Troubleshooting

Lacquer finish on soleplate is wearing off.

This is a normal occurrence and an expected part of the boot's design. The lacquer finish on the soleplate is cosmetic and will wear off during play, but it will not impact the performance or durability of the product. No action is required.

Poor grip or slipping on the pitch.

Ensure you are playing on a soft ground surface, as these boots are specifically designed for such conditions. Check if the studs are clean and free of mud or debris, which can hinder traction. If the issue persists, inspect the studs for any damage or excessive wear.

Boots feel uncomfortable or too tight/loose.

Adjust the lace closure system to find the optimal fit. Experiment with different lacing techniques. Ensure you are wearing appropriate football socks. If discomfort continues, double-check your size against the adidas size guide.

Ball control or swerve feels inconsistent.

Ensure your boots are clean, especially the Strikeskin rubber fins on the forefoot, as dirt or mud can reduce grip on the ball. Practice your technique to maximize the benefits of the boot's design.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional Ball Control: Strikeskin fins provide superior grip for precise passes and powerful shots.
  • Lightweight Agility: The lightest Predator design promotes quick movements and reduced fatigue.
  • Comfortable Fit: HybridTouch 2.0 upper and Primeknit collar ensure a snug, supportive, and cushioned feel.
  • Reliable Traction: ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate delivers multidirectional grip and stability on soft ground.
  • Sustainable Construction: Made in part with recycled materials.

Cons

  • Cosmetic Wear: The lacquer finish on the soleplate is designed to wear off during play, though it doesn't affect performance.
  • Surface Specificity: Optimized exclusively for soft ground, limiting versatility on other pitch types.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Lacing: Simply lace up the boots using the secure lace closure system. Ensure the laces are tied firmly but comfortably to prevent slippage and provide optimal support for your foot.
  2. Initial Wear: Wear the boots for a short period before a full match or intense training session to allow them to adapt to your foot shape.

Compatibility

  • Playing Surface: These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches. This includes natural grass fields that are wet, muddy, or otherwise soft, where longer, often removable studs are required for optimal grip.
  • Avoid Other Surfaces: Do not use these boots on firm ground (FG), artificial grass (AG), or indoor surfaces, as this can damage the studs, compromise your grip, and void warranty.

Care

  1. Clean After Use: After each use, remove any excess mud or debris from the boots, especially from the soleplate and studs, using a soft brush or a damp cloth.
  2. Wipe the Upper: Wipe the upper with a damp cloth to clean off dirt. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  3. Air Dry: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can cause materials to crack or shrink.
  4. Maintain Shape: Stuffing the boots with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their original shape while drying.
  5. Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place, away from extreme temperatures.
  6. Lacquer Note: Remember that the lacquer finish on the bottom of the boot is designed to wear off during play and this will not affect the product's performance.
