Ideal Conditions: These boots are specifically designed for firm ground (FG) pitches, which are typically natural grass fields that are dry and well-maintained. Using them on other surfaces (e.g., artificial turf, wet/muddy ground) can compromise performance, durability, and potentially cause injury.
Setup:
Unpack: Remove the boots from their packaging.
Lacing: Loosen the laces sufficiently to allow your foot to slide in comfortably.
Insert Foot: Place your foot inside the boot, ensuring your heel is snug against the back.
Adjust Tongue: Position the foldover tongue flat and secure its strap if applicable.
Lace Up: Tighten the laces evenly from bottom to top, ensuring a secure yet comfortable fit without excessive pressure points. Double-knot for security during play.
Break-in (Optional but Recommended): Wear the boots for short periods during light training sessions before a full match to allow them to mold to your feet.
Compatibility:
These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches. This includes natural grass fields that are dry to moderately wet.
Do not use on Artificial Ground (AG), Soft Ground (SG), or Indoor (IC/IN) surfaces, as this can damage the soleplate, reduce performance, and void warranty.
Care:
Cleaning After Use: After each use, remove loose dirt and mud by gently tapping the boots together. Use a soft brush or damp cloth to wipe down the upper and soleplate. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, dryers) as this can damage materials and adhesives. Stuff with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a boot bag can protect them during transport.
Inspection: Regularly inspect studs for wear and tear.
