FAQs
Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?
These boots are specifically designed for firm natural grass. Using them on artificial grass may cause premature wear and does not provide optimal traction.
How should I clean my Predator boots?
Wipe with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution after play. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
What is the primary benefit of the STRIKEFRAME?
The STRIKEFRAME provides a stable, lightweight platform that improves energy return and balance.
Can I use these on wet, muddy pitches?
While the FG studs provide good grip, they are designed primarily for firm ground; soft, deep mud may require a specific soft-ground (SG) boot.
How do I store them between matches?
Keep them in a cool, dry area. Avoid leaving them in a wet sports bag, as moisture can cause odor and material breakdown.
Troubleshooting
Accumulated mud affecting traction
Use a specialized boot cleaning brush to clear the studs and frame after every match.
Loose fit or heel slippage
Adjust the lace tension and ensure you are using the correct sock thickness for a tighter lockdown.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure your laces are tightened securely to engage the mid-foot lockdown features. These boots are intended for use on firm natural grass pitches; using them on abrasive surfaces like dry artificial turf may result in premature stud wear. To care for your boots, remove mud after each use using a soft brush or cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the materials.
