FAQs
What type of pitch are these boots designed for?
These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches, which are typically wet, muddy, and uneven.
Can I use these boots on artificial grass?
No, these SG boots are not suitable for artificial grass. Using them on artificial surfaces can damage the studs and the boot, and may lead to injury.
How do I care for my Mercurial Superfly boots?
After use, clean off mud with a soft brush and wipe with a damp cloth. Dry naturally away from heat. Store in a cool, dry place.
Are spare studs included with the boots?
No, spare metal studs are not included. You will need to purchase compatible spare studs and a stud key separately if needed.
What is the benefit of the Gripknit upper?
Gripknit is a sticky, weather-resistant yarn that enhances the connection between the boot and the ball, providing improved control and consistent touch, especially in wet conditions.
How does the Zoom Air unit improve performance?
The Zoom Air unit in the forefoot provides responsive cushioning and energy return, helping you stay faster for longer by reducing fatigue and enhancing explosiveness.
What is the purpose of the Dynamic Fit collar?
The Dynamic Fit collar is designed to provide a secure, sock-like fit around your ankle, offering comfort, support, and lockdown for enhanced stability during play.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Allow for a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially. The Flyknit, Atomknit, and Gripknit materials will mold to your foot over time. Ensure you have the correct size and width for your foot.
Traction feels insufficient on very wet ground.
Ensure the studs are clean and free of debris. Check that the studs are screwed in securely. If performance degrades significantly over time, consider replacing the studs.
Studs become loose during play.
Use a stud key to tighten the studs before and during play as needed. If studs repeatedly loosen, check for damage to the threading in the boot or on the studs. Replace if necessary.
Waterlogging or material degradation after use in wet conditions.
Ensure the boots are properly cleaned and dried after every use. Avoid prolonged soaking and always allow them to air dry naturally away from heat sources.
Reduced ball feel or control.
Verify that the Gripknit upper is clean, as mud or debris can affect its texture. Ensure the laces are tied appropriately for a snug fit without restricting circulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Stud Replacement: If necessary, use a stud key (sold separately) to unscrew and replace the metal studs. Ensure new studs are compatible with the boot's threading.
- Initial Fit: Wear the boots around the house for a short period to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape. The Dynamic Fit collar and minimalist upper are designed for a snug fit.
Compatibility:
- These boots are specifically designed for Soft Ground (SG) pitches, typically wet and muddy conditions.
- They are not recommended for use on artificial grass, firm ground, or hard indoor surfaces, as this can damage the studs and soleplate, and may lead to injury.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess mud with a soft brush. Wipe the boots clean with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Stuff the boots with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture and help them retain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or heaters, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, away from direct sunlight.
