The Mizuno Morelia Neo IV Elite FG boots are built for players who dictate the game with pace and precision. On a firm, natural grass pitch, you'll immediately notice the barefoot feel provided by the reengineered upper, allowing for an incredibly natural and responsive touch on the ball. This helps with precise passing, dribbling, and shooting. The stabilising soleplate with its stiffer shank ensures you remain balanced and in control, whether you're making sharp cuts or accelerating past defenders. The redesigned eyelet arrangement and 3D stretch knit rearfoot work together to create a snug, secure fit that moves with your foot, minimizing uncomfortable creasing and distractions. The K-leather forefoot delivers that classic, luxurious quilted feel, ensuring superior ball feel, which is crucial for close control and deft touches in tight spaces. For example, during a quick change of direction, the secure fit and stable soleplate prevent foot slippage inside the boot, allowing for immediate power transfer and confident movement. The lightweight nature (approx. 200g) means less energy expenditure, keeping you fresh throughout the match.
First Wear: When first trying on your Morelia Neo IV Elite FG boots, wear your preferred football socks. They should feel snug but not uncomfortably tight. The K-leather will mold slightly to your foot over time.
Breaking In: We recommend a gradual breaking-in period. Start by wearing them during light training sessions or warm-ups before using them in a full match. This allows the K-leather to soften and conform to your foot shape for optimal comfort.
These boots feature an FG (Firm Ground) soleplate, making them ideal for playing on natural grass pitches that are dry and firm. They are not recommended for artificial turf (AG), soft ground (SG), or indoor surfaces, as this can damage the studs and reduce performance.
Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and mud using a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct sunlight or use artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers), as this can dry out and crack the K-leather.
K-Leather Conditioning: To maintain the suppleness and longevity of the K-leather, periodically apply a specialized leather conditioner or cream designed for football boots. This helps prevent drying and cracking.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, ideally with boot trees or crumpled paper inside to help maintain their shape.
