FAQs
Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?
These boots are designed for Firm Ground (FG). While they may provide traction on other surfaces, they are optimized for natural, firm grass pitches.
How do I maintain the grip on the upper?
Keep the upper clean by wiping away dust and debris after each use with a damp cloth to ensure the rubber grip elements remain effective.
Do these run true to size?
The Predator Elite generally fits true to size, but since they have a performance-oriented, snug fit, some players prefer a half-size adjustment depending on their preference for tightness.
What is the purpose of the Powerspine?
The Powerspine minimizes foot deformation on impact with the ball, which effectively converts more of your kinetic energy into the strike itself.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity of the Strikeframe and the rubber grip elements. Always clean by hand.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of stiffness in the upper
The boots need a break-in period. Try wearing them for short periods during training sessions to help the material adapt.
Loss of traction on the pitch
Check the studs for trapped mud or debris and clean them thoroughly to restore the grip provided by the fang stud design.
Laces coming loose during play
Ensure you are using a double knot and verify that the laces are threaded through all eyelets properly for even tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, verify that the boot is suited for the intended pitch surface; these are designed specifically for Firm Ground (FG). Before your first match, it is recommended to wear the boots during light training sessions to allow the mesh upper and internal frame to mold to your foot shape.
Care Instructions:
- Remove excess mud after every use using a soft-bristled brush.
- Wipe down the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed.
- Air dry the boots naturally at room temperature; avoid direct heat sources like radiators, as this can degrade the materials.
- Ensure the laces are fully loosened before taking them off to prevent stretching the collar.
