FAQs

How do I determine the correct size?

We recommend consulting a Nike sizing chart or trying on the boots to ensure the best fit. Leather uppers will stretch slightly, so a snug fit initially is often ideal.

Are these boots suitable for artificial grass (AG) pitches?

While the synthetic sole is versatile, for optimal performance and boot longevity on AG surfaces, it is often recommended to use boots specifically designed with AG studs. Info needed: Please check specific product labeling for recommended surface types.

What is the primary material of the upper and sole?

The upper is made from leather, providing a soft feel and excellent touch. The sole is made from durable synthetic materials, designed for traction and stability.

How often should I clean and condition the leather?

It is best to wipe down the boots after every use. For conditioning, a general guideline is every 2-4 weeks, or more frequently if the boots are used often or exposed to wet conditions.

Can these boots be used for sports other than football/soccer?

Yes, while historically associated with football, the combination of a responsive leather upper and grippy synthetic sole makes them suitable for various athletic activities where agility and foot control are beneficial.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable initially

Leather footwear often requires a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short periods during light activities to allow the leather to mold to your feet. Applying a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.

Reduced grip or slipping during play

Inspect the synthetic sole for excessive dirt, mud, or wear on the studs. Clean the sole thoroughly with a stiff brush and water. If the studs are significantly worn, it may indicate it's time for replacement footwear.

Leather upper is cracking or drying out

This is often due to a lack of proper conditioning or exposure to extreme conditions. Clean the leather thoroughly, then apply a high-quality leather conditioner or protector. Ensure boots are air-dried away from direct heat.

Setup

  1. First Wear: When first wearing your Nike Total 90 boots, ensure they fit snugly but comfortably. The leather upper will stretch and mold slightly to your foot over time.

The synthetic sole offers versatility, making them suitable for various surfaces. Info needed: For optimal performance, check specific guidelines for artificial turf or indoor surfaces.

Care

  • Cleaning the Leather Upper: After each use, wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush, then wipe clean. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. This is especially important if the boots get wet frequently.
  • Cleaning the Synthetic Sole: Use a stiff brush and water to remove mud and dirt from the sole and studs. Ensure all debris is cleared to maintain optimal traction.
  • Drying: If the boots get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
  • Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
