Studs: Soft Ground boots arrive with a tightening tool. It is important to tighten studs before using your boots for the first time.
Knock off loose mud to remove dirt from uppers and studs
Wipe down with a damp cloth using cool water (not hot water)
Stuff boots with newspaper or paper towels to retain shape and absorb moisture—excess moisture can weaken seams and cause the uppers to separate from the soleplate.
Condition leather with beeswax or leather balm
Check and replace studs
Let the boots air dry (avoid heat sources) for 24-48 hours
Store boots in a dry, ventilated environment to prevent mold or mildew - ventilated boot bagswork well

"Honestly probably the best feeling boot I've worn right out of the box (20 years of soccer and 4 of rugby). Fit and performance are A+! 100% recommended."
— Shifty (5/5)
Great while they last
"Maybe I was just unlucky, but after only 3 months of use the left boot is separating from the sole and the toe leather has rubbed off. I tried going through WRC for the exchange, but it's outside of the 30 day policy. Going through the warranty claim with Adidas is the worst and I think I'm just going to have to take the loss on this one. They're great while they last, but not the quality I've come to expect from Adidas."
— Abel E. (3/5)
I received the wrong gloves
"I received the wrong gloves and the wrong size that I had not ordered."
— Cristian M. (5/5)
Cleats
"You don’t really got to break them in."
— Usaia A. (5/5)
Heel Cup Still a Problem
"For the most part they are great boots and break in time will vary. The one thing that these seem to carry over from the Kakari days is the heel cup takes more time to break in than the rest of the boot. I still get blisters, but it seems to be improving as they break in more. The rest fo the boot is true to Adidas excellence; they fit really well."
— Abel E. (4/5)
Excellent customer service and extremely
"Excellent customer service and extremely fast shipping thanks again."

Great leather cleats
"Excellent cleats Very happy to see adidas offering leather"
— James D. (5/5)
Q&A
How is the fit on this, is it ultra slim or more relaxed? Does the leather break in on this one for a medium wide foot? I've had Adidas backs boots in the past that were way too narrow and rigid. I don't have wide feet either. Switched to leather soccer boots for this reason, first time seeing this in a rugby kicking style boot.
Thanks for asking. We are finding that this boot fits more relaxed or true to size as you would say. The leather should break in after a few wears. You would be happily surprised with this one.
