Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Mercurial Vapor 17 boots last throughout the season, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning: After each use on artificial turf, tap the soles together to remove loose rubber crumbs and sand. Wipe the upper with a damp cloth; avoid submerging them in water.
- Drying: Air dry the boots naturally in a well-ventilated area. Do not place them in a tumble dryer or directly against a radiator, as excessive heat can degrade the synthetic material and adhesives.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place. Using a shoe tree or stuffed newspaper can help the boots maintain their shape when not in use.
- Compatibility: These boots are exclusively designed for artificial turf (TF). While they may be worn on other surfaces, they will not provide the intended grip and may wear down prematurely on concrete or indoor gym floors.
