FAQs

What makes the HybridTouch upper special?

The HybridTouch upper combines a synthetic suede feel with a foil layer. This blend is engineered by adidas for lightweight comfort, excellent ball feel, and reliable support during play.

Will the floral design wear off?

The embroidered floral design on the tongue and other accents are durable. However, the lacquer finish on the soleplate is expected to wear off with use, which is normal and does not affect performance.

Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?

No, these are Firm Ground (FG) boots. They are designed for natural grass pitches. Using them on artificial grass may cause discomfort, reduce performance, and potentially damage the studs.

How do I clean the suede material on the boots?

Use a soft brush to remove dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the manufacturer's instructions. Avoid washing machines or soaking the boots.

What is the benefit of the Strikeskin rubber fins?

The Strikeskin rubber fins are strategically placed on the upper to provide increased grip on the ball. This enhances precision and allows for greater swerve when passing or shooting.

Who is 'The Football Gal' and why is she featured?

The Football Gal is a London-based designer who applies embroidery art to football shirts. This limited edition Predator collaboration features her artistic style, seen in the floral details, inspired by her work.

What does 'FG' stand for in the product name?

FG stands for Firm Ground. This indicates that the boot is designed for use on natural grass pitches that are relatively hard and dry.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight

Try wearing them with medium-thick football socks for initial wear to help stretch the HybridTouch upper slightly. Ensure they are correctly laced without over-tightening.

Traction feels insufficient on wet grass

These boots are designed for firm ground. Traction may be reduced on wet or soft surfaces. Consider alternative boots with SG studs for such conditions.

Suede material looks dirty or scuffed

Use a specialized suede brush to gently clean the affected areas. For stubborn marks, consider a suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.

Tongue feels awkward or shifts during play

Ensure the foldover tongue is properly positioned and secured with the strap. Experiment with lacing techniques to find a fit that keeps the tongue in place.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional ball control and precision due to Strikeskin fins and touch grooves.
  • Comfortable and supportive fit with the HybridTouch upper and Primeknit collar.
  • Unique, artistic design that stands out.
  • Stable and agile performance on firm ground pitches with the ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate.
  • Lightweight construction for enhanced speed and natural movement.

Cons

  • The lacquer finish on the soleplate may wear off during play, though it does not affect performance.
  • Limited edition design may have a higher price point or be harder to find.
  • Foldover tongue design might not suit all player preferences.
  • Firm ground soleplate is not suitable for artificial or soft ground surfaces.
  • Suede material requires specific care to maintain appearance and performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the boots are the correct size for a snug, comfortable fit.
  2. Lace up using the regular lace closure for a secure feel.
  3. The foldover tongue can be secured with its strap for a streamlined look.

Compatibility:

  • Designed specifically for Firm Ground (FG) pitches.
  • Not recommended for use on artificial grass (AG) or soft ground (SG) surfaces as the stud configuration is optimized for natural, firmer turf.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After play, remove excess dirt with a soft brush. Clean the upper with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents. The suede material may require specific suede cleaners.
  • Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or use a hairdryer, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, away from direct sunlight.
  • Soleplate Lacquer: Be aware that the lacquer finish on the soleplate is cosmetic and may wear off during play. This wear does not impact the boot's performance or structural integrity.
