitches. PRO refers to a higher level of performance specification within the line. AC likely refers to 'Anti-Clog' technology, designed to prevent mud from sticking to the sole plate.

Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?

No, these Soft Ground boots are not recommended for artificial grass. The studs can be too long and aggressive for artificial surfaces, potentially causing injury or damaging the pitch.

How long do the cushioned inner soles typically last?

The durability of the cushioned inner sole depends on usage frequency and intensity. With proper care and regular play, they should provide comfort for a full playing season or longer.

Can I wash these boots in a washing machine?

No, it is not recommended to wash these boots in a washing machine, as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and structural integrity of the boot.

What is the primary advantage of the anti-clog technology?

The anti-clog technology helps to repel mud and prevent it from accumulating on the soleplate and studs, ensuring consistent traction and lighter weight throughout the game on wet pitches.

Do these boots run true to size?

Nike boots generally run true to size for most players. However, it is always recommended to try them on if possible or consult sizing charts and reviews for specific fit feedback.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure laces are adjusted correctly. If the tightness persists after a few wears, they may need a longer break-in period. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase.

Lack of traction on dry ground

These boots are designed for soft ground. For dry or firm ground, consider using a different pair of boots with appropriate stud configurations (e.g., FG - Firm Ground).

Studs are clogged with mud

Gently clean the studs with a brush after each use. For persistent clogs, use a stick or pointed object to carefully dislodge mud from the stud base.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the laces are tied securely for a proper fit.

Compatibility: These boots are designed for Soft Ground (SG) surfaces, typically found on natural grass pitches that are wet and muddy. They are not recommended for use on artificial turf, firm ground, or indoor courts, as the stud pattern is optimized for loose conditions and may cause discomfort or damage on harder surfaces.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, remove excess mud by brushing with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the boots in water.
  2. Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, to maintain their shape and protect them from dust and moisture.
