FAQs

What does 'FG' stand for in FG football boots?

FG stands for Firm Ground. These boots are designed for use on natural grass pitches that are not excessively wet or muddy.

How do I clean my adidas Predator EQT Elite Tongue boots?

Wipe them clean with a damp cloth and a soft brush. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat. Do not machine wash.

Will the lacquer on the sole 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 boot's performance.

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.

What is the benefit of the floating tongue?

The floating tongue design allows for easier step-in access and provides adjustability for a personalized and secure fit.

Can I use these boots on artificial grass?

No, these are firm ground boots and are not recommended for artificial grass. Using them on artificial surfaces can damage the stud configuration and compromise performance.

What makes the Nanostrike+ upper special?

The Nanostrike+ upper combines lightweight mesh with integrated rubber grip elements for optimal striking precision and ball control in both dry and wet conditions.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Loosen the laces and readjust the floating tongue for a better fit. Wear the boots for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet.

Traction feels insufficient on the pitch.

Ensure you are playing on a suitable firm ground surface. Clean any debris from the studs to maintain optimal grip.

Laces are difficult to adjust or keep tied.

Ensure laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets. Consider double-knotting the laces for extra security.

Lacquer on the soleplate is peeling.

This is normal wear and tear for this model and does not affect the performance or grip of the boot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Loosen the laces and utilize the floating tongue for easy insertion of the foot.
  2. Adjust the laces to achieve a secure and comfortable fit, ensuring the Primeknit collar provides a snug feel.
  3. Ensure the boots are properly tied before stepping onto the pitch.

Compatibility:

  • These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) football pitches (natural grass).
  • They are not recommended for use on artificial grass, hard ground, or indoor surfaces as this may damage the stud configuration and affect performance.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After each use, remove excess mud and dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  • Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, to maintain their shape and condition.
  • Lacquer Wear: Be aware that the lacquer finish on the soleplate may naturally wear off during play. This is a cosmetic effect and does not compromise the boot's performance or durability.
