FAQs

What is the primary surface these boots are designed for?

These boots are specifically designed for artificial grass (AG) surfaces.

What is Gripknit, and what does it do?

Gripknit is a sticky, pliable, and weather-resistant yarn used in the upper of the boots to enhance ball-to-boot connection and improve control.

How should I clean my Nike Mercurial Vapor 16 Elite AG Pro boots?

Wipe the boots with a damp cloth after each use to remove dirt and debris. Allow them to air dry.

What kind of cushioning system does this boot use?

The boot uses Zoom Air cushioning in the forefoot.

What is the benefit of the wave-shaped studs?

The wave-shaped studs in the forefoot engage more of the Zoom Air unit, which generates increased energy return.

Are these boots suitable for wide feet?

The Mercurial series is generally designed for a snug fit. Those with wider feet may want to consider sizing up or looking at a different model.

Troubleshooting

Poor grip on the artificial grass surface.

Ensure the studs are clean and free of debris. Check if the AG surface is overly worn; if so, consider a new pair of boots or a surface change.

Discomfort or blisters after extended use.

Ensure the boots fit properly, and consider wearing thicker socks. Allow time for the boots to break in to conform to your foot shape.

Gripknit material losing its stickiness.

Clean the Gripknit upper regularly with a damp cloth to remove any build-up of dirt or sweat. Avoid harsh chemicals.
