These are designed for firm ground natural grass; while they may be used on some artificial surfaces, it is recommended to use dedicated AG boots to avoid excessive wear and potential injury.
Ensure about half an inch of space between your toes and the end of the boot, and ensure the lockdown across the midfoot feels secure without pinching.
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity and adhesives of the boots. Clean them by hand using a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
The Academy tier provides essential performance features and the signature Mercurial look at a more accessible level for dedicated club and recreational players.
Store in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources like radiators, which can cause the materials to warp or crack.
Use a specialized boot brush to clear the soleplate between halves if playing on damp natural grass.
Loosen the laces fully from the bottom eyelet upwards and adjust the tension to match your arch shape.
Wipe with a damp cloth immediately after use to prevent dirt from grinding into the material finish.
To ensure the best fit, pull the laces through the eyelets to achieve a snug lockdown that avoids heel slippage. The boots are designed for Firm Ground (FG); avoid using them on hard concrete or indoor surfaces to prevent premature wear of the studs. After each use, remove loose mud or grass clippings with a soft brush and store the boots in a cool, dry place. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or putting the boots in a washing machine, as excessive heat and moisture can damage the synthetic materials and adhesives.
