FAQs
Can these be used for outdoor artificial grass?
No, these are specifically designed with an indoor-court sole. Using them on abrasive surfaces like turf will damage the rubber grip.
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult athletic sizing, but the minimalist upper provides a snug, performance-fit.
How do I clean the white markings off the black upper?
Use a soft brush and a damp cloth with mild soap; gently rub the affected area and wipe clean.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
They feature a cushioned insole for comfort, but players needing specific orthopedic support may consider an aftermarket insole.
Is the material waterproof?
The synthetic material is water-resistant, but these are not designed to be worn in rainy outdoor conditions.
Troubleshooting
Accumulation of dust on the outsole causing slips
Periodically wipe the bottom of the rubber soles with a damp cloth during gameplay to restore traction.
Feeling discomfort after the first wear
The synthetic upper requires a short break-in period; wear them for light training sessions before competitive matches to let the material mold to your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Mercurial Vapor 16 shoes last throughout the season, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Surface Compatibility: These are designated as IC (Indoor Court) shoes. Use them strictly on indoor surfaces to avoid premature wear on the rubber outsole.
- Cleaning: After play, wipe down the synthetic upper with a damp cloth to remove dust and court residue. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never use a heater or tumble dryer, as extreme heat can warp the synthetic materials and adhesive.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the upper material from becoming brittle over time.
