FAQs
What kind of playing surface are these boots suitable for?
These adidas Predator Elite FG boots are designed specifically for optimal performance on firm, natural grass pitches (FG).
Are these boots suitable for artificial turf?
No, these boots are not recommended for artificial turf. The FG soleplate can wear down quickly and may not provide adequate grip or stability on artificial surfaces. Always use boots designed for AG (Artificial Ground) for turf pitches.
How do I clean my adidas Predator Elite FG boots?
Clean off mud with a soft brush or damp cloth after each use. For deeper cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Do not machine wash or soak. Air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What is the 'HybridTouch' upper made of?
The HybridTouch upper is a synthetic material designed to provide lightweight comfort, support, and a natural feel for the ball, mimicking the touch of traditional leather while offering modern performance benefits.
Do these boots run true to size for juniors?
Generally, adidas boots run true to size. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. It's recommended to consult the adidas size chart and consider trying them on if possible. The size '10 UK' refers to a junior (children's) UK shoe size.
Are these boots waterproof?
While the synthetic HybridTouch upper offers good resistance to moisture, the boots are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions can lead to water absorption. Proper drying after use is essential.
What are the benefits of the Primeknit collar?
The Primeknit collar provides an adaptive, sock-like fit around the ankle, enhancing comfort and creating a seamless connection between the foot and the boot. It also aids in easy entry and a secure, supportive feel.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable during initial wear.
Ensure the laces are not overtightened. The Primeknit collar and HybridTouch upper require a short break-in period. Wear them for a few lighter sessions to allow them to mold to your foot shape. If discomfort persists, consider checking your size.
Loss of grip or slipping on the pitch.
Verify that you are playing on a firm natural grass surface, as the FG soleplate is optimized for this. Inspect the studs for excessive wear or damage. Ensure the soleplate is clean and free from mud or debris that could reduce traction.
Ball control or swerve doesn't feel enhanced.
Ensure the boots are clean, especially the Strikeskin fins and touch grooves, as dirt can reduce their effectiveness. Practice different ball striking techniques to fully leverage the features designed for precision and swerve. Focus on clean contact with the ball.
Ankle or heel slippage during play.
Retighten your laces, paying attention to securing the midfoot and ankle areas. Ensure your socks are not too thin or slippery. The ergonomic external heel counter is designed for lockdown, so a proper lacing technique is key.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Lacing: Loosen the laces completely before putting on the boots. Gently slide your foot in, allowing the Primeknit collar to adapt to your ankle.
Fit: Ensure your heel is snugly against the back of the boot. Begin tightening the laces from the bottom upwards, ensuring an even, secure fit without overtightening. Double-knot for security during play.
Break-in: While the HybridTouch upper is designed for comfort, it's recommended to wear the boots for a few short sessions (e.g., training, light kickabouts) before a full match to allow them to fully conform to your foot shape.
Compatibility:
These boots are specifically designed with an FG (Firm Ground) soleplate. They are optimized for use on natural grass pitches that are dry and firm. Using them on artificial turf (AG), soft ground (SG), or indoor (IC) surfaces can damage the soleplate, compromise performance, and potentially void any warranty.
Care:
Cleaning after use: After each session, remove excess mud and dirt using a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing that could damage the upper.
Washing: For deeper cleaning, wipe the entire boot with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Do not machine wash or submerge the boots in water.
Drying: Stuff the boots with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or sunlight), which can cause materials to crack or stiffen.
Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place. Using a boot bag can help protect them from scuffs and dust.
Stud Inspection: Regularly check the studs for wear or damage, especially if playing on particularly abrasive firm ground.
