CHOOSING THE RIGHT VIRALTO II FOOTBALL BOOT
Having a leather forefoot means that the Viralto II football boots perfectly fit the shape of kids' feet as the leather moulds itself to the wearer. We therefore recommend choosing a size that's nice and snug (don't go for the next size up).
Leather is naturally breathable, which lets kids' feet breathe and prevents the development of unpleasant odours.
THE ULTIMATE CHOICE FOR LOVERS OF COMFORT: LEATHER FOOTBALL BOOTS
"Master of the pitch" who loves leather football boots? We have created a model just for you! The forefoot of these Viralto II football boots is made of calfskin leather. We use a high quality leather that is tracked and fully compliant with all regulations. Together with our certified supplier, we use the best part of the leather in order to provide you with the best quality possible on the portions of the foot that come into contact with the ball most often.
QUALITY LEATHER THAT NEEDS LOOKING AFTER.
Do you have a habit of leaving your mud-clogged boots in your bag after training and then pulling them out again just before the next session? STOP!!!
To continue to enjoy your boots, you have to put in the time. As with any leather boot, these boots require a minimum of care. That's why we've developed a care kit that you can find here: https://www.decathlon.fr/p/kit-entretien-chaussure-essential/_/R-p-339843?mc=8756736
PRECISION COUNTS, WITH THE "OPTIMAL STRIKE ZONE"
Who can honestly say they've never messed up a first touch or a pass? OK, so it's not entirely your boots' fault, but we've decided to give young players a helping hand all the same.
With the Optimal Strike Zone, we've shifted the laces 10° towards the outside of the boot to increase the contact surface between the ball and foot. This gives kids a much better surface for controlling, passing and shooting.
So you've got no more excuses not to show off your best technical skills!
"SAFE CARE": FOOTBALL BOOTS THAT PUT YOUR FEET FIRST: DO THEY EVEN EXIST?
We've designed these football boots together with a podiatrist specializing in sports and young footballers. Together, we designed and validated the various technologies and concepts used in these football boots. For example, when creating the outsole, the number of studs, their rounded shape, and their locations on the boot, were specifically researched and designed to ensure the best balance of grip and comfort.
Moulded, turf, synthetic, screw-in: A LOOK AT THE DIFFERENT FOOTBALL BOOT SOLES
The Viralto I comes in 4 different sole variants. These refer to the type of pitch you play on: - TF (Turf or stabilized): rubber sole for hard synthetic or slate pitches. - FG (Firm Ground): the famous "moulded" TPU studs made for long natural or synthetic grass- MG/AG: (Artificial): sole specially designed for synthetic pitches.
- SG (Soft Ground): for soft or muddy pitches; a hybrid sole that has 6 screw-in studs.
