FAQs

Can I use these on grass pitches?

No, these are strictly Indoor Court (IC) boots. The outsole is designed for hard, flat surfaces and will not provide sufficient traction on grass or artificial turf.

Are these boots waterproof?

While the synthetic material is durable, they are not designed to be waterproof. They are meant for indoor use where moisture exposure is minimal.

How do I choose the right size?

The Mercurial range generally features a performance fit. If you prefer a bit of extra room, some users recommend trying on your standard size or half a size up if you have wider feet.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The Vapor series is designed with a sleek, aerodynamic profile that tends to be more snug. If you have very wide feet, you may find the initial fit quite tight.

How long do the soles last?

Longevity depends on the frequency of play and the abrasiveness of the indoor surface. Regular cleaning of the outsole will help maintain its effectiveness over time.

Troubleshooting

Accumulation of dust on outsole reducing grip

Wipe the bottom of the soles with a damp cloth or a sticky mat to restore the traction of the rubber compound.

Feeling of tightness across the midfoot

Ensure the laces are adjusted evenly to allow the synthetic upper to distribute pressure, or consider thinner performance socks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity and performance of your Mercurial Vapor 16 boots, follow these guidelines:

  1. Surface Compatibility: These are designated as IC (Indoor Court) boots. Only use them on indoor court flooring or flat, non-abrasive hard surfaces to prevent premature outsole wear.
  2. Break-in Period: While the synthetic upper is pliable, wear them for shorter periods during initial training to allow the material to mold to your foot shape.
  3. Cleaning: After play, wipe the upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or debris. Do not machine wash or use harsh chemicals as this can degrade the synthetic materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the rubber outsole and synthetic upper from becoming brittle.
