These shoes are built for dynamic play on artificial turf. The aggressive traction allows young players to accelerate quickly, stop on a dime, and make sharp cuts, giving them an advantage in tight spaces and during fast breaks. The lightweight synthetic upper ensures that players feel agile and unencumbered, while the allover texturing provides a consistent and reliable touch on the ball, vital for precise passes, dribbles, and shots. For example, during a fast counter-attack, a player wearing these boots can confidently change direction to evade a defender, then maintain close control to set up a shot, feeling every contact with the ball. The cushioned insole helps absorb impact, keeping players comfortable through extended training sessions and matches. They are ideal for attacking players, wingers, or any player who relies on their speed and agility to impact the game on turf.
Simply put them on and lace them up securely. Ensure laces are tied tightly but comfortably to prevent slipping and provide optimal support.
These boots are specifically designed for Turf (TF) surfaces, also known as artificial grass pitches with short rubber pellets. They are not recommended for natural grass (FG), soft ground (SG), or indoor (IC) courts, as this can reduce performance and accelerate wear.
After each use, knock off loose dirt and debris.
Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used gently.
For the leather components, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner periodically to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Remove insoles to air out if they become excessively wet or sweaty.
Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can dry out and damage leather.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
