The Mizuno Morelia Neo IV SG Mix football boots are designed for serious players who demand exceptional speed, a natural barefoot feel, and superior ball control on soft, natural ground pitches. Engineered with a reengineered K-leather upper and a stabilizing soleplate, these boots help you feel lighter and more connected to the ball than ever before. While excelling on soft ground, their specialized soleplate means they are optimized for specific pitch conditions.

Comfort for the Full 90 Minutes: With features like the 5mm higher collar and the redesigned eyelet arrangement, these boots offer a secure and irritation-free fit. This enhanced comfort ensures that your focus remains on the game, allowing you to perform at your peak without distractions or discomfort, even in extended play.
Dominance on Soft Pitches: The SG Mix soleplate is specifically designed to dig deep into soft, natural ground. This provides superior grip and stability, preventing slips and allowing you to maintain balance and control during crucial moments of play, whether you're sprinting, pivoting, or striking the ball.
Lacing: When lacing your boots, ensure the laces are snug but not overly tight, allowing for natural foot movement. The redesigned eyelets are intended to minimize creasing, so adjust the lacing evenly across your foot.
Initial Wear: While designed for comfort, K-leather can take a few sessions to fully mold to your foot. Wear them for short periods during training to facilitate this break-in process.
Ground Type: These Mizuno Morelia Neo IV boots feature an SG Mix soleplate, meaning they are optimally designed for soft, natural ground. This includes wet, muddy, or damp grass pitches where traditional firm ground studs might not provide enough traction.
Avoid Other Surfaces: It is not recommended to use these boots on firm ground (FG) or artificial turf (AG) surfaces. Doing so can damage the studs and the soleplate, reduce performance, and may also void any warranty.
Clean After Every Use: Immediately after playing, remove excess mud and dirt using a soft brush or a damp cloth. Do not allow mud to dry on the boots.
Air Dry Naturally: Always allow your boots to air dry at room temperature. Never use direct heat sources like radiators, dryers, or direct sunlight, as this can dry out and crack the K-leather.
Maintain Shape: Stuff the boots with newspaper or a boot shaper while drying to help absorb moisture and maintain their original shape.
Condition the Leather: Periodically apply a suitable leather conditioner or cream to the K-leather forefoot. This will keep the leather supple, prevent it from drying out, and extend its lifespan. Info needed: [frequency depends on usage and climate, but every few uses is a good guide].
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag to protect them from dust and damage.
