Some tips to keeping you boots clean and extending their life.
1 knock most of the large lumps off after a game,
2 when you get home take them out of the bag,
3 clean the mud off using a nail brush and a old tooth brush,
4 Dry the water off using a kitchen towel,leave them to dry further
5, now apply some dubbing any type, into the whole upper of the boot
6, clean out your boot bag as most players for get to do this and end up putting their clean boots in a dirty boot bag.
For removing scuff from synthetic boots i put a small ammount of cif on the boots and leave it to stand for a few min the rub it off using a cloth.
hope this helps

After every use get a hot damp cloth and wipe the boots all over, apart from underneath. If they are really muddy then id use a wet colth and rub gently till the mud comes off. Then for the bottom of the boots get a old tooth brush and soapy water and scrub away.. once they have dryed rub in some chelsea dubbin with a clean cloth all over the leather parts of the boots. Then youll be good.

All i know is that clean them with a damp cloth and away from the radiator and all will fine. I polish them occasionally.

It’s nothing to do with you or how you clean them. It’s a defect present in Nike football boots. Send them back to Nike if you can and they will replace them. I remember seein this complaint of watchdog and it happened to ALOT of people.
