Compatibility:
These boots are Multi-Ground (FG/MG), meaning they are designed to perform optimally on both natural firm ground pitches and artificial grass surfaces. Avoid using them on extremely hard ground or indoor courts, as this can cause premature wear and tear.
Care:
Cleaning After Use: After each use, gently brush off loose dirt and debris. Use a damp cloth with mild soap (if needed) to wipe down the upper and soleplate. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Air dry your boots at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct sunlight or use artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers) as this can damage the materials.
Deodorizing: Insert cedar shoe trees or newspaper into the boots to absorb moisture and maintain shape. A foot deodorizer spray can help keep them fresh.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. A boot bag can protect them during transport.
