adidas Predator Elite Firm Ground Football Boots - Blue/Yellow - UK 6

These are Firm Ground (FG) boots, optimized for use on natural grass pitches that are dry or only slightly damp.

Wipe them with a damp cloth and brush off any excess dirt. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

PowerSpine Technology is integrated into the midfoot to provide enhanced stability and support for more powerful shots.

The Primknit collar is designed to offer a snug, sock-like fit. While generally accommodating, if you have very wide ankles, it might feel snug. Adjusting the lacing can help customize the fit.

It is not recommended to use Firm Ground boots on artificial turf, as the stud pattern is designed for natural grass and may not provide optimal traction or could lead to premature wear.

The NanoStrike+ upper combines breathable mesh with rubber grip elements, enhancing precision, ball control, and touch for passing, shooting, and dribbling.

Ensure laces are adjusted correctly. Consider wearing the boots for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet. Thinner socks may also help if the fit is snug.

Verify you are using the boots on the intended surface (firm ground). Ensure the studs are clean and free from debris. If playing on a softer surface, consider alternative boot types.

This is normal for new performance boots. Consistent wear during training and matches will help the materials soften and conform to your foot shape.
