The Mizuno Morelia Neo IV Elite FG football boots are crafted for players who demand speed, an exceptional barefoot feel, and superior touch on firm, natural ground. Featuring premium K-Leather, a reengineered upper for a secure fit, and a stabilizing soleplate, these boots aim to minimize distractions and maximize performance. They are ideally suited for firm pitches, making them less versatile for other playing surfaces.
K-Leather Forefoot: Provides a quilted, luxurious feel and enhanced sense of touch for superior ball control and a natural connection.
Reengineered Upper: Features an updated 3D-stretch knit at the rearfoot and a softer midfoot mesh for an even lighter, more secure, and barefoot-like sensation.
Redesigned Eyelet Arrangement: Minimizes creasing across the foot during flexion, reducing irritation and conforming better to the foot for improved comfort.
Stiffer Shank in Soleplate: Enhances stability and control, helping you maintain balance and power during quick movements and sprints on firm ground.
5mm Higher Collar: Offers a more secure and connected fit around the ankle compared to previous generations, contributing to a locked-in feel.
Ultralight External Counter Outsole: Constructed from nylon and TPU resin, it contributes to the boot's overall lightweight design, approximately 200g.
New Sockliner Lining: Provides additional grip inside the boot, preventing slippage and enhancing the secure fit.

The Mizuno Morelia Neo IV Elite FG boots are engineered for football players who prioritize explosive speed, agile movements, and precise ball control. The K-Leather forefoot is central to its performance, offering a soft, adaptive touch that allows for exceptional ball manipulation, whether you're dribbling through tight spaces or delivering a perfectly weighted pass. This material, combined with the reengineered upper, creates a 'barefoot' sensation, giving you a direct and responsive connection to the ball, which is vital for instinctive play.
On the field, the stiffer shank in the soleplate provides critical stability. When you accelerate or make sharp cuts to evade defenders, this feature helps you maintain balance and control, translating your power efficiently into movement. The redesigned eyelet arrangement and 5mm higher collar contribute to a secure, distraction-free fit, minimizing friction and creasing. This ensures comfort throughout the match, allowing you to focus entirely on your game without irritation. These boots are optimized for firm, natural grass pitches, where the FG soleplate's traction pattern will provide maximum grip and support for explosive take-offs and quick directional changes. Their ultralight construction (approx. 200g) further aids in maintaining high speed and agility.
Setup and Initial Use
First Fit: Ensure a snug yet comfortable fit. The K-Leather is designed to mold to your foot over time for a personalized feel.
Lacing: Use the redesigned eyelet structure to customize your lacing tension, achieving optimal lockdown and comfort without excessive pressure.
Break-in Period: K-Leather boots may benefit from a short break-in period. Wear them for lighter training sessions or short periods to allow the material to fully adapt to your foot's shape.
Compatibility
These boots feature an FG (Firm Ground) soleplate. They are exclusively designed for and perform best on firm, natural grass pitches. Using them on artificial turf (AG), soft ground (SG), or indoor surfaces (IC) is not recommended, as it can compromise performance, damage the boots, and potentially increase the risk of injury.
Care and Maintenance
Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and mud using a soft brush or a damp cloth. For tougher grime, a mild soap solution can be used, but avoid harsh chemicals.
K-Leather Care: Gently wipe the K-Leather with a damp cloth. To maintain its suppleness and prevent drying or cracking, periodically apply a small amount of specialized leather conditioner designed for football boots.
Drying: Always allow your boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators, heaters, or direct sunlight, as this can severely damage and crack the leather.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb any residual moisture and maintain their shape.
