The Mizuno Morelia Neo IV Beta Elite Mix SG is designed for football players who demand exceptional speed, a natural barefoot feel, and superior control on soft, natural ground. This elite boot offers a lightweight, secure, and comfortable fit through its advanced construction, allowing players to perform at their fastest with minimal distractions. However, its specialized SG Mix soleplate means it is primarily intended for use on soft, natural grass pitches.

The Mizuno Morelia Neo IV Beta Elite Mix SG is engineered for the player who prioritizes speed, agility, and a precise touch. The reengineered upper combined with the softer midfoot mesh creates an almost 'barefoot' sensation, allowing for unparalleled ball feel and control. This translates directly into more confident dribbling, passing, and shooting, as you feel more connected to the ball.
When accelerating or changing direction rapidly, the stiffer shank in the soleplate provides critical stability, preventing your foot from rolling and ensuring you maintain balance. This feature is particularly beneficial for wingers, strikers, and attacking midfielders who rely on explosive movements.
The SG Mix soleplate with its longer, often metal, studs is specifically designed to bite into soft, muddy, or wet natural grass pitches. This provides superior traction, preventing slips and allowing for powerful push-offs and quick cuts. Using these boots on firm ground or artificial surfaces is not recommended, as it can damage the soleplate and compromise player safety.
The updated 3D stretch knit pattern and 5mm higher collar work together to hug the foot and ankle, creating a secure, locked-in feel without restricting movement. The redesigned eyelet arrangement plays a subtle yet important role in preventing discomfort, ensuring that the boot flexes naturally with your foot rather than causing creasing or pressure points. The new sockliner lining further enhances comfort and minimizes internal foot movement, contributing to a truly distraction-free playing experience. This focus on comfort allows players to maintain high performance levels throughout an entire match.
Using your Mizuno Morelia Neo IV Beta Elite Mix SG boots is straightforward:
Preparation: Ensure your football socks are clean and dry.
Lacing: Loosen the laces sufficiently to easily slide your foot in.
Wearing: Insert your foot, ensuring your heel is seated comfortably against the back of the boot.
Tightening: Begin lacing from the bottom, pulling firmly but not excessively tight, working your way up to the ankle. Tie a secure knot.
Break-in: New boots, especially those with K-leather, may require a short break-in period. Wear them for light training sessions before a full match to allow them to conform to your foot shape.
Ground Type: Exclusively designed for soft, natural ground (SG) pitches. This includes muddy, wet, or very soft grass fields. Do not use on firm ground (FG) or artificial grass (AG) surfaces.
Age Group: Adult
Gender: Unisex
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your boots:
Immediate Cleaning: After each use, especially on soft ground, remove excess mud and debris. Use a soft brush or cloth to gently wipe down the upper.
K-Leather Care: For the K-leather forefoot, use a damp cloth and mild soap (if necessary) to clean. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat. Consider using a leather conditioner periodically to keep the K-leather supple and prevent cracking.
Stud Inspection: Regularly check the SG studs for wear or damage. Replace any broken or severely worn studs to ensure optimal traction and prevent injury.
Drying: Never use artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers) to dry your boots, as this can damage the leather and synthetic materials. Stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape, then allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag to protect them from dust and damage.
