CHOOSING THE RIGHT SIZE OF VIRALTO II MATADOR LEATHER FOOTBALL BOOT?
To ensure your feet are as comfortable as possible we recommend choosing a football boot that is half a size smaller than your usual size. The leather upper is naturally very supple and, unlike synthetic materials, will stretch and fit the contours of your foot. For your VIRALTO II boots, pick a half size smaller (U.K. size, 1 Euro size) than your usual boot sizeIf you normally wear a size 9-1/2 (UK) for football boots, we recommend choosing a size 9 (UK) for your VIRALTO II boots

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. 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.
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 TPU with different hardness properties, 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.
WHAT IS THE "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, sloppy passes and off-target strikes. 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 multitude of choices all made with a single goal: 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 lastly, a tongue made of calfskin, attached at the base and that doesn't twist, ensures the boot hugs your foot nice and snug during play.
