FAQs

What does 'Made in Japan' signify for these boots?

The 'Made in Japan' designation signifies the highest level of craftsmanship, quality control, and material selection, reflecting Mizuno's commitment to premium athletic footwear.

Can I use these boots on artificial grass?

These boots feature an FG (Firm Ground) soleplate, which is designed for firm, natural grass pitches. Using them on artificial turf is not recommended as it can lead to premature wear and suboptimal performance.

How do I maintain the ZeroGlide grip features?

The ZeroGlide grip is integrated into the materials. Regular cleaning of the boots and sockliner with a damp cloth will help maintain their effectiveness. Ensure the sockliner is completely dry before reinserting.

What is the difference between the Alpha II and its predecessor?

The Alpha II is an evolution, featuring a lighter construction, improved flexibility in the upper, a more structured tongue, and an updated KaRVO RS insole board for enhanced responsiveness and flex.

Are the laces made from recycled materials?

Yes, the laces are made from at least 90% recycled content, contributing to Mizuno's sustainability initiatives.

How much do the Mizuno Alpha II FG boots weigh?

The boots weigh approximately 185g, making them a very lightweight option for players focused on speed and agility.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure laces are not overtightened. Wear the boots for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet. Consider using thinner socks if necessary.

Lack of traction on wet grass

The FG soleplate is optimized for firm ground. Performance may be reduced on very wet or muddy pitches. Ensure the studs are clean and free of debris.

Difficulty removing the sockliner

Gently pull the ZeroGlide Alpha Mesh sockliner straight out. If it's stuck, try wiggling it slightly or using a non-metallic tool to carefully ease it up from the edges.

Pros and Cons

  • High energy return from the KaRVO RS insole board and ENERZY foam.
  • Precise fit and control thanks to the Engineered Fit Last Neo.
  • Durable construction with Made in Japan quality.

Cons

  • FG soleplate is best suited for firm, natural ground and may not perform optimally on artificial turf.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These football boots are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tightness for an optimal locked-in feel. The FG (Firm Ground) soleplate is specifically designed for traction on firm, natural grass pitches. Compatibility is limited to these surfaces; use on artificial turf may lead to reduced performance and increased wear.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush. Clean the upper with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive materials.
  2. Drying: Stuff the boots with newspaper or a dry cloth to absorb moisture and help them retain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
  3. Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place. Using a boot bag can help protect them and prevent damage.
