FAQs

Can I use these boots on artificial grass?

No, these are designed for soft ground. Using them on artificial surfaces can cause excessive wear and potentially lead to injury due to high traction.

How should I clean the upper?

Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water. Gently wipe the surface to remove dirt and then wipe with a clean, dry cloth.

Is the Dynamic Fit collar removable?

No, the collar is integrated into the boot construction to provide support and stability for your ankle.

Are these boots suitable for wide feet?

The Mercurial series typically features a streamlined, narrow fit. If you have very wide feet, you may find the initial break-in period requires more time.

What is the best way to dry them?

Always air dry at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or heaters, as these can warp the materials and glue.

What surface type are these for?

These boots are intended for use on soft ground surfaces that are wet, muddy, or heavy.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel loose or unstable

Ensure the laces are tightened evenly and check that the Dynamic Fit collar is pulled completely over your ankle for a secure fit.

Mud accumulation on the soleplate

Clean the studs thoroughly after each game using a plastic scraper or soft-bristled brush to maintain grip effectiveness.

Material stiffness after storage

Allow the boots to sit at room temperature for a short period before wearing; do not use external heat sources like radiators to soften them.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Secure ankle support provided by the Dynamic Fit collar
  • Excellent ball grip on wet, slippery surfaces
  • High-traction soleplate prevents slipping during sharp turns
  • Lightweight build promotes speed and quick transitions

Cons

  • Not suitable for hard, dry, or artificial grass surfaces
  • Requires proper care to prevent degradation of the soft ground studs
  • High-collar design may feel restrictive for players who prefer traditional low-cut boots

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before your first match, ensure you have properly laced the boots to suit your foot shape while utilizing the Dynamic Fit collar for a snug wrap. These boots are specifically compatible with soft ground (SG) pitches; using them on artificial grass or hard dirt can cause premature wear to the soleplate and studs. To maintain the boots, remove loose mud after every game using a soft brush. Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the materials.
