The Mizuno Morelia Neo IV Beta Elite FG boots are engineered for adult players seeking exceptional speed and a 'barefoot' feel on the pitch. These black, unisex firm-ground boots leverage classic K-leather for superior touch and a reengineered upper for a lighter, more connected fit, though their FG soleplate is optimized specifically for natural, firm ground surfaces.
Barefoot Feel Upper: Features an updated 3D stretch knit pattern at the rearfoot and a softer, secure midfoot mesh for an exceptionally light, 'barefoot' sensation, enhancing agility and touch.
Classic K-Leather Forefoot: Provides the Morelia's trademark quilted, luxurious feel and an enhanced sense of touch, allowing for precise ball control.
Optimized Eyelet Arrangement: The tweaked position of the lacing eyelets minimizes creasing during foot flexion, reducing irritation and ensuring the boot conforms better to the foot for improved comfort.
Enhanced Ankle Fit: A 5mm higher collar compared to previous generations offers a more secure and connected fit around the ankle.
Stabilising Soleplate: Incorporates a stiffer shank in the ultralight external counter outsole (nylon x TPU resin) to enhance stability, keeping you balanced and in control during quick movements.
FG Soleplate: Specifically designed to provide optimal traction and grip on firm, natural ground pitches, enabling explosive acceleration and confident changes in direction.

The Mizuno Morelia Neo IV Beta Elite FG boots are built for players who prioritize speed, touch, and a natural feel on the ball. The K-leather forefoot offers unparalleled sensitivity, allowing for precise dribbling, passing, and shooting, crucial in fast-paced game situations. The reengineered upper truly delivers on its 'barefoot feel' promise, making you feel more connected to the ball and enhancing your agility for quick cuts and turns.
On the pitch, the FG soleplate provides aggressive traction, ideal for explosive sprints and rapid changes of direction on firm, natural grass surfaces. The stiffer shank in the soleplate contributes significantly to stability, ensuring you remain balanced during powerful pushes off and sudden stops. The optimized eyelet arrangement and 5mm higher collar work together to create a secure, comfortable fit that minimizes distractions, allowing you to focus purely on your game. These boots are designed to help you maintain top speed and control throughout a match, giving you an edge over opponents.
Lacing: Utilize the redesigned eyelet arrangement for a snug, even fit. Start lacing from the bottom, pulling firmly but not overly tight. The tweaked eyelets help the boot conform better to your foot, reducing pressure points.
Break-in Period: K-leather will naturally stretch and mold to your foot shape over time. It's recommended to wear them for shorter periods during initial sessions to allow for this natural break-in, avoiding discomfort.
Playing Surface: These boots are equipped with an FG (Firm Ground) soleplate, making them suitable exclusively for natural, firm grass pitches. Avoid use on artificial turf (AG), soft ground (SG), or indoor (IC) surfaces, as this can damage the boots and compromise performance.
Age Group: Designed for adult players.
Gender: Unisex design.
Cleaning After Use: After every game or training session, wipe off dirt and mud using a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used carefully.
K-Leather Conditioning: K-leather requires regular conditioning to remain supple and prevent drying or cracking. Apply a specialized leather conditioner or cream every few uses to maintain its quality and prolong its lifespan.
Drying: Always allow your boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, or other artificial heat sources, as these can cause the leather to stiffen and crack.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture. Do not store in damp environments.
