FAQs

What does FG stand for on these football boots?

FG stands for Firm Ground. These boots are designed for optimal performance and traction on natural grass pitches that are dry and firm.

Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?

No, the adidas Predator Absolute FG boots are not recommended for artificial grass (AG) surfaces. The stud configuration is designed for natural grass, and using them on artificial turf can lead to reduced performance, accelerated wear, and potential injury.

How do I clean my Predator Absolute FG boots?

After playing, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.

What is the main material of these boots?

The main material for the upper of these boots is leather, providing durability and a comfortable, adaptive fit.

How long does it take to break in leather football boots?

The break-in period can vary, but typically it takes a few training sessions or short matches. Wearing them indoors for brief periods can help speed up the process.

Can I use these boots in wet conditions?

While leather offers some water resistance, these boots are primarily designed for firm, dry ground. Excessive use in wet conditions is not recommended as it can affect performance and potentially damage the materials over time.

What is the release date of this specific model?

This specific model (SKU: HP9137) was released on 12/11/2022.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight

Leather boots often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods indoors to gradually mold them to your foot shape. If still uncomfortable, consider if this is the correct size for your foot.

Poor traction on the pitch

Ensure the boots are appropriate for the pitch surface (Firm Ground). Check that the studs are clean and free from debris. If the pitch is wet or soft, these boots may not provide adequate grip.

Leather shows signs of cracking

This can occur if the boots are exposed to excessive heat during drying or if not properly conditioned. Ensure they are always air-dried at room temperature and consider using a leather conditioner occasionally.

Studs feel uncomfortable on the sole of the foot

Ensure you are using the boots on the intended firm ground surface. The stud pressure can be felt more acutely on harder surfaces or if the boots are not yet fully broken in. If discomfort persists, it may indicate an improper fit or unsuitable playing surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These football boots are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. It is recommended to try them on indoors before first use on the pitch.

Compatibility: The 'FG' designation stands for Firm Ground. These boots are specifically designed and recommended for use on natural grass pitches that are dry and firm. They are not suitable for artificial grass, hard ground, or muddy/soft ground conditions, as this can lead to reduced performance, increased risk of injury, or damage to the studs.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After use, remove excess dirt and mud with a soft brush or a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the boots.
  2. Drying: Allow the 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 leather and adhesives.
  3. Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a breathable boot bag, away from extreme temperatures.
