FAQs

Are these boots suitable for natural grass pitches?

No, these are turf (TF) football boots and are designed with specific traction patterns optimized for artificial turf surfaces. They are not recommended for natural grass.

How do I clean the NIKESKIN upper?

Wipe the NIKESKIN upper with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Always air dry.

What is the benefit of the Zoom Air cushioning?

The Zoom Air unit provides responsive cushioning and excellent energy return, helping young players feel quicker and more agile on the pitch by reducing fatigue.

How does the Mbappe branding add to the shoe?

The Mbappe Chapter 2 signature edition incorporates design elements inspired by Kylian Mbappe's preferences, including nods to the Air Max Plus 7, offering a unique aesthetic for fans.

What is the sizing like for these kids' boots?

These are children's sizes. It is recommended to measure your child's foot and consult the Nike size guide for the most accurate fit, as sizing can vary between models.

Can these boots be used for multi-sport activities?

While they offer good traction on turf, they are specifically engineered for football. For other sports, using footwear designed for that specific activity is recommended for optimal performance and safety.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight

Wear with thin socks initially. If the tightness persists, consider trying a half-size larger or consult with a shoe fitting specialist. The NIKESKIN material may offer some stretch over time.

Traction feels insufficient on wet turf

While designed for turf, extremely wet conditions can reduce grip. Ensure the turf surface is not excessively waterlogged. Clean the outsole studs regularly to remove any lodged debris.

Zoom Air unit feels unresponsive

The Zoom Air unit is designed for dynamic energy return during activity. Ensure the shoe is properly laced and that the cushioning is engaging with impact. If the issue persists after several uses, contact customer support.

Difficulty pulling boots on

Utilize the dual pull tabs. Ensure the boot opening is fully extended before inserting the foot. If it remains difficult, the size might be too small.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These football boots are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure the correct size is selected for a snug but comfortable fit. The dual pull tabs can assist in pulling them on easily.

Compatibility: These boots are specifically designed for turf (TF) surfaces. They are not recommended for use on firm ground (FG), soft ground (SG), or indoor courts as the soleplate is optimized for artificial turf traction.

Care: To maintain the condition of your boots:

  1. Cleaning: After use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag to protect them from dust and damage.
