The Mizuno Morelia Neo IV Beta Elite Mix SG football boots are engineered for elite players seeking unparalleled speed and a natural, barefoot feel on soft, natural ground. They deliver superior touch, enhanced stability, and lightweight comfort, allowing for fast, distraction-free play. However, their specialized SG Mix soleplate is optimized specifically for soft ground conditions.

The Mizuno Morelia Neo IV Beta Elite Mix SG boots are built for players who dominate the game with pace and precision on wet or soft natural grass pitches. The combination of the reengineered upper and K-leather forefoot allows for an incredibly close and responsive touch on the ball, vital for quick dribbling and accurate passing. When bursting into a sprint or making sharp turns, the lighter-on-foot feel and enhanced stability from the stiffer soleplate shank keep you balanced and in control, letting you accelerate past defenders with confidence. The refined eyelet arrangement and higher collar work together to provide a snug, secure fit that moves with your foot, minimizing distractions and allowing you to focus entirely on your game. For optimal performance, always ensure you're playing on the intended soft ground surface, where the SG Mix soleplate's traction excels, providing the necessary grip to maintain footing in challenging conditions.
Initial Try-On: Always try on boots with the type of socks you'll wear for play to ensure accurate sizing and fit.
Lacing: Experiment with different lacing patterns to find the most comfortable and secure fit. The redesigned eyelets are optimized for a natural feel.
Breaking In: While designed for immediate comfort, a short break-in period during light training sessions can help the K-leather forefoot mold perfectly to your foot shape.
Ground Type: These boots feature an SG Mix soleplate, meaning they are specifically designed for soft, natural ground pitches. This includes wet, muddy, or extremely soft grass fields.
Suboptimal Surfaces: Using them on hard ground, artificial grass (AG), or firm ground (FG) can damage the studs, compromise traction, and potentially invalidate warranties.
Cleaning:
Immediately after use, knock off any excess mud.
For the K-leather forefoot, gently wipe clean with a damp cloth. Do not soak.
For synthetic parts (rearfoot, midfoot), wipe with a damp cloth.
Use a soft brush to clean the soleplate and studs.
Drying:
Never dry boots using direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, hairdryers) as this can damage the K-leather and synthetic materials, causing cracking or shrinking.
Stuff the boots with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
Allow them to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place.
Consider using a boot bag to protect them from dust and damage during transport.
Stud Maintenance: Regularly check screw-in studs (if applicable) for tightness before each use. Replace worn or damaged studs as needed to maintain optimal traction.
