The Mizuno Morelia Neo IV Elite FG boots are engineered for players who prioritize touch, comfort, and stability on natural firm ground pitches. The premium K-Leather upper molds to your foot, creating a sensation akin to playing barefoot. This translates to a highly responsive and precise feel on the ball, allowing for intricate dribbling, accurate passing, and confident striking in game situations.
The KNIT NEO construction combined with the new eyelet structure ensures the boot moves seamlessly with your foot. This offers a secure, locked-down fit without restricting natural foot movements, which is vital for maintaining comfort over 90 minutes and during intense bursts of activity. Players will notice reduced foot slippage within the boot, leading to better energy transfer.
The stiffer shank in the outsole provides a stable platform, giving you confidence during explosive acceleration, sharp turns, and powerful tackles. This stability ensures that your energy is efficiently transferred through the boot, helping you maintain balance and control in dynamic game situations. These boots excel in conditions where a reliable grip on firm, natural grass is paramount, providing the traction needed for quick changes of direction and powerful sprints.
Lacing: Begin by fully loosening the laces to easily insert your foot.
Foot Insertion: Slide your foot into the boot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated against the back.
Tightening: Starting from the bottom eyelets, gradually pull the laces snug, working your way up. Utilize the new eyelet structure to achieve a personalized, secure fit across your midfoot. Avoid over-tightening, which can cause discomfort, but ensure there's no excessive slippage.
Knot: Tie your laces securely to prevent them from coming undone during play.
Pitch Type: These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches. This means natural grass surfaces that are typically dry and firm. Using them on artificial grass (AG), soft ground (SG), or indoor surfaces is not recommended as it can damage the studs, affect performance, and potentially void any warranty.
User: Designed for adult players.
Size: UK 11 (as per product details).
Cleaning After Use: After each use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the leather.
Leather Conditioning: As the boots feature K-Leather, it's beneficial to periodically apply a specialized leather conditioner to keep the material supple, prevent drying, and prolong its life. Follow the conditioner manufacturer's instructions carefully.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, or tumble dryers, which can damage the leather and adhesives. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag to protect them from dust and damage.
Refer to Product Label: Always consult the specific care instructions provided on the product label for the most accurate guidance.
