Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the proper use, care, and maintenance of your PUMA Evopower Vigor 4 TT Jr kids soccer cleats. Please read this manual thoroughly to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the product.
Setup and First Use

- Initial Fit: Have the user try on the cleats with their usual soccer socks. Walk around to ensure comfort and proper sizing. The fit should be secure but not overly tight.
Usage Guidelines
- Intended Use: These cleats are designed for use on artificial turf (TT - Turf Training) surfaces. Using them on other surfaces (e.g., natural grass, indoor courts, street) may reduce performance and accelerate wear.
- Proper Footwear: Always wear appropriate athletic socks to prevent blisters and enhance comfort.
- Break-in Period: New cleats may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow them to conform to the foot.
- Secure Lacing: Before each use, ensure laces are tied securely to prevent slippage and provide ankle support.
Care and Maintenance
Proper care extends the life of your cleats and maintains their performance.
- Cleaning After Use:
- Remove loose dirt and debris from the upper and soleplate using a soft brush or cloth.
- Wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

- Drying:
- Allow cleats to air dry naturally at room temperature.
- Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources (e.g., radiators, hair dryers) as this can damage the materials.
- Stuff with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain shape.
- Storage: Store cleats in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Discomfort/Blisters | Improper fit, new cleats (break-in period), incorrect socks. | Ensure proper sizing and lacing. Allow for break-in. Wear appropriate athletic socks. |
| Reduced Grip | Dirt/mud buildup on soleplate, worn-out studs. | Clean soleplate thoroughly after each use. If studs are excessively worn, consider replacement. |
| Odor | Moisture and bacteria buildup. | Ensure cleats are fully dried after each use. Use shoe deodorizers or baking soda. |
