FAQs
Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?
These boots are engineered for firm natural grass (FG). Using them on artificial turf may lead to excessive wear and reduced traction; check the specific surface requirements of your pitch.
How do I maintain the leather material?
Clean them with a damp cloth after each use. Store them in a cool, dry place and avoid direct heat to prevent the leather from drying out.
Is this boot waterproof?
While the leather is water-resistant to a degree, it is not fully waterproof. We recommend avoiding deep puddles to keep the boots in the best condition.
What does FG stand for?
FG stands for Firm Ground, meaning these boots are best suited for hard, natural grass fields.
How should the boots fit?
They should feel snug and secure around the foot without being constrictive, ensuring no internal slipping during explosive movements.
Troubleshooting
Studs collecting excessive grass or mud
Use a plastic boot scraper or a soft brush to clear the gaps between studs after each match to maintain optimal traction.
Feeling discomfort during the first use
Leather boots may need a short break-in period. Wear them for light training sessions before using them in full-intensity matches to allow the material to conform to your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike Mercurial Vapor 15 Elite boots, avoid wearing them on abrasive surfaces such as concrete or gravel, as this can prematurely wear down the studs. After playing, remove excess dirt or mud using a soft-bristled brush. Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area—never place them near a radiator or direct heat source, as this can cause the leather to crack or lose its shape. For compatibility, ensure you are using this FG (Firm Ground) variant on natural grass surfaces to maintain peak performance and avoid unnecessary strain on the boot's structure.
