FAQs
What type of playing surface are these boots suitable for?
These adidas Predator Elite Tongue FG boots are designed specifically for Firm Ground (FG) surfaces, which typically means natural grass pitches that are dry and firm.
Are these boots for adults or kids?
These boots are designed for kids/juniors.
What is Strikeskin technology?
Strikeskin refers to the strategically placed rubber fins on the HybridTouch upper. These elements provide enhanced grip on the ball, allowing for greater precision, control, and swerve when striking or passing.
Is it normal for the soleplate's color to wear off?
Yes, the lacquer finish on the bottom of the boot is designed to wear off during play. This is a cosmetic change and does not affect the product's performance or durability.
How should I clean my adidas Predator boots?
After use, remove loose dirt by tapping the boots. Use a damp cloth or soft brush to wipe down the upper and soleplate. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat.
Do these boots use recycled materials?
Yes, these boots are made in part with recycled materials, contributing to more sustainable production.
What is the benefit of the fold-over tongue?
The fold-over tongue provides a cleaner striking surface, a more integrated and secure fit, and contributes to the classic Predator aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
The lacquer finish on the bottom of my boots is wearing off.
This is completely normal. The lacquer finish is designed to wear off during play and does not affect the performance or integrity of the boot. Continue using your boots as intended.
My boots feel uncomfortable or too tight.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate football socks. The boots may require a short break-in period to mold to your foot. Also, check that the laces are not overtightened, and adjust the fold-over tongue for optimal comfort.
I'm experiencing poor grip on the pitch.
Confirm that you are playing on a firm ground surface, as these boots are specifically designed for that. Check the soleplate for excessive mud buildup and clean it thoroughly. Also, inspect the studs for any signs of wear or damage that might affect traction.
The fold-over tongue doesn't stay in place.
Ensure the strap on the tongue is properly secured. Lacing techniques can also help; try lacing over the tongue to help hold it down. A snug overall fit of the boot will also contribute to keeping the tongue in position.

Care
- Cleaning After Use: After each use, remove loose dirt and mud by gently tapping the boots together. Use a soft brush or damp cloth to wipe down the upper and soleplate.
