Mizuno Alpha II Elite FG - Silver - UK 9.5

The Mizuno Alpha II Elite FG boots are specifically designed with an FG (Firm Ground) soleplate, making them ideal for use on firm, natural grass pitches. They are not recommended for artificial turf or soft, muddy ground.

After each use, wipe off dirt and mud with a damp cloth or soft brush. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid using harsh chemicals or exposing them to direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.

`ZeroGlide` is a grip technology integrated into the boot's tongue, sockliner, and internal lining. It is designed to prevent your foot from slipping inside the boot, ensuring maximum power transfer and a locked-in feel during rapid movements and changes of direction.

`ENERZY foam` in the heel provides excellent cushioning and energy return. This means it absorbs impact forces more effectively while also giving you a springy, propulsive feel that helps drive you forward and reduces fatigue during play.

Yes, the laces included with the Mizuno Alpha II Elite FG boots are made from at least 90% recycled content, contributing to a more sustainable product.

These boots are exceptionally lightweight, weighing approximately 195g (for a UK 9.5). This contributes to their speed-focused design.

No, these boots are not recommended for artificial grass. The FG soleplate is optimized for natural firm ground and may not provide adequate grip or durability on artificial surfaces, and could also void your warranty.

Ensure your laces are tied securely to create a snug fit. The `ZeroGlide` technology on the sockliner and lining is designed to prevent this, so check if the boot size is correct; an overly large boot can still allow for movement. Also, verify that the `ZeroGlide removable sockliner` is properly seated.

Confirm that you are playing on a firm, natural grass surface. The FG soleplate is specifically designed for this. If playing on wet or muddy firm ground, traction might be slightly reduced compared to a soft ground (SG) boot. Check your studs for excessive wear or damage; worn studs will reduce grip.

Ensure you have the correct size. While the `Engineered Fit Last Neo` offers an ergonomic fit, a short break-in period might be needed. Wear appropriate football socks, and try adjusting your lacing technique to find the optimal tension across your foot. Persistent discomfort might indicate an incorrect size or fit for your foot type.

This is often due to improper drying. Avoid drying your boots with direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight. Always air dry them naturally at room temperature. Regular cleaning after use also helps maintain the material's integrity and flexibility.
