The Mizuno Morelia Neo IV boots are engineered to maximize performance for rugby players on firm natural grass pitches.
Exceptional Touch and Control: The premium K-leather upper is soft and pliable, offering an unparalleled feel for the ball. This allows for precise passing, confident handling in contact, and effective kicking. The leather naturally molds to your foot over time, providing a truly personalized fit that enhances your connection with the ball.
Dynamic Grip and Stability: The TPU outsole is designed with strategically placed studs to deliver aggressive traction on firm ground. This is crucial for explosive sprints, sharp changes in direction during evasive runs, and maintaining balance in rucks and mauls. The stability provided helps prevent slips, giving you confidence in every movement.
Unrivaled Comfort for 80 Minutes: The ZEROGLIDE LITE Sockliner is key to preventing foot slippage inside the boot, which can lead to discomfort and blisters. This locked-in sensation, combined with the supple K-leather, ensures comfort from kick-off to the final whistle, whether you're in a high-intensity match or a demanding training session.
Secure and Adaptive Fit: The new lace eyelet structure combined with the traditional lace-up design ensures that the boot securely wraps around your foot. This minimizes unwanted movement and reduces pressure points, preventing discomfort and allowing you to focus entirely on your game. These boots are suitable for both training and competitive match-day performance, offering consistent reliability and a premium feel.
Proper setup, understanding compatibility, and consistent care are essential to maximize the lifespan and performance of your Mizuno Morelia Neo IV boots.
Lacing: Ensure the boots are laced securely but not overly tight. Use the new lace eyelet structure to achieve an even tension across your foot. A double knot is recommended to prevent laces from coming undone during play.
Break-In Period: While K-leather is soft, a short break-in period is advisable. Wear the boots during light training sessions or for short periods around the house to allow the leather to mold to your foot shape before intense use.
Surface: These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches. This typically refers to natural grass fields that are dry and offer a solid playing surface. Using them on artificial turf (AG) or soft ground (SG) may compromise performance, durability, and could void any warranty.
Fit: The K-leather upper offers adaptability, molding to your foot over time. They are designed for a snug, performance-oriented fit.
Clean After Every Use: Immediately after playing, remove excess dirt and mud from the upper and outsole using a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing that could damage the leather.
Wipe Down: Use a damp cloth to gently wipe the entire surface of the boots, including the studs.
Dry Naturally: Never dry your boots in direct sunlight, on a radiator, or with a hairdryer, as extreme heat can crack and stiffen the leather. Stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help them retain their shape as they air dry in a cool, well-ventilated area.
Condition the Leather: Periodically apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for K-leather. This helps keep the leather soft, pliable, and prevents it from drying out and cracking.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct heat or extreme cold. A boot bag can protect them from scratches and dust.
Product Label: Always refer to the specific care instructions on the product label for any additional guidance.
