Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Predator Elite FG boots feature a regular fit with a lace closure and a floating tongue for easy step-in. Ensure laces are securely fastened and the tongue is positioned comfortably for a personalized fit. The Primeknit collar offers an adaptive fit around the ankle.
Compatibility: These boots are specifically designed for firm ground (FG) surfaces, typically natural grass pitches that are dry and not excessively muddy. They are not recommended for artificial grass or very wet, soft ground conditions as the stud pattern may not provide optimal traction and could increase the risk of injury.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Stuff boots with newspaper to absorb moisture and help them retain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place. Using a shoe bag can protect them from dust and damage.
- Soleplate Lacquer: Be aware that the lacquer finish on the soleplate is aesthetic and may wear off during play. This wear does not affect the performance or structural integrity of the boot.
