FAQs

What is the main benefit of the fold-over tongue?

The fold-over tongue provides a cleaner, larger surface area for striking the ball, which can lead to improved accuracy and power.

Can I use these boots on natural grass?

These boots are specifically designed for artificial turf. Using them on natural grass may result in reduced performance and increased wear.

How do I clean my boots?

Wipe them with a damp cloth and a soft brush to remove dirt. Allow them to air dry naturally away from heat sources.

What does 'HybridTouch' mean for the upper material?

HybridTouch is a synthetic material designed to offer a soft feel, adaptive fit, and premium touch on the ball.

Are these boots suitable for wide feet?

The lace-up design allows for some adjustability, and the HybridTouch upper can adapt. However, players with very wide feet may find them snug and should consider trying them on if possible.

How should I care for the Astro Turf outsole?

Keep the outsole clean by removing debris after each use. This ensures the studs maintain their grip and stability on artificial surfaces.

What is the main difference from previous Predator models?

This model brings back the iconic fold-over tongue, blending a classic design element with modern materials and an updated Astro Turf outsole.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable

Loosen the laces and adjust the fit. Experiment with how the fold-over tongue is positioned – it can be secured over the laces or folded down.

Traction feels insufficient on turf

Ensure the Astro Turf outsole is clean and free of debris. Check for excessive wear on the studs. Regular cleaning is essential for optimal grip.

HybridTouch upper feels stiff

Wear the boots for short periods initially to allow the material to mold to your foot. Use them in light training sessions before a full match.

Damage to the fold-over tongue mechanism

Ensure the tongue is not forced or overstretched. If damaged, contact customer support for further assistance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Enhanced ball control due to the fold-over tongue design.
Secure and adaptive fit provided by the HybridTouch upper.
Optimized grip and stability on artificial turf surfaces.
Comfortable for extended wear during matches and training.
Combines classic Predator aesthetics with modern performance features.

Cons

The fold-over tongue may require personal adjustment for optimal comfort and strike.
Primarily designed for artificial turf; performance on natural grass may be limited.
Specific fit may not suit all foot shapes without proper lacing adjustment.
Lighter colors might show dirt more readily on turf.
May require a break-in period for the HybridTouch upper to fully adapt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These boots come ready to wear. Ensure they are laced to your preferred tightness using the lace-up system. The fold-over tongue can be secured in place with its fastening mechanism or worn folded down depending on player preference.

Compatibility: Designed specifically for artificial turf (ASTRO TURF / AG) surfaces. They are not recommended for use on firm ground (FG), soft ground (SG), or indoor (IN) courts.

Care:

Cleaning: After use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, to maintain their shape and prevent material degradation.
