FAQs

What type of pitch is this boot best suited for?

These boots are designed for firm ground (FG) natural grass pitches. They offer optimal traction and performance on dry, well-maintained surfaces.

How do I clean the snakeskin-print leather?

Gently wipe the surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or soaking the material. Allow to air dry naturally.

Is the fold-over tongue a standard feature?

Yes, the fold-over tongue is a distinctive design element of the adidas x Wales Bonner collaboration, contributing to a heritage aesthetic and a clean striking surface.

Can I use these boots on artificial grass?

It is not recommended. The firm ground stud configuration is optimized for natural grass and may perform poorly or cause discomfort/damage on artificial surfaces.

What does 'FT' stand for in FT FG?

FT typically refers to 'Fold-Over Tongue', a specific design feature of this boot model.

What materials are the boots made of?

The upper is primarily made of snakeskin-print leather and synthetic materials. The sole is made of synthetic rubber.

How does the collaboration with Wales Bonner influence the design?

Wales Bonner brings a unique blend of heritage aesthetics and contemporary fashion to the adidas Predator Elite, evident in the distinctive snakeskin print, color palette, and the heritage-inspired lace cover.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable

Loosen the laces and re-adjust them, ensuring the fold-over tongue sits flat. Wear with appropriate football socks. Break-in period may be required for optimal comfort.

Traction feels insufficient on the pitch

Ensure you are playing on a suitable firm ground surface. Check that the studs are clean and free from mud or debris.

Leather upper appears creased or scuffed

Minor creasing is normal with leather. For scuffs, use a leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear to help maintain the material's appearance and suppleness. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.

Lace cover straps feel loose

Ensure the straps are fastened correctly over the lace cover. If they continually loosen, check for any wear on the fastening mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These boots are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly by adjusting the laces, and tuck them under the fold-over tongue, securing with the co-branded straps for a streamlined profile.

Compatibility: Primarily designed for firm ground (FG) natural grass pitches. Use on artificial grass or wet, muddy surfaces is not recommended as it may lead to reduced performance and potential damage to the soleplate.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush. Wipe the leather upper with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the boots.
  2. Drying: Air dry the boots naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can degrade the leather.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, to protect the materials and maintain their shape.
