The Nike Zoom Mercurial Vapor 16 Pro FG is built for players who rely on speed, agility, and precise ball control. On firm natural grass pitches, the FG sole unit provides aggressive traction, allowing for rapid acceleration, sharp cuts, and quick turns without slipping. The leather upper adapts to the foot over time, offering a personalized and comfortable fit that enhances your touch on the ball. This is crucial for accurate passing, dribbling, and powerful shooting.

Ball Control: The leather construction provides a natural, soft touch, aiding in close control during dribbling and receiving passes.
Directional Changes: The stud pattern is designed to facilitate quick changes of direction, essential for evading defenders or creating space.
Shooting Accuracy: A snug fit and clean striking surface contribute to more powerful and accurate shots on goal.
Match Day Readiness: Ideal for competitive matches and high-intensity training sessions on appropriate natural grass surfaces.
Initial Fit: When first trying on the boots, ensure they fit snugly but comfortably. Your toes should be close to the end, but not touching uncomfortably.
Lacing: Lace them up fully and securely. Experiment with lacing patterns to find the most comfortable and locked-down fit for your foot shape.
Break-in: As these are leather boots, they may require a short break-in period. Wear them for light training sessions or casual use before full-intensity games to allow the leather to mould to your feet.
Ground Type: These boots are exclusively designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches. This refers to natural grass fields that are dry and firm.
Avoid Other Surfaces: Using FG boots on artificial turf (AG), soft ground (SG), or indoor surfaces can damage the boots, the playing surface, and may increase the risk of injury due to improper traction.
Clean After Use: After each use, wipe off any mud or debris with a damp cloth. Use a soft brush for stubborn dirt on the soleplate and studs.
Remove Insole: If possible, remove the insoles to air out the inside of the boots and prevent odor buildup.
Air Dry: Always air dry your boots at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, or tumble dryers, as excessive heat can damage the leather and adhesives.
Stuffing: Stuff the boots with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape while drying.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag or box, away from extreme temperatures. Do not store them in direct sunlight or sealed plastic bags for extended periods.
