FAQs

How do I measure my foot to find the correct size?

Measure the length of your foot from the heel's most protruding point to the tip of your longest toe. Compare this measurement to the provided size chart. If your measurement falls between two sizes, select the larger one. Remember that the CM size on shoe boxes differs from foot length (cm).

Can I use these boots on artificial grass?

No, these boots are specifically designed with an FG (Firm Ground) soleplate for natural grass pitches. Using them on artificial grass can damage the soleplate and reduce their lifespan and performance.

What is the purpose of the Zoom Air unit?

The Zoom Air unit provides responsive cushioning, offering a spring-like sensation with each step to enhance quickness and agility on the pitch.

How do I clean the Flyknit upper?

Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently clean the Flyknit upper. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the boots, as this can damage the material.

What is the main benefit of the All-Speed Grip texture?

The All-Speed Grip texture is integrated into the upper to provide enhanced ball control, especially when dribbling at high speeds.

What is the 'Blueprint Pack' colourway?

The Blueprint Pack refers to a specific color scheme for this boot model, featuring a White and Racer Blue color combination.

Are these boots suitable for wide feet?

The Mercurial line is generally known for a more streamlined, performance-oriented fit. While the Flyknit offers some adaptability, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. It's best to refer to the size guide and consider trying them on if possible.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable

Try wearing them around the house with athletic socks for a few hours to allow them to break in. Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the provided foot measurement guide. If discomfort persists, consider if the fit is suitable for your foot shape.

Traction is poor on the pitch

Ensure the FG studs are clean and free from mud or debris. The boots are designed for firm, natural grass; performance may vary on different surfaces. Check if the pitch conditions match the intended use of the FG soleplate.

Upper material feels stiff

This is normal for new Flyknit uppers. Continued wear and conforming to your foot shape will soften the material. Gentle stretching or wearing them for short periods initially can help speed up the process.

Stitching appears loose

Inspect the stitching carefully. If it is minor and does not affect the structural integrity, it may be a cosmetic issue. For significant issues, contact customer support regarding warranty.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These football boots are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably before use. It is recommended to wear athletic socks suitable for football.

Compatibility: The FG (Firm Ground) plate is designed specifically for use on *natural grass pitches*. It is not recommended for artificial grass, hard ground, or indoor surfaces, as this can damage the soleplate and reduce performance.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a breathable shoe bag to maintain their shape and condition.
