Your Nike Air Zoom Mercurial Superfly X Academy SG Pro Anti Clog boots come with durable, adjustable metal-tipped studs already inserted. While spares are not included, you can adjust or replace these studs as needed to suit pitch conditions or wear. A stud key (sold separately) is required for this maintenance.
Initial Inspection: Before first use, ensure all studs are securely tightened. Use a stud key if any feel loose.
Breaking In: Wear the boots for shorter periods during training sessions initially to allow them to mold to your feet and prevent discomfort during a full match.
These boots are specifically designed for Soft Ground (SG) football pitches. This means natural grass fields that are wet or muddy. They are not recommended for use on Artificial Grass (AG) or Firm Ground (FG) surfaces, as this can damage the studs and soleplate, and significantly reduce grip.
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your boots:
Immediate Cleaning: After each use, especially on muddy pitches, clean your boots promptly. The Anti Clog technology helps, but a quick clean is still beneficial.
Soleplate: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove any remaining mud or debris from the soleplate, paying attention to the studs and the Anti Clog surface.
Upper: Wipe the Nike Skin synthetic upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution, then wipe clean with plain water.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators), which can damage the materials.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, ideally in a boot bag or box to protect them from dust and damage.
