FAQs
Can I use these on natural grass?
No, these boots are specifically designed with a rubber stud configuration for turf. They will not provide enough grip on natural grass.
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
The Mercurial series typically features a snug, performance-fit design. While the leather construction has some natural give, players with very wide feet may prefer to try them on first to ensure comfort.
How do I determine my size?
These boots are listed in UK adult sizing. It is recommended to compare this against your current Nike footwear for the best fit.
How often should I clean the leather?
You should wipe them down after every use to prevent debris and moisture from degrading the leather quality.
Are these suitable for indoor soccer?
No, the rubber studs are designed for turf fields. Indoor courts require flat-soled boots to prevent injury and slipping.
Troubleshooting
Accumulation of turf pellets in the outsole
Use a blunt tool or a stiff brush to clear out the gaps between the rubber studs after every game to maintain traction.
Leather feels stiff after getting wet
Allow the boots to dry completely, then use a leather-safe conditioner to restore flexibility to the upper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your boots, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: After each session, wipe off dirt and rubber pellets using a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth.
- Drying: Air dry naturally at room temperature. Never use a hairdryer or place the boots near a radiator, as extreme heat can crack the leather or weaken the adhesive.
- Compatibility: These boots are exclusively designed for turf (TF) surfaces. Avoid using them on indoor polished wood or concrete to prevent premature stud wear.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the leather material.
