FAQs
Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?
No, the ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate is specifically designed for firm ground (FG) natural grass pitches. Using them on artificial surfaces is not recommended.
How do I clean the HybridTouch upper?
Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals and ensure the boots are dried naturally away from heat.
What does 'laceless' mean for the fit?
The laceless design provides a clean, streamlined fit that maximizes surface area for ball contact. The adidas Primeknit collar and internal structure ensure a secure lockdown without traditional laces.
Will the lacquer on the bottom wear off?
Yes, the lacquer finish on the bottom of the boot may wear off during play. This is a normal cosmetic effect and does not impact the performance of the product.
Who are these boots endorsed by?
The Predator range, including these boots, is endorsed by professional players such as Jude Bellingham, Alessia Russo, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Gabriel Jesus, and Katie Zelem.
Are these boots made from recycled materials?
Yes, these boots are made in part with recycled materials, contributing to adidas's sustainability efforts.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
The HybridTouch upper is designed to mold to your foot over time. Try wearing them for short periods initially and ensure you have the correct size. If discomfort persists, consult the retailer for exchange options.
Traction feels inconsistent on the pitch
Ensure the boots are being used on their intended firm ground surface. Clean any mud or debris from the soleplate and studs, as this can impede traction.
Strikeskin fins appear to be wearing
The Strikeskin elements are designed for durability, but some wear is normal with regular use. This wear is unlikely to significantly impact their function for ball grip.
Lacquer on the soleplate is peeling
This is a cosmetic issue and is expected with normal play on firm ground. The peeling lacquer does not affect the performance or structural integrity of the soleplate or the boot's traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots are designed for immediate play. Ensure they fit snugly and comfortably without any pressure points. The laceless design means there are no laces to tie, providing a consistent fit from the moment you put them on.
Compatibility: The ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate is specifically designed for firm ground (FG) natural grass pitches. Use on artificial grass or very wet/muddy pitches is not recommended as it may affect performance and durability.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the boots in water.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, away from direct sunlight.
