Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Nike Mercurial Vapor XVII Academy boots, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: The boots feature a performance-oriented, snug fit. Ensure the laces are fully adjusted to provide the desired level of lockdown across the midfoot.
- Surface Compatibility: These boots are equipped with a Firm Ground (FG) soleplate. They are designed for use on natural grass pitches and should not be used on artificial turf or hard surfaces, as this can lead to premature stud wear or injury.
- Cleaning: After each session, wipe the boots down with a damp cloth to remove mud and debris. Avoid soaking the boots in water or using harsh detergents, which can damage the NikeSkin material.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never place them near a radiator, heater, or in direct sunlight, as high heat can warp the soleplate and damage the upper structure.
