CHOOSING THE RIGHT SIZE OF VIRALTO II FOOTBALL BOOT?
To ensure your feet are as comfortable as possible we recommend choosing a football boot a half size (U.K., 1 size European) smaller than your usual sizeUnlike synthetic materials, the supple natural leather upper will stretch and mould to your feet.
Your usual shoe size - 1 = your VIRALTO II size.
If you normally wear a size 9-1/2 (UK) for football boots, we recommend choosing a size 9 (UK) for your VIRALTO II boots
HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR VIRALTO II LEATHER FOOTBALL BOOTS
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
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. High quality and traceable, it complies with all the regulations currently in force. In collaboration with our approved supplier, we use the best parts of the hide to guarantee the best possible quality in the parts of the boot that are most in contact with the ball.
FLEX-H AND DUAL HARDNESS TECHNOLOGIES: WHAT ARE THEY?
In order to provide you with optimum flexibility for sudden changes of direction and push-offs, mad dashes and between-the-lines passes, we use the following two technologies: The first, Flex-H, on the front of the outsole, allows the sole to bend following the shape of a horizontal "H". The second, Dual Hardness, combines materials of different hardness qualities, providing more flexibility or support depending on the targeted zone.
"SAFE CARE": FOOTBALL BOOTS THAT PUT YOUR FEET FIRST: DO THEY EVEN EXIST?
We designed these football boots together with a podiatrist specializing in sports and professional football. 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 positions on the boot, were specifically researched and designed to ensure the best balance of grip and comfort.
SO WHAT IS AN OPTIMAL STRIKE ZONE?
We enlarged the main surface area that makes contact with the ball by placing the laces in an asymmetric line. The axis along which the laces are placed was shifted to the outside by 10 degrees to provide you with a larger sweet spot for controlling, passing and striking the ball. There's nothing to hold you back from showing off your best moves! Say goodbye to missed dribbles, close-but-not-quite passes, and strikes that land in the stands. Your coach and team members will be delighted!
WANT TO KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO WEAR A VIRALTO II FOOTBALL BOOT? LET'S TAKE A TOUR.
These football boots are the result of a host of decisions taken with one goal in mind: create a comfortable football boot! Calfskin on the forefoot, foam and imitation suede leather lining at the heel, a preshaped insole with anti-chaffing coating on the top side, and a calf leather tongue fixed to the base of the boot and which stays firmly in place and offers maximum, foot-hugging support.
WHAT'S VIRALTO?
Viralto is our all new product line! We created no fewer than 4 new models of this football boot, all focused on comfort and flexibility. Two of them are made of leather and two of synthetic materials. Each model has its own set of advantages depending on your expectations, requirements, and budget. These models are available with an FG, MG, SG or Turf (TF) outsole. So you'll no longer have excuses on the pitch for not controlling the ball and squashing the opposition!
