FAQs

What does 'IC' mean in the product name?

'IC' stands for Indoor/Court, indicating that these shoes are specifically designed for use on indoor football pitches, asphalt, and hard court surfaces.

Can I use these shoes on outdoor grass fields?

No, these shoes are specifically designed for indoor and hard court use. Using them on outdoor grass (natural or artificial) can damage the outsole and compromise your grip and safety.

How do I clean my Nike Air Zoom Mercurial Superfly X Club IC shoes?

Wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth. For the outsole, use a brush to remove dirt. Allow them to air dry naturally, avoiding direct heat sources.

What is the benefit of the textured upper?

The all-over texturing on the lightweight synthetic upper is designed to enhance ball control and dribbling precision, allowing for better manipulation of the ball.

Are these shoes suitable for players with wide feet?

These shoes feature a contoured design for a snug fit. While they adapt to the foot, players with wider feet might find them quite fitted. It's recommended to try them on to ensure comfort.

Why is the outsole design important for indoor play?

The grippy rubber outsole with its hybrid tread is finetuned for responsiveness on indoor surfaces. This design provides optimal traction for quick changes of direction, acceleration, and sudden stops crucial for indoor football.

Troubleshooting

Lack of grip on indoor surfaces

Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris. Verify that you are playing on a suitable indoor or hard court surface, as these shoes are not designed for other types of pitches.

Shoe feels uncomfortable or too tight

Check if the laces are tied too tightly or unevenly. Loosen and re-tie for a more balanced fit. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size; the contoured fit is snug but should not cause pain.

Unpleasant odor developing inside the shoes

After each use, remove the insoles and allow the shoes to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. Consider using shoe deodorizers or placing small sachets of baking soda inside the shoes when storing them.
