Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these boots suitable for artificial grass (AG)?
These are primarily designed for firm natural grass surfaces. Using them on AG may cause premature wear and may not provide the ideal traction.
How should I clean the exterior?
Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water to wipe away dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges.
Do these boots run true to size?
The Mercurial Academy series typically follows standard sizing, but it is recommended to consider the thickness of your match-day socks when choosing your size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesives and structural components of the boots. Always clean them by hand.
Why is the heel collar padded?
The padded heel and collar are designed to provide a snug fit and prevent heel slippage, which is essential for maintaining control at high speeds.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff during the first wear
It is normal for new boots to require a break-in period; wear them for shorter sessions or training drills before full matches.
Excessive mud buildup in studs
Clean the soleplate immediately after use with a soft-bristled brush to maintain traction for the next game.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, adjust the lace tension while wearing the specific athletic socks you intend to use for matches. Because these are built for natural grass, avoid using them on abrasive surfaces like dry, compacted dirt or artificial turf, as this will lead to premature stud wear. After each session, wipe the boots down with a damp cloth to remove loose mud and debris. Remove the insoles occasionally to allow the interior to air out fully, and always dry them naturally at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping.
