Whether you're making a darting run into the box or shielding the ball, these boots are built to provide the edge needed for elite performance on challenging soft ground.
Setup and First Use:- Lacing: Ensure the laces are securely tied, but not overly tight, to provide a snug fit without restricting circulation. The Dynamic Fit collar should fit snugly around your ankle.- Stud Adjustment: Before first use, check that all metal-tipped studs are securely tightened. Some players may opt to adjust stud length based on pitch conditions, though typically they come optimized for general soft ground play.- Break-in Period: For optimal comfort and to mold the NIKESKIN upper to your foot, wear the boots during light training sessions or warm-ups before a full match.Compatibility:- Pitch Type: These boots are exclusively designed for Soft Ground (SG Pro) pitches, which are typically wet, muddy, or natural grass.- Surface Warning: DO NOT use these boots on Firm Ground (FG), Artificial Grass (AG), or indoor surfaces. The aggressive stud configuration is not suitable and can lead to injury, damage to the pitch, or damage to the boots.Care and Maintenance:- Post-Match Cleaning: Immediately after use, remove excess mud and dirt using a soft brush or damp cloth. For stubborn mud, especially on the soleplate, use a gentle stream of water. Avoid high-pressure washers as they can damage the materials.- AntiClog Care: While AntiClog technology reduces mud buildup, a quick wipe down after use will maintain its effectiveness.- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, dryers) as this can cause the materials to crack or shrink. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help retain their shape.- Stud Maintenance: Regularly inspect the metal-tipped studs for wear or looseness. Tighten or replace worn studs as needed using a stud wrench. Keep spare studs on hand for optimal performance.- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag to protect them from dust and damage.
