These football boots are designed for adult male players seeking exceptional speed, a natural barefoot feel, and superior comfort on firm, natural ground. While they excel in lightweight performance and precise touch, their FG soleplate means they are optimized specifically for dry, natural grass pitches.

Enhanced Stability Soleplate: Features a stiffer shank within the ultralight nylon x TPU resin soleplate, ensuring balance and control during fast movements and sharp changes in direction.

Secure Ankle Fit: A 5mm higher collar compared to previous generations offers a more connected and secure feel around the ankle.

The Mizuno Morelia Neo IV Elite FG boots are engineered for players who prioritize speed, agility, and precise ball control on firm, natural grass pitches. The reengineered upper and K-leather forefoot work in tandem to provide a truly barefoot feel, allowing for an immediate and responsive touch on the ball. This is crucial for dribbling, passing, and shooting with accuracy.
The ultralight construction (approx. 200g) combined with the stiffer soleplate shank facilitates explosive acceleration and stable changes of direction. Players can confidently push off and sprint, knowing their foot is secure and supported, thanks to the new sockliner grip and higher collar. The redesigned eyelet arrangement actively prevents discomfort, allowing full focus on the game.
These boots are ideal for attacking players, wingers, and midfielders who demand maximum performance and comfort to outmaneuver opponents and dictate play. For example, a winger making a sudden burst down the line will benefit from the lightweight design and firm ground traction, while a midfielder will appreciate the precise touch for intricate passes.
Setup:
Lacing: Loosen the laces, slide your foot into the boot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated.
Tighten: Begin tightening the laces from the bottom eyelets, working your way up. Ensure a snug fit across the midfoot without being overly tight. The redesigned eyelet arrangement helps minimize creasing.
Knot: Tie a secure knot, checking for any pressure points.
Break-In: K-leather boots often require a short break-in period. Wear them for light training sessions initially to allow the leather to mold to your foot shape for optimal comfort.
Compatibility:
These boots feature an FG (Firm Ground) soleplate and are designed exclusively for use on firm, natural grass pitches. Using them on artificial turf (AG), soft ground (SG), or indoor surfaces (IC) can damage the boots and increase the risk of injury.
Care:
Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the K-leather upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and mud. For stubborn stains, use a specialized leather cleaner.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, or tumble dryers, as extreme heat can dry out and crack the leather. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Conditioning: Regularly apply a leather conditioner to the K-leather forefoot to keep it supple, prevent cracking, and prolong the boot's lifespan.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct heat or moisture.
