FAQs
What does FG/MG mean for these boots?
FG/MG stands for Firm Ground/Multi-Ground. This means the boots are designed to perform optimally on natural grass pitches (firm ground) and on newer generations of artificial grass pitches (multi-ground).
Can I use these boots on older artificial turf (AG) or indoor surfaces?
While technically possible, it is not recommended. Using FG/MG studs on older AG pitches or hard indoor surfaces can cause excessive wear to the studs, reduce your stability, and potentially cause injury due to improper traction.
How do I clean my Nike Mercurial Superfly 10 Academy boots?
After use, wipe off dirt with a damp cloth and a soft brush for stubborn mud. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Do I need to break in these boots?
Yes, it is advisable to break in any new football boots. Wear them during lighter training sessions to allow the materials to adapt to your foot's shape and to prevent discomfort or blisters during competitive play.
What is the benefit of the 'springy underfoot feel'?
The springy underfoot feel provides additional cushioning and responsiveness, which helps in returning energy to your stride. This can enhance comfort during long sessions and contribute to more dynamic, explosive movements on the pitch.
Are these boots waterproof?
While the material offers some resistance to moisture, these boots are not fully waterproof. Playing in wet conditions may result in some water penetration, and it's important to dry them properly afterward.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too stiff or cause blisters.
This is common with new boots. Ensure you properly break them in during light training sessions. Wear appropriate, moisture-wicking football socks. If discomfort persists, check your lacing technique or consider trying different insoles.
Loss of grip on the pitch.
Verify that you are using the boots on suitable FG/MG surfaces. Check the studs for any lodged debris or excessive wear. Clean the outsole thoroughly to ensure maximum stud exposure.
Unpleasant odor from the boots.
After each use, allow the boots to air out completely. Remove insoles if possible for better ventilation. Use a specific boot deodorizer spray or place natural odor absorbers (like cedar balls or baking soda in a sachet) inside when storing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure laces are tied securely but not too tightly to allow for comfortable foot movement.
- Breaking In: It's recommended to break in new boots during lighter training sessions before competitive matches. This allows the materials to mold to your foot shape, reducing discomfort.
Compatibility
- These boots are designated FG/MG, meaning they are suitable for use on Firm Ground (natural grass pitches) and Multi-Ground surfaces (newer generation artificial turf and natural grass).
- Using these boots on abrasive surfaces like older artificial turf (AG) or hard ground (HG) can damage the studs and reduce the boot's lifespan and performance.
Care
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe off dirt and mud with a damp cloth. For stubborn mud, use a soft brush. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can cause the materials to crack or stiffen.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place. Using a boot bag can protect them during transport.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, air out the boots thoroughly. Boot deodorizers or natural odor absorbers (like baking soda in a sock) can also be used.
