FAQs

What does FG/MG mean for the outsole?

FG/MG stands for Firm Ground/Multi Ground. This indicates the boots are designed to perform well on both natural grass pitches and artificial grass surfaces.

How do I clean the NIKESKIN upper?

Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently clean the NIKESKIN upper. Avoid using harsh chemicals or soaking the boots in water.

Will the wear on the lacquer finish affect the boot's performance?

No, the wear on the lacquer finish is purely cosmetic and will not impact the boot's performance, grip, or comfort.

Who are the main athletes endorsed by the Mercurial range?

The Mercurial range is endorsed by top athletes including Vinicius Jr., Kylian Mbappe, Cristiano Ronaldo, Sam Kerr, and Ada Hegerberg.

Is this boot suitable for players needing ankle support?

The NIKESKIN upper provides comfort and support, but these are low-cut boots. Players requiring significant ankle support might consider different models or use ankle braces.

Can I use these boots on indoor carpet pitches?

No, these boots are not designed for indoor carpet pitches. An indoor court shoe with a flat rubber sole is recommended for those surfaces.

What is the benefit of the Zoom Air cushioning?

The Zoom Air cushioning provides responsive, low-profile cushioning, delivering a springy feel and enhanced energy return with every step.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Wear the boots for short periods during training sessions to allow them to break in and mold to your feet. Check lacing for even pressure distribution.

Studs are not providing enough grip

Ensure the pitch surface is suitable for FG/MG boots. Clean any mud or debris from the studs. For excessive wear, consider replacement if the studs are significantly damaged.

Lacquer finish is peeling or wearing off

This is a cosmetic issue and does not affect the performance of the boot. Continue using the boots as normal. Avoid aggressive cleaning methods that might accelerate wear.

Upper material feels stiff

Allow for a proper break-in period. Consistent use during training sessions will help the NIKESKIN material become more pliable and comfortable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These football boots are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure they are the correct size for a comfortable and secure fit. It is recommended to wear them for a short period during training to allow the materials to mold to your foot shape.

Compatibility: The MultiGround (FG/MG) outsole is designed for optimal performance on both firm natural grass (FG) and artificial grass (AG) surfaces. Avoid using these boots on hard, unsuitable surfaces like concrete or indoor courts, as this can damage the studs and compromise performance.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt and mud using a soft brush or damp cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources such as radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, ideally in a breathable boot bag, to maintain their condition and shape.
