No, these are SG-Pro boots specifically engineered for soft, natural grass. Use on artificial surfaces may void the performance benefits and could damage the studs.
Use a soft cloth dampened with water and a very mild soap. Avoid scrubbing with abrasive materials to protect the Gripknit layer.
Yes, the boots feature adjustable and replaceable metal studs for soft ground customization.
Gripknit is a weather-resistant, sticky yarn that ensures the ball remains 'glued' to your foot, providing consistent control regardless of rain or field conditions.
The Mercurial Elite series typically provides a snug, locked-in performance fit. It is recommended to try them on with your match-day socks to gauge the fit correctly.
While the three-layer knit is flexible, the Elite series provides a highly responsive structure that may require a few sessions to fully adapt to your foot shape.
Use a standard stud key to tighten the metal studs firmly before use.
Use a soft-bristled brush to clear debris from the forefoot wave area after every session to maintain grip.
Gently clean the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap; do not use harsh detergents that can degrade the Gripknit coating.
To ensure peak performance, players should verify their stud tightness before every training session or match. Because these are SG-Pro (Soft Ground) boots, they are meant exclusively for soft, natural grass surfaces; using them on firm or artificial turf can cause premature stud wear and discomfort.
After each use, remove excess mud from the upper using a soft brush and water. Ensure the metal studs are kept clean and free of debris. Always allow your boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, as extreme heat can damage the integrity of the knit upper and adhesives.
