Lacing: Ensure boots are laced snugly but not overly tight. Start from the bottom eyelets and work your way up, pulling gently to secure the fit. The Dynamic Fit collar should sit comfortably around your ankle.
Stud Check: Before each use, inspect the adjustable metal-tipped studs. Ensure they are clean and securely tightened. An included stud wrench (not always with Academy models, > Info needed: confirm if stud wrench is included with this specific Academy model) is typically used for tightening or replacing studs.
Break-in: For optimal comfort and to mold the NIKESKIN upper to your foot, wear the boots for a few light training sessions before a full match. This helps prevent discomfort.
Pitch Type: These boots are specifically designed for Soft Ground (SG) pitches. This includes natural grass fields that are wet, muddy, or heavily saturated. Using them on firm ground (FG), artificial grass (AG), or indoor surfaces is not recommended as it can damage the studs, cause discomfort, and void warranty.
Age Group: These boots are designed for adult players.
Gender: This model is unisex.
Cleaning After Use: Immediately after playing, wipe off excess mud and dirt using a soft brush or damp cloth. For tougher mud, use a mild soap and water solution.
Stud Maintenance: Regularly check metal studs for wear and tear. Replace any worn or damaged studs promptly to maintain optimal grip and prevent injury. Clean stud threads before re-inserting or replacing.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the materials and adhesives. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using a boot bag to protect them during transport.
Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash or tumble dry your football boots, as this will damage the materials.
