Full details

FAQs
What does 'FG MG' on the soleplate mean?
FG MG stands for Firm Ground / Multi Ground. This indicates the soleplate is designed to provide reliable traction on both firm natural grass pitches and artificial grass surfaces.
Are these boots suitable for players with wide feet?
The Mercurial line generally features a more streamlined fit. While the synthetic upper offers some pliability, players with significantly wide feet might find them snug. Trying them on or considering a half-size larger could be beneficial.
How do I break in new football boots?
Wear them for short periods around the house or during light training sessions. Gradually increase the duration to allow the materials to mold to your foot shape and prevent blisters.
What is the main benefit of the textured upper?
The allover texturing on the upper is designed to enhance the player's touch and control over the ball, especially at high speeds, allowing for more precise dribbling and passing.
Can I use these boots on indoor hard courts?
No, the FG/MG soleplate is not designed for indoor hard courts. Using them on such surfaces can lead to poor traction and excessive wear on the studs and soleplate.
Who typically wears the Mercurial line?
The Mercurial range is often favored by players known for their speed, agility, and dynamic playing style. It is endorsed by top athletes like Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr.
How does the Bluelight component affect the boot?
Bluelight components are integrated with a focus on sustainability. They contribute to lowering the overall weight of the boot and reducing its carbon footprint during manufacturing.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Some players find synthetic uppers require a short break-in period. Wear them around the house for short intervals to allow them to mold to your foot shape.
Traction feels inconsistent on the pitch
Clean the soleplate and studs thoroughly, as mud or debris can impede grip. Ensure the playing surface matches the intended use of the FG/MG soleplate (firm natural grass or artificial grass).
Visible wear after limited use
Inspect the boots for signs of excessive stress or abrasion. Ensure they are being used on appropriate surfaces and not on rough, abrasive grounds which can accelerate wear.
Difficulty keeping the ball close while dribbling
Practice with the ball using the textured areas of the upper. Ensure your footwork is consistent with the boot's design, which prioritizes close control.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These football boots are ready to wear straight out of the box. Compatibility is key with the MultiGround (MG) outsole, designed for optimal performance on both traditional firm natural grass pitches and modern artificial grass surfaces. To ensure longevity and maintain performance:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or a dry cloth. For tougher grime, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the boots in water.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a breathable boot bag. Avoid storing them in plastic bags which can trap moisture.
- Stud Maintenance: Periodically check the studs for wear and tear. Ensure they are clean to maintain their grip.
