THE Boot.
Seven components. Each one chosen for a reason you can name. Scroll to take it apart.
UPPER
PU MICROFIBRE · VAMP 0.9MM / QUARTER 1.2MM
UPPER
PU MICROFIBRE · VAMP 0.9MM / QUARTER 1.2MM
Synthetic microfibre that stays supple from 22°C to 38°C. The vamp is thinner for touch; the quarter is thicker for lockdown. It does not turn into cardboard in the afternoon.
HEEL COUNTER
TPEE THERMOPLASTIC · 1.5MM
A real, moulded heel counter. TPEE returns to shape after every sprint — TPU fatigues. The difference is whether your heel is still locked at hour three.
SOLEPLATE
TPU 75 SHORE A · VARIABLE THICKNESS
Stiff under the forefoot for push-off, flexible at the toe for natural roll. 75 Shore A is the sweet spot for AG turf — not the brittle plates tuned for firm European grass.
STUDS
14 CONICAL · 5.5 / 6.5 / 7.0MM VARIABLE
Conical, not bladed, so they release cleanly from rubber crumb. Three heights across three zones, calibrated for 10–20mm Indian infill — not 22–30mm European turf.
INSOLE
ORTHOLITE + PORON HEEL POD
OrthoLite for breathable, rebounding cushioning; a PORON pod under the heel for impact. Removable, washable, replaceable.
LAST
97MM BALL WIDTH · INDIA-SPECIFIC
The shape the whole boot is built around. Measured from real Indian feet — 97mm at the ball, where most boots sit at 89mm and quietly compress every stride.
CONSTRUCTION
CEMENTED · SLIP-LASTED · PU ADHESIVE
Slip-lasted for a closer, sock-like fit, then cemented with PU adhesive that holds through heat and sweat. No staples, no shortcuts at the bond line.
