FAQs
Can I use these boots on artificial grass?
These are specifically designed as Firm Ground (FG) boots; using them on artificial grass may cause excessive wear and is not recommended.
How should I clean my Predator Elite boots?
Use a damp cloth to wipe off mud and dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or washing machines.
What is the benefit of the foldover tongue?
It creates a smooth, clean surface over the laces, which helps in making more accurate and powerful ball strikes.
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
The Predator Elite features a regular fit; the Primeknit collar and HybridTouch upper provide some adaptability, but individual fit may vary.
Why is the lacquer on the soleplate coming off?
The lacquer is a cosmetic finish. Abrasion from the pitch surface during normal play will naturally remove this layer over time.
Do these boots come in different sizes?
Yes, these are available in a variety of adult UK sizes. Please refer to the specific listing for availability.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff during the first wear
Synthetic suede requires a short break-in period; wear the boots for short training sessions before using them in full matches to allow the material to soften.
Lacquer finish on the soleplate is peeling or fading
This is a normal cosmetic occurrence caused by ground contact and friction; it does not affect the performance or durability of the boot's traction.
Tongue feels loose or shifts during play
Ensure the foldover tongue strap is properly secured and adjusted to your foot's shape before lacing the boots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These boots are designed specifically for use on firm ground (FG) natural grass pitches. Avoid using these on artificial surfaces that may exceed the traction capabilities of the studs to prevent premature wear. To ensure longevity, wipe the boots down with a soft, damp cloth after every session to remove mud and turf debris. Allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can damage the synthetic suede components. Check that the foldover tongue strap is securely fastened before play to maintain the intended fit and strike zone integrity.
