Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable

The NIKESKIN upper is designed to be pliable. Wear the boots for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly, not overly tight.

Traction feels insufficient on artificial turf

Ensure the outsole studs are clean and free of debris. The traction pattern is optimized for specific artificial turf types; performance may vary slightly based on turf condition.

Zoom Air unit feels unresponsive

The Zoom Air unit's responsiveness is designed to engage with impact. Ensure you are using them on the intended surface (artificial turf) as designed.

Nylon upper shows signs of wear quickly

Avoid using the boots on surfaces other than artificial turf. Clean and care for the material as recommended to prolong its lifespan.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These football boots are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure they are laced up securely to your preference for a snug fit. The lace-up closure allows for adjustable tightness across the foot.

Compatibility: Designed specifically for artificial turf (TF) surfaces. They are not recommended for use on firm ground (FG), soft ground (SG), or indoor (IC) courts, as this may affect performance and shoe longevity.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
  2. Drying: Allow 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 protect them from dust and damage.
