FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for grass fields?
This depends on the specific outsole version (TF vs Firm Ground). Please check the sole pattern against your intended playing surface.
How do I determine the correct size for my child?
Use a standard foot measurement tool and refer to the Nike size chart, leaving roughly 0.5cm of space at the toe for comfort.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the materials and bonding agents. Hand-clean with mild soap and water only.
Are these trainers waterproof?
While the materials are resistant to moisture, they are not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged play in heavy rain to keep them in good condition.
Do these shoes need a break-in period?
Yes, wearing them for light practice sessions before competitive matches will help the materials mold to the foot.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty getting the foot into the shoe
Ensure the laces are fully loosened before entry and use a shoehorn if the snug ankle collar feels tight.
Accumulation of mud in the outsole pattern
Use a plastic scraper or soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud after play to maintain optimal traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike Mercurial Vapor 16 Trainers, it is important to match the sole configuration to your specific playing surface (e.g., Astro Turf or Firm Ground). To care for them, remove loose dirt after each session using a soft brush. If the trainers become wet, stuff them with newspaper to help them retain their shape while air-drying in a cool, ventilated area. Avoid using high-heat sources like radiators, as these can damage the synthetic materials or loosen the adhesives.
