Caring For Synthetic Leather Football Boots

Synthetic leather football boots are becoming more and more popular. Nike have the Mercurial Vapor’s, Puma the V1.06 and Adidas +F50 TUNiT.

In fact, nearly all of the major football boot manufacturers now have a synthetic upper football boot, but how do you clean these boots which are not made from leather?

Follow the instructions from the first series, Caring for your Football Boots. However, you do not want to use any abrasive brush or cloth on the football boot upper.

Also, do not use any oil, Dubbin or nourishment on your synthetic leather football boots. Synthetic leather football boots can be damaged if you use a detergent or a polish.

    my nike mercurials were great until i realized that the material (the upper) is slowly coming apart from my studs. I havent even finished a full season with them.
    got any tips on what to use to adhere the boots back together, i have tried super glue but it doesnt work.
    I need help bad, i have provincials soon.

  • leather all the way

    to get the marks off u have to go to a shop and ask for some nice leather boots. then get some polish the same colour from a shop and use this after every game.

    no marks on boots job done!
