FAQs

What does AGPro mean?

AGPro stands for Artificial Grass Pro. It indicates that these football boots are specifically engineered and optimized for superior performance and comfort on modern artificial grass pitches.

Can I use these boots on natural grass?

These boots are designed exclusively for artificial grass. Using them on natural grass can lead to reduced performance, excessive stud wear, and potential damage to the boot.

How do I clean the tacky finish on the upper?

Gently wipe the surface with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.

How does the Zoom Air cushioning work?

The Zoom Air unit is a pressurized air pocket embedded in the midsole that provides responsive cushioning. When your foot strikes the ground, the air compresses, then rebounds, offering enhanced energy return.

What is the benefit of the wave studs at the forefoot?

The wave studs are designed to work in conjunction with the Zoom Air unit. They engage more of the unit when your foot meets the ground, maximizing energy return and helping you stay faster for longer.

How do I care for the Flyknit upper?

The Flyknit upper is durable but should be cleaned gently with a damp cloth. Avoid excessive moisture and allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

Who are these boots endorsed by?

The Mercurial range is endorsed by top athletes including Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr, Cristiano Ronaldo, Sam Kerr, and Ada Hegerberg.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size. New boots may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short sessions initially and gradually increase the duration. Check lacing for optimal tightness.

Lack of traction on artificial grass

Verify that the boots are being used on an appropriate artificial grass surface. Clean any embedded dirt from the studs, as this can significantly reduce grip.

Reduced energy return or responsiveness

Ensure the Zoom Air unit is not compromised. Check for any visible damage to the soleplate or studs. Consistent use on the correct surface is key to experiencing the designed responsiveness.

Upper material feels stiff

This is normal for new Flyknit uppers. Wear them during light training sessions or around the house to help them mold to your foot shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional energy return due to Zoom Air and wave stud design.
  • Superior grip and stability for rapid acceleration and agile movements.
  • Lightweight and comfortable with a close-to-ball feel.
  • Designed for optimal performance on artificial grass surfaces.
  • Durable construction for consistent play.

Cons

  • Exclusively designed for artificial grass; performance may be compromised on natural turf.
  • The minimalist upper may require a short break-in period for some users.
  • High-performance features may be overkill for casual players.
  • Requires specific cleaning and care to maintain optimal performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These boots come ready to wear. Ensure they are the correct size and fit snugly without being uncomfortably tight. The laces should be tied securely but not excessively to allow for natural foot movement.

Compatibility: The AGPro designation means these boots are specifically designed and optimized for use on modern artificial grass pitches. They are not recommended for use on natural grass, hard ground, or indoor courts as this can affect performance and potentially damage the stud configuration.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or soaking the boots in water.
  2. Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, to protect them from dust and moisture. Ensure they are completely dry before storing.
  4. Insoles: If removable, take out the insoles to allow them to dry separately and prevent odor buildup.
