FAQs
Can I use these boots on artificial grass?

How should I clean the NikeSkin upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive brushes that could tear the upper material.
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
The Mercurial series typically features a slimmer, performance fit. If the player has wider feet, they may find the fit quite snug.
How often should I clean my boots?
It is recommended to clean them after every use to prevent debris from hardening and damaging the material.
What is the best way to dry them if they get wet?
Stuff them with newspaper or a dry cloth to absorb moisture and let them air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat.
What does 'Academy' mean in the product name?
The Academy designation denotes that these are mid-tier, reliable boots designed for competitive training and match play, balancing durability with performance features.
Troubleshooting
Studs are accumulating excess mud
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove caked mud after play to maintain grip.
Boots feel slippery on synthetic turf
Check if the studs are clogged with rubber pellets and clear them out to ensure full contact with the turf.
Upper material is becoming stiff
Wipe with a damp cloth and ensure they are dried properly; do not use heavy oils or polishes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, confirm that the UK 1.5 size offers a snug but comfortable fit, as football boots should not have excessive room in the toe area. These boots are compatible with standard outdoor natural grass fields and artificial grass (AG) pitches; however, avoid using them on concrete or hard indoor surfaces to prevent premature stud wear. For maintenance, wipe the boots down with a damp cloth after every match to remove dirt and grass debris. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or throwing them in the washing machine, as this can degrade the synthetic NikeSkin material. Always allow the boots to air dry naturally in a cool, ventilated space away from direct heat sources like radiators.
