FAQs
Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?
These boots are specifically designed for natural grass. Using them on artificial surfaces may cause premature wear and reduce traction effectiveness.
How do I determine the right size for my child?
We recommend measuring the child's foot in centimeters and comparing it to the official Nike youth size chart, leaving roughly 0.5 to 1 cm of space at the toes.
Can I put these boots in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the boots. Always clean them by hand.
Are the studs replaceable?
No, the Academy series features a molded soleplate with fixed studs, which are designed to be used as-is.
How long should a pair of youth boots last?
Durability depends on the frequency of play and the condition of the pitches, but with proper cleaning and maintenance, they should last throughout a typical competitive season.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel slippery on the grass
Ensure the studs are clean and free from packed mud, which can reduce the effectiveness of the traction pattern.
Laces coming undone during play
Use a double knot technique and ensure the laces are pulled tight before the start of the match to maintain lockdown.
Material feels stiff after storage
Lightly wipe the upper with a damp cloth to hydrate the synthetic materials and wear them for a short period to allow body heat to flex the structure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your Nike Mercurial Vapor XVII Academy boots, ensure you are wearing the correct size to prevent blister formation or loss of stability. These boots are intended for natural grass only. To clean them, wipe away excess mud with a soft brush after each match and use a damp cloth to clean the upper; avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials.
