Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Mercurial Superfly XI boots last throughout the season, follow these steps:
- Break-in: Wear them during shorter training drills before using them in a full match to let the Dynamic Fit collar mold to your ankle.
- Cleaning: After play, knock off excess mud. Use a soft-bristled brush and lukewarm water to clean the upper; avoid harsh detergents that could damage the gold finish.
- Drying: Air dry the boots naturally. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can cause the synthetic materials to crack or lose their shape.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place and use a shoe tree or stuffed paper to maintain their shape when not in use.
