FAQs

What does 'AS FG' mean?

'AS' typically refers to the specific pack or colorway (e.g., 'Always Forward' or 'Rising Gem Pack'), and 'FG' stands for Firm Ground, indicating the type of surface they are designed for.

How do I clean the metallic soleplate?

Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth. Ensure it is dried thoroughly.

Are these boots suitable for wide feet?

The Mercurial Vapor series is generally known for a more streamlined, performance-oriented fit, which can be narrow. It's recommended to try them on if possible, or consult sizing charts carefully.

Can I use these boots on artificial grass?

No, these Firm Ground (FG) boots are specifically designed for natural grass. Using them on artificial surfaces can lead to reduced performance, increased risk of injury, and damage to the studs.

What is the benefit of the Air Zoom unit?

The Air Zoom unit provides responsive cushioning, offering a springy sensation that helps with acceleration and reduces impact during hard landings and quick movements.

How does the Vaporposite+ upper enhance performance?

Vaporposite+ combines a mesh base with a high-strength film, offering a lightweight yet durable upper that enhances ball grip and control, providing a barefoot-like sensation.

When were these boots released?

This particular colorway from the Rising Gem Pack was released on May 5, 2024.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable

Allow for a break-in period of a few training sessions. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly, not overly tightened, to accommodate foot shape. If discomfort persists, the fit may not be suitable for your foot type.

Traction feels inconsistent on the pitch

Confirm you are using the boots on the intended firm ground surface. Check the studs for any debris or wear. Clean the studs thoroughly after each use.

Upper material feels stiff

This is normal for the Vaporposite+ material initially. Repeated wear and use in appropriate conditions will help the material conform to your foot.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional ball feel and control due to the Vaporposite+ upper.
  • Responsive cushioning from the Air Zoom unit enhances agility.
  • Optimized traction for firm ground pitches, allowing for quick directional changes.
  • Lightweight design contributes to faster movements and reduced fatigue.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for firm ground; performance may be compromised on other surfaces.
  • The snug, barefoot-like fit might require a brief adjustment period.
  • High-performance features may come at a premium price point.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These football boots are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly by lacing them up securely, adjusting the fit to your preference. The lacing system is designed to work with the upper for a personalized lockdown.

Compatibility: The 'FG' designation indicates these boots are designed for Firm Ground surfaces, typically natural grass pitches that are dry or only slightly wet. They are not recommended for use on artificial grass, hard ground, or very wet, muddy pitches as this can affect performance and potentially damage the studs.

Care: After use, gently brush off any excess dirt and mud from the upper and soleplate using a soft brush or damp cloth. Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the materials. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use.
