MAKE IT YOURS.
MAKE IT LAST.
Applying your Boot DNA personalisation is simple. Follow these four steps carefully for the best possible finish on your football boots.
For best results, apply Boot DNA stickers to clean, dry, smooth and firm areas of your boots. Avoid textured surfaces, knitted materials, heavily flexing areas and striking zones.
FOUR STEPS.
ONE UNIQUE PAIR.
Take your time with each step to help your personalisation bond correctly to your boots.
CLEAN
YOUR BOOTS.
Using the alcohol wipe provided in your Boot DNA pack, thoroughly clean the area where you want to apply your personalisation.
Remove any dirt, dust, grease or residue. Make sure the surface is completely dry before moving on.
Choose a smooth, firm section of your boots before starting. Avoid textured or knitted areas.
PEEL THE
TRANSFER.
Carefully peel away the backing from your Boot DNA transfer.
Make sure your entire design remains attached to the clear transfer layer. Take your time, especially with smaller letters or detailed designs.
If part of your design stays on the backing, gently lower the transfer back down, rub over it and try peeling again slowly.
POSITION
& PRESS.
Carefully position your Boot DNA transfer onto your chosen area of the football boot.
Once you're happy with the position, press down firmly and rub across the entire design for 10–20 seconds.
Pay particular attention to the edges, letters and smaller details.
Apply even pressure across the entire transfer to help the design adhere properly.
PEEL &
REVEAL.
After pressing your design into place, wait approximately 60 seconds before carefully peeling away the clear transfer layer.
Peel slowly and gently, keeping the transfer layer close to the surface. Your personalised design should remain on the boot.
If any part of the design starts lifting, stop peeling, press the transfer back down and rub firmly before trying again.
LET YOUR DESIGN
FULLY BOND.
Once applied, allow your Boot DNA personalisation to bond for at least 24 hours before wearing your boots for training or matches.
Avoid unnecessary rubbing, washing or heavy contact with the design during this period.
THE RIGHT SURFACE
MATTERS.
Football boots are made from different materials. Where you apply your personalisation can affect how well it adheres and lasts.
RECOMMENDED SURFACES
For the best results, choose:
- Smooth boot surfaces
- Firm, non-textured materials
- Clean and completely dry areas
- Areas with minimal bending or friction
SURFACES TO AVOID
Avoid applying transfers to:
- Heavily textured boot surfaces
- Knitted or fabric areas
- High-flex areas
- Striking zones and high-contact areas
PLEASE NOTE: Adhesion and durability can vary depending on boot material, surface texture, placement and use. Following these instructions helps achieve the best possible results.
