FAQs
Are these boots suitable for natural grass?
These are specifically designed for Artificial Grass (AG) and perform best on those surfaces due to the stud configuration.
Do I need to break these in?
Yes, we recommend wearing them for 2-3 training sessions to allow the materials to mold comfortably to your foot shape.
How does the laceless design stay secure?
The boot uses internal engineering and high-quality materials to provide a secure lockdown without the need for traditional laces.
Can I wash these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and structural integrity of the rubber grip elements and soleplate.
What is the benefit of the Powerspine?
The Powerspine minimizes foot deformation during ball contact, ensuring that more energy is transferred into the ball rather than being lost to the movement of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels loose inside the boot
Consider using performance grip socks to increase friction between your foot and the boot lining.
Difficulty getting the boot on
The laceless entry can be tight; use a shoehorn or ensure you are fully pulling the integrated collar loops to expand the material.
Rubber grip elements collecting debris
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently clean the Nanostrike+ elements after play.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your boots maintain their performance:
- Sizing: Ensure you have found your exact size match in the Predator series, as the laceless design lacks adjustment strings.
- Break-in: Wear the boots for shorter training sessions before match day to allow the upper material to adapt to your foot.
- Care: After use on artificial grass, remove excess rubber infill from the studs to maintain traction.
- Cleaning: Wipe the upper with a damp cloth after every match. Do not machine wash, as this may damage the rubber grip elements.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the materials from hardening or deforming.
