FAQs
Can these shoes be used on outdoor artificial turf?
These shoes are designed for indoor courts; they may wear down quickly or provide insufficient grip on artificial turf.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Mercurial range is known for a streamlined, slim fit; players with wider feet may find them snug and should consider how the synthetic material stretches over time.
How should I clean the synthetic upper?
Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water, then wipe away any soap residue with a separate damp cloth.
What is the benefit of the textured upper?
The texturing increases the surface friction between the ball and the boot, providing better control and touch during dribbling.
Do I need to break these in?
While the synthetic upper is pliable, wearing them for light practice sessions before competitive matches will help them conform better to your foot.
Troubleshooting
Loss of traction on the court
Clean the outsole with a damp cloth to remove dust accumulation, which often causes slippage on indoor surfaces.
Discomfort or pinching
Ensure the laces are tied with even tension across the foot and allow the synthetic material time to mold to your foot shape over 2-3 sessions.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your boots last through the season, focus on proper court usage and maintenance. These shoes are specifically designed for indoor court surfaces and should not be used on outdoor concrete or artificial turf, as the outsole pattern and material are not optimized for those surfaces.
Care Instructions:
- After each session, wipe the upper clean with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and court residue.
- Allow the boots to air dry naturally in a cool, ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the synthetic materials.
- If the shoes become very wet, stuff them with newspaper to help retain their shape while drying.
- Check the outsole periodically for any debris stuck in the tread to maintain optimal grip.
