Full details
These Nike Vapor 15 Club IC football boots are designed for adult males playing small-sided games on indoor courts. Their key benefit is a streamlined, low-profile silhouette offering a close-to-the-ground feel for agility, with a bright colourway for visibility.

FAQs
What does 'IC' stand for on these football boots?
'IC' stands for Indoor Court. This designation means the boots are specifically designed for optimal performance and traction on indoor playing surfaces.
Are these boots suitable for outdoor artificial grass pitches?
While they might offer some grip on certain artificial surfaces, the 'IC' designation means they are primarily optimized for indoor courts. For outdoor artificial grass, an AG (Artificial Grass) specific boot would be more appropriate for longevity and performance.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The boots should feel snug but not painfully tight. There should be a small amount of space (about a thumb's width) between your longest toe and the end of the boot. Your heel should feel secure and not lift excessively when you walk or move.
Can I wash these boots in a washing machine?
No, you should not wash these football boots in a washing machine. Machine washing can damage the adhesives, materials, and structure of the boot. Clean them by hand using a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
What is the main difference between IC and FG boots?
IC (Indoor Court) boots have flat, non-marking rubber outsoles designed for grip on smooth indoor surfaces. FG (Firm Ground) boots have studs designed for traction on natural grass or synthetic pitches with some give.
How long does the bright crimson color typically last?
The vibrancy of the 'Bright Crimson' color is part of the design. With regular use and proper care following the cleaning guidelines, the color should remain bright for a significant period. Excessive exposure to sunlight during drying or storage can cause fading over time.
Are these boots part of the Mercurial line?
Yes, these boots are part of Nike's Mercurial series, specifically the Vapor 15 Club IC model, known for its focus on speed and agility.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try wearing them around the house with the type of socks you would normally use for football. If discomfort persists after a reasonable break-in period, consider if the fit is suitable for your foot shape.
Traction is poor on the court.
Ensure the indoor court surface is clean and free from dust or debris. The rubber outsole is designed for clean indoor surfaces; if the surface is dirty, cleaning it may improve traction. Verify that the boots are indeed the 'IC' (Indoor Court) version, as other models have different sole patterns.
Materials appear to be degrading quickly.
Check that the boots are being used exclusively on indoor courts as intended. Using them on rougher or abrasive surfaces can lead to premature wear. Follow the recommended care instructions, avoiding excessive moisture and harsh cleaning agents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a comfortable fit. We recommend trying them on indoors first.
Compatibility: The Nike Vapor 15 Club IC designation signifies they are specifically designed for Indoor Courts (IC). This includes surfaces like gymnasium floors, polished concrete, and indoor artificial turf. They are not recommended for use on hard outdoor courts, firm ground (FG), or soft ground (SG) pitches, as the soleplate is not designed for those terrains and may wear prematurely or offer suboptimal grip.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources such as radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and moisture.
