FAQs
Are these boots suitable for all types of pitches?
These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches, which are typically natural grass surfaces that are dry and well-maintained. They are not recommended for artificial grass or very wet, muddy conditions.
How do I clean the intricate floral details?
Gently wipe the boots with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or soaking the boots, especially the embroidered areas, to maintain the design's integrity.
What does 'TFG' stand for in the product name?
TFG refers to the collaboration with 'The Football Gal', highlighting the artist's contribution to the design.
Will the lacquer on the sole wear off?
Yes, the lacquer finish on the soleplate is decorative and is expected to wear off during play. This is a normal cosmetic change and does not affect the performance of the boots.
What is the HybridTouch upper made of?
The HybridTouch upper is constructed from a lightweight synthetic suede and foil material, designed to provide a natural feel on the ball.
Are these boots suitable for professional players?
Yes, the Predator range is endorsed by professional players, and these boots are designed with performance-enhancing features suitable for competitive play.
What is the fit like?
The boots are designed for a regular fit with a lace closure and feature an adidas Primeknit collar for a snug, adaptive feel. The tongue is also slightly larger for a more integrated fit.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight
Wear the boots with appropriate football socks for an initial period to allow them to mold to your feet. If still too tight, consider if a different size might be more suitable.
Traction feels insufficient on pitch
Ensure the boots are being used on firm ground (FG) pitches. Clean the studs of any mud or debris that may be obstructing their grip.
Floral pattern appears to be fading
This is a characteristic of the limited-edition design and the materials used. Follow the care instructions to preserve the aesthetic as much as possible. Avoid excessive rubbing or harsh cleaning agents.
Lacquer on soleplate is peeling
This is a normal occurrence during play and does not impact the boot's performance, grip, or durability. Continue using the boots as intended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These football boots are designed for immediate use upon purchase. They feature a standard lace closure for a customized fit.

Compatibility with artificial grass or very wet, muddy pitches is not recommended, as it may affect performance and durability.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After use, remove excess mud with a soft brush. Wipe the boots clean with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the boots in water, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Air dry the boots naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, to protect them from dust and damage.
- Lacquer Finish: Be aware that the lacquer finish on the bottom of the soleplate is cosmetic and may wear off during play. This is normal and does not affect the boot's performance or integrity.
