FAQs
What is the difference between FG and MG?
FG (Firm Ground) boots are designed for natural grass fields, while MG (Multi-Ground) boots are designed for use on both natural and artificial grass surfaces. The Mercurial Superfly 10 Academy FG/MG is a multi-ground boot.
How should I clean my boots?
Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or putting them in a washing machine.
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
The Mercurial Superfly line generally has a snug fit. Players with wider feet may find the fit restrictive. It is recommended to try them on or consider a half size up.
What is the Dynamic Fit collar?
The Dynamic Fit collar provides a snug and supportive fit around the ankle for enhanced comfort and stability.
How long will the Zoom Air cushioning last?
The lifespan of the Zoom Air cushioning depends on usage and playing conditions. However, it is designed to provide responsive cushioning throughout the life of the boot.
Can I use these boots on turf?
While the FG/MG designation allows for use on artificial grass, consider a dedicated turf boot for optimal performance and longevity on artificial surfaces. Frequent use on aggressive turf may wear down the studs faster.
What if my boots get wet?
Allow your boots to air dry naturally, away from direct sunlight or heat. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight.
Ensure you have the correct size. Consider trying a half size up or stretching the boots using a shoe stretcher. Wear thinner socks.
Studs are wearing down quickly.
Avoid using the boots on excessively abrasive surfaces. Rotate between multiple pairs of boots if playing frequently.
Difficult to get a good grip on the field.
Make sure you are using the correct type of boots for the playing surface. FG/MG boots are designed for a variety of surfaces, but they may not perform as well in very muddy conditions.
