FAQs
What does 'FG' stand for on these boots?
'FG' stands for Firm Ground, indicating these boots are designed for use on natural grass pitches that are relatively dry and firm.
How does the Zoom Air unit enhance performance?
The Zoom Air unit is a pressurized air pocket within the soleplate that provides responsive cushioning and exceptional energy return, helping you accelerate faster and stay agile.
What is Gripknit technology?
Gripknit is a sticky, pliable, and weather-resistant yarn integrated into the upper that improves your connection with the ball, ensuring consistent touch and control in various conditions.
Are these boots suitable for players with wide feet?
The thinnest Mercurial upper ever, combined with Flyknit and Atomknit, offers a snug, close-to-foot fit. While it offers some stretch, players with very wide feet might find them restrictive. It's recommended to try them on if possible.
How do I clean the Gripknit upper?
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently clean the Gripknit upper. Avoid harsh chemicals to maintain its adhesive properties and weather resistance.
Can I use these boots on artificial grass?
These are specifically designed for firm ground. Using them on artificial grass can cause premature wear and may affect performance and comfort.
What is the benefit of the thinnest upper ever?
The ultra-thin, three-layer upper construction brings you closer to the ball, enhancing feel and control for more precise movements and touches.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The Flyknit and Atomknit upper will mold to your foot over time, but initial tightness is normal. Wear them for short periods during training to break them in.
Traction feels inconsistent
Ensure the studs are clean and free of debris. Check that you are playing on a suitable firm ground surface. The unique stud pattern is optimized for specific ground conditions.
Material appears worn after limited use
The lacquer finish on certain boot elements is cosmetic and may wear off during play, which does not impact performance. For significant material wear, contact customer support.
