Weighing in at just 230g, the Mercurial Vapor 4 is one of the lightest boots available. New technologies includa a Fibre-composite sole and patented Vapor Traction System which also offers improved traction and comfort - whether in firm or soft ground sole plates.
But the technology doesn't stop there. An injected TPU heel wrap with glass-fibre insert and lateral heel pods provide extra strength and protection to the ankle. Add to this a Moulded E.V.A. sock-liner will cushion impact at high speed.

Ronaldo, who will play in the boots for the first time against Newcastle tomorrow, said: "The thing I most liked was seeing the car accelerating with me ... and then me winning."
