FAQs
What does 'FG' mean on these boots?
FG stands for 'Firm Ground', meaning these boots are designed for use on natural grass pitches that are dry or slightly damp.
Can I use these boots on artificial turf or indoor surfaces?
No, it is not recommended. The FG studs are specifically designed for natural grass and can cause excessive pressure on artificial turf, leading to discomfort, accelerated wear on the boots, and potential injury. For artificial turf, 'AG' (Artificial Ground) or 'TF' (Turf) boots are more suitable, and 'IC' (Indoor Court) for indoor surfaces.
How do I clean my Nike Premier 3 FG boots?
After each use, remove excess dirt and mud with a damp cloth or soft brush. Avoid using harsh soaps or detergents. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources. You can stuff them with newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather offers some natural water resistance, these boots are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions can cause the leather to absorb water. Proper drying and conditioning will help maintain their integrity.
How long do these boots typically last?
The lifespan of your boots depends on frequency of use, intensity of play, and proper care. With regular cleaning and maintenance, quality leather boots like the Premier 3 can last for multiple seasons for casual players, or one intense season for competitive players.
Should I order my usual shoe size?
Nike Premier 3 boots are generally considered to fit true to size. However, fit can vary slightly between individuals. If possible, trying them on or consulting Nike's official size guide is recommended for the most accurate fit.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too stiff or cause blisters during initial use.
This is common with leather boots. Ensure you've had a proper break-in period. Wear them for short periods during light activities, and consider wearing thicker socks initially. You can also use a boot stretcher or simply wear them around the house to help them mold to your feet.
Poor grip or slipping on the field.
Verify that you are playing on a firm ground natural grass pitch, for which these boots are designed. If the pitch is too wet or soft, you may need different stud types (SG). Also, check the studs for excessive wear; worn studs can reduce traction.
Leather appears dry, cracked, or stiff.
This often results from improper drying or lack of conditioning. Ensure you air-dry your boots away from direct heat. Apply a quality leather conditioner specifically for football boots to rehydrate and nourish the leather. Repeat periodically.
Unpleasant odor from the boots.
After each use, remove insoles (if removable) and allow boots to air out thoroughly. You can use odor-absorbing packets or a boot deodorizer spray. Avoid sealing damp boots in a bag.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
- First Wear: When first trying on your Nike Premier 3 FG boots, ensure you wear the type of socks you typically play in. Lace them up fully to assess the fit.
- Break-in Period: Leather boots often require a short break-in period. Wear them for light training sessions or casual use before full-intensity matches. This allows the leather to mold to your foot shape for optimal comfort.
- Lacing: Experiment with lacing patterns to find the most secure and comfortable fit for your foot. Ensure laces are tied firmly but not excessively tight to avoid pressure points.
Compatibility
- Playing Surface: These boots are designed exclusively for firm ground (FG) natural grass pitches. They are not recommended for use on artificial turf (AG), soft ground (SG), or indoor surfaces.
- Player Type: Ideal for players who prioritize comfort, a classic feel, and precise ball control.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your leather boots:
- Cleaning After Each Use: After every game or training, wipe off excess dirt and mud using a damp cloth or soft brush. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can cause the leather to crack or stiffen.
- Stuffing: Stuff the boots with newspaper or a shoe tree after cleaning to help them retain their shape and absorb any internal moisture.
- Conditioning (Optional): Periodically apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for football boots to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. Follow the product's instructions.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place, away from extreme temperatures. A boot bag can help protect them during transport.
