FAQs
What type of surface are these boots best suited for?
These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) football pitches, which are typically wet or muddy natural grass surfaces.
How do I adjust the studs?
A special key is provided with the boots. Use this key to screw in or unscrew the metal studs for optimal grip based on pitch conditions.
Will these boots work on artificial turf?
No, these soft ground boots are not recommended for artificial turf or firm ground. Using them on these surfaces can cause damage to the boots and reduce performance.
How do I clean my Predator Pro boots?
After playing, brush off excess mud. Clean the boots with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Always air dry them naturally away from direct heat.
Are half sizes available?
Yes, half sizes are available in selected sizes to help players find a more precise and comfortable fit.
What is the benefit of the Strikeskin elements?
The Strikeskin elements are strategically placed rubber fins that enhance grip on the ball, assisting with power and swerve during strikes.
How does the fold-over tongue improve performance?
The fold-over tongue creates a cleaner, larger surface area for striking the ball, potentially improving accuracy and power, and also helps secure the fit.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.
The HybridTouch upper will naturally mold to your foot over time. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly and consider wearing them for short periods initially. If still uncomfortable, consult the sizing guide for a potential size exchange.
Traction is poor on the pitch.
Verify that you are using the boots on the intended soft ground surface. Ensure the studs are securely tightened and appropriate for the current pitch conditions. Consider adjusting or replacing studs if they are worn.
Fold-over tongue does not stay in place.
Ensure the tongue is folded over correctly and the laces are threaded through any designated loops or channels on the tongue to secure it. Tighten laces evenly.
Mud is difficult to remove.
Allow mud to dry slightly before brushing off. For stubborn mud, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Stud Adjustment: Use the provided key to screw in or unscrew the studs as needed for the playing surface. Ensure studs are securely tightened before use.

Compatibility:

Not Recommended For: Firm ground, artificial grass (AG), or hard surfaces, as this can damage the outsole and studs and lead to poor performance.
Care:
Cleaning: After each use, remove excess mud with a soft brush. Clean the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Do not use harsh detergents.
