FAQs
What type of pitch are these boots suitable for?
These are Firm Ground (FG) football boots, designed for use on natural grass pitches that are slightly dry and well-maintained.
How does the TechLeather upper differ from traditional leather?
TechLeather is synthetic, offering a softer, lighter feel that is less prone to stretching and provides more consistent touch in both wet and dry conditions compared to traditional leather.
Will the animal print pattern fade?
The design is part of the boot's aesthetic. While the lacquer finish on some elements may wear, the underlying print is durable for play.
How do I ensure the best fit with the TechKnit collar?
The TechKnit collar is designed to provide a dynamic, glove-like fit. Ensure the laces are tied securely but comfortably to allow the collar to perform as intended.
Can I wash these boots?
It is not recommended to machine wash or fully submerge the boots in water. Clean them with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry naturally.
What does '360Wrap' do?
The 360Wrap technology extends the upper coverage around the boot, enhancing ball control and providing a more secure, locked-in feel.
Are these boots suitable for players of all positions?
The design focuses on control, agility, and responsiveness, making them suitable for a wide range of players across different positions.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff on first wear
The TechLeather upper is designed to be softer and lighter. Wear them for short periods during training sessions to allow them to naturally mold to your foot shape.
Traction feels inconsistent on a particular pitch
These boots are optimized for firm ground. Performance may vary on pitches with different soil types or moisture levels. Ensure the studs are clean and free from debris.
Lacquer finish is wearing off
This is a normal cosmetic effect of play and does not impact the boot's performance or structural integrity. Continue to use the boots as normal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After use, gently brush off any excess dirt or mud with a soft brush. Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe down the upper and soleplate. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the boots in water.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources such as radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
- Lacquer Finish: Be aware that the lacquer finish on certain elements may show signs of wear during play. This is a cosmetic effect and does not compromise the boot's performance or durability.
