FAQs

Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?

No, the Controlplate 2.0 outsole is designed for firm ground (FG) natural grass pitches and is not recommended for artificial surfaces.

How do I clean the Hybridfeel upper?

Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently clean the synthetic upper. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh cleaning agents.

What does the fold-over tongue with strap do?

The fold-over tongue provides a classic aesthetic and the strap helps to secure the tongue in place, ensuring a consistent fit during play.

Are these boots lightweight?

Yes, these latest Predator boots are designed to be lighter than previous models to encourage faster, more agile play.

What is the benefit of Strikescale elements?

Strikescale elements are designed to increase grip on the ball, enhancing swerve and precision when shooting or passing.

Can these boots be used for training and matches?

Yes, they are built for performance and durability, making them suitable for both intense training sessions and competitive matches on firm ground.

Do these boots come in other colors?

While this guide focuses on the 'Lucid Blue/Footwear White/Solar Red' colorway, the Predator League model may be available in other colors. Please check product listings for current availability.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure laces are not overtightened. Break in the boots gradually by wearing them for short periods. Adjust the fold-over tongue position if necessary.

Traction feels poor on the pitch

Confirm you are playing on a firm ground (FG) natural grass surface. Clean the studs of any packed dirt or debris. Inspect studs for excessive wear.

Strikescale elements are not providing expected grip

Ensure the upper is clean and dry. The Strikescale elements work best when the ball has a clean surface to interact with. Grit or mud can impede performance.

Fold-over tongue slips during play

Ensure the securing strap is properly fastened. If the strap is not holding effectively, check for wear or consider alternative lacing techniques to secure the tongue.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced shooting precision and ball grip due to Strikescale elements.
  • Superior ball control and touch from the Hybridfeel upper.
  • Secure and customizable fit with the fold-over tongue and strap.
  • Excellent stability and traction on firm, natural grass pitches.
  • Classic Predator aesthetic appealing to long-time fans of the series.

Cons

  • Firm ground outsole is not ideal for artificial turf.
  • Fold-over tongue may require adjustment for some players.
  • Synthetic upper may offer less natural feel than leather for some users.
  • Midcut collar might feel restrictive for players preferring low-cut boots.
  • Focus on shooting precision might mean less emphasis on extreme agility for some positions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These boots feature a lace closure system combined with a fold-over tongue secured by a strap. For optimal fit, lace the boots snugly, ensuring the tongue lies flat and the strap is fastened to keep it in place. The midcut collar should provide a comfortable, supportive feel around the ankle.

Compatibility: The Controlplate 2.0 outsole is specifically designed for firm ground (FG) natural grass pitches. It is not recommended for use on artificial grass or hard surfaces, as this can lead to premature wear and reduced performance.

Care: After each use, remove excess dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the boots in water. Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, to preserve the materials. Store them in a cool, dry place.
