Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Mercurial Vapor 17 boots, it is essential to follow basic care guidelines. Because these are built for artificial surfaces, avoid using them on abrasive concrete or gravel, as this will accelerate the wear of the rubber outsole.
Care Instructions:
- After playing, remove excess mud or turf rubber pellets using a soft brush.
- Wipe the upper clean with a damp cloth; avoid using harsh chemicals or industrial detergents that might dry out the leather material.
- Air dry the boots in a cool, shaded area. Never place them directly on radiators or use a hairdryer, as extreme heat can warp the materials and compromise the adhesive bonds.
- If the footbed becomes excessively damp, stuff the boots with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
