Extended Product Information

The adidas Copa Pure 2 Elite Soft Ground Football Boots excel in conditions where the pitch is wet and natural grass. The quilted Fusionskin leather forefoot is central to their performance, offering an immediate, plush connection with the ball, which translates to precise passing and controlled dribbling. When striking the ball, this material provides a clean, responsive feel. The specialist soft ground outsole is designed with specific stud patterns and lengths to dig into damp turf, preventing slips and allowing for sharp changes in direction. Players will find these boots provide confidence in slippery conditions, enabling them to maintain speed and stability. The removable soft ground studs are a key asset, allowing players to fine-tune their traction based on the exact pitch conditions, from slightly damp to very muddy. For example, a slightly longer stud configuration might be preferred on a particularly waterlogged pitch, while a shorter setup might suffice on a merely soft surface. The snug fit provided by the lace closure and U-throat collar ensures the foot is locked in, minimizing internal movement during explosive sprints or quick cuts. These boots are a prime choice for competitive matches on soft ground where every touch and pivot counts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions### Setup1. Lacing: Before your first wear, ensure the boots are laced correctly and securely. Use the lace closure to achieve a snug, comfortable fit that supports your foot without being too tight.2. Stud Adjustment: The boots come with removable soft ground studs and a stud key. Before playing, check that all studs are firmly tightened using the provided stud key. Depending on pitch conditions, you may adjust the stud configuration for optimal grip. Refer to best practices for tightening studs to avoid over-tightening or stripping threads.### CompatibilityThese boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches, which are typically natural grass surfaces that are wet or muddy. They are not recommended for use on firm ground (FG), artificial grass (AG), or indoor courts, as this can damage the studs, compromise traction, and potentially lead to injury.### Care1. Cleaning After Use: Immediately after playing, wipe off any excess mud or dirt from the boots using a damp cloth or soft brush. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.2. Leather Care: As the boots feature leather components (Fusionskin forefoot, leather vamp), proper care is crucial. After cleaning, allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can cause the leather to crack or stiffen. Consider applying a leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent drying out.3. Drying: If the boots become very wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Replace the newspaper regularly until dry.4. Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing to prevent mildew or odor.
