Amazing grip, love the aggressive type studs, could clean pretty easily, and molded to my feet like a sock. Would recommend if you’re not on a budget.

Nike Mercurial Vapor 16 Elite
Firm-Ground Low-Top Soccer Cleats
Obsessed with speed? So are the game's biggest stars. That's why we made these Elite cleats with an improved 3/4-length Air Zoom unit. It gives you and the sport's fastest players the propulsive feel needed to break through the back line. The result is the most responsive Mercurial we've ever made, because you demand greatness from yourself and your footwear.

Fast Traction
The wave-like traction pattern works with the Air Zoom unit to unlock your blazing speed. It takes up more surface area of the Air Zoom unit compared to the Vapor 15 while providing the right amount of grip. It combines with chevron and blade studs to help you stop when making cuts.
Exceptional Touch
Nike Gripknit, a sticky material that provides exceptional touch to the ball, gives you the control you needs when dribbling at high speeds. It provides equal grip in wet or dry conditions.
Snug Fit
The Flyknit upper, engineered for the game's fastest players, provides a sock-like fit. It combines with Gripknit to form the thinnest Mercurial upper to date, bringing you closer to the ball and shortening break-in time.

Outstanding boot. Best Nike boot ever?

These are the comfiest boots I’ve owned in a long while. They are so smart, I love the addition of the grippy texture on the boot. These are the first boots I’ve had in a long while that I haven’t really had to wear in, I have worn them for 3 sessions now and I haven’t had any issues with blisters etc. I would totally recommend.
DO NOT BUY!!

My son has worn Nike boots for as long as I can remember & he always finds them comfortable & a good quality boot, however he has worn these Mercurials for the first time today & they look like he’s had them for years! The material is terrible & I cannot get the stains out! Disappointed doesn’t even come close & I can’t believe with the price they are that they would look like this after just being worn once! If I could give one star then I would, absolutely shocking!
