FAQs
What does 'MG' in the boot name stand for?
'MG' stands for Multi-Ground, meaning these boots are specifically designed for optimal performance on both Artificial Grass (AG) and Turf surfaces.
How do the Strikeskin elements improve my game?
The Strikeskin rubber fins are strategically placed on the upper to enhance grip on the ball, allowing for greater precision when striking and adding more swerve to your shots.
What is the benefit of the foldover tongue?
The foldover tongue provides a cleaner striking surface by covering the laces, contributing to a more integrated and secure fit around your foot for enhanced comfort and ball control.
Is the HybridTouch upper comfortable for long periods of play?
Yes, the HybridTouch material is engineered for lightweight comfort and support, designed to allow you to play your natural game without discomfort.
Can I use these boots on natural grass pitches?
While technically possible, these boots are optimized for artificial grass and turf. Using them regularly on natural firm ground (FG) or soft ground (SG) might not provide optimal grip and could lead to premature wear or even damage.
How should I clean and maintain my Predator Pro boots?
After each use, clean off mud and dirt with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat. Regular cleaning helps maintain their performance and longevity.
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
The fit of football boots can vary. While the HybridTouch upper offers some adaptability, if you have wider feet, it's always recommended to try them on to ensure a comfortable fit. Info needed: Specific details on width sizing.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. New boots often require a 'break-in' period; wear them for short, light training sessions to allow the material to mold to your foot. Adjust lacing for a custom fit.
Laces come undone frequently
Ensure you are using a double knot. The foldover tongue helps keep laces secure, but an effective knot is still crucial.
Lack of grip on the pitch
Verify that you are playing on an appropriate surface (artificial grass or turf) for the MG soleplate. Clean the studs thoroughly after each use to prevent mud buildup that can reduce traction.
Reduced responsiveness or ball feel
Ensure the boots are clean, especially the Strikeskin elements and touch grooves. Mud or debris can interfere with the designed grip and control features.
Foot slipping inside the boot
Ensure laces are tightened securely across the foot and the foldover tongue is properly positioned. Consider wearing appropriate football socks designed to prevent slippage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Loosen the laces completely.
- Foot Insertion: Slide your foot into the boot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated at the back.
- Tighten Laces: Starting from the bottom, gradually tighten the laces to achieve a snug, secure fit across your foot, but avoid overtightening.
- Foldover Tongue: Ensure the foldover tongue is positioned correctly over the laces for an integrated feel and secure fit. The strap helps keep it in place.
- Break-In: Wear the boots for a few short sessions before a full match to allow them to mold to your feet and reduce discomfort.
Compatibility
These boots feature a Multi-Ground (MG) soleplate, making them ideal for:
- Artificial Grass (AG) pitches
- Turf surfaces
They are specifically designed to provide superior traction and pressure distribution on these surfaces. They are not recommended for natural firm ground (FG) or soft ground (SG) pitches, as this could compromise performance and potentially damage the boots or increase injury risk.
Care
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe off any mud or dirt with a damp cloth. For tougher grime, use a soft brush and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures. Using a boot bag can protect them during transport.
- Inspection: Regularly check laces, studs, and seams for wear and tear. Replace laces if frayed and ensure studs are clean for optimal performance.
