FAQs

Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?

Yes, the FG/MG designation means they are designed to perform effectively on both firm natural grass and artificial grass surfaces.

How do I determine the correct size?

These boots follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose the size that matches your regular athletic footwear, allowing for a small amount of space at the toe.

Can I use these on wet or muddy pitches?

While they provide good traction, FG/MG boots are best suited for firm or artificial ground. For extremely muddy conditions, soft-ground boots with longer studs are typically preferred.

How should I clean the leather upper?

Wipe with a slightly damp cloth after each use. Avoid submerging the boots in water, as this can damage the leather structure.

What is the primary difference between the Academy and other models?

The Academy series is designed to offer a balance of performance and value, utilizing durable materials suitable for consistent training and match play.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too stiff when new

Leather requires a break-in period. Wear them for short sessions or during training to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot shape.

Accumulated dirt on the soleplate affecting traction

Use a stiff-bristled brush to clear debris from the stud configuration after every match to maintain optimal grip.

Laces coming undone during play

Use a double knot or ensure the laces are tightened evenly from the eyelets closest to the toe upward before securing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your boots last through the season, focus on proper fit and maintenance. When putting on the boots, ensure the laces are fully loosened before sliding your foot in to avoid stretching the heel counter. These boots are compatible with both natural grass (FG) and artificial grass (MG) pitches. After each use, remove excess mud or dirt using a soft brush. If the leather becomes wet, stuff the boots with newspaper and allow them to air dry slowly at room temperature; avoid direct heat sources like radiators, as these can crack and harden the leather. Regularly applying a leather conditioner will help keep the upper soft and prevent premature cracking.
