FAQs

What type of playing surface are these boots suitable for?

These adidas Predator Elite SG boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches. This means natural grass fields that are wet, muddy, or have a significant amount of give.

Will the colored lacquer on the soleplate wear off?

Yes, it is normal for the lacquer finish on the bottom of the boot to wear off during play. This is a cosmetic change and does not affect the performance or durability of the product.

How do I clean my adidas Predator Elite SG boots?

After each use, remove excess mud and dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. For the HybridTouch upper, gently wipe with a damp cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources. Consider a suede brush for dried dirt on the suede sections.

What is HybridTouch material?

HybridTouch is adidas's next-generation synthetic material combining synthetic suede and a foil layer. It's engineered for lightweight comfort, support, and exceptional ball control.

What are the Strikeskin fins for?

The Strikeskin rubber fins are strategically placed on the upper to provide greater friction and purchase on the ball, enhancing shooting precision, swerve, and overall control during striking.

Are these boots true to size?

The boots feature a regular fit and lace closure, which generally means they are true to size. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. We recommend trying them on if possible.

Can I use these boots on artificial turf?

No, these boots are not recommended for artificial turf. The screw-in studs designed for soft ground can cause discomfort, reduce performance, and may damage the turf or the boots themselves on harder surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Poor traction on a soft ground pitch.

First, ensure all screw-in studs are securely tightened before play. If the ground is exceptionally muddy or waterlogged, even SG boots may struggle. Ensure the pitch is indeed suitable for soft ground boots.

Boots feel uncomfortable or are causing rubbing.

Ensure you have the correct size. New boots often require a 'break-in' period; wear them for shorter sessions initially. Try different football socks to find a comfortable combination. The PRIMEKNIT collar should feel snug but not restrictive.

The coloured lacquer finish on the bottom of the boot is wearing off.

This is a normal cosmetic occurrence and is expected with use. The manufacturer states that this will not affect the performance or durability of the product. No action is required.

Boots feel heavy or unstable on firmer surfaces.

These boots are exclusively designed for soft ground. Using them on firm ground, artificial grass, or other hard surfaces will lead to suboptimal performance, discomfort, and accelerated wear on both the boots and your body. Always use the appropriate boot type for the playing surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional ball control and touch due to HybridTouch upper and enhanced touch grooves.
  • Superior shooting precision and swerve with Strikeskin rubber fins.
  • Outstanding stability and traction specifically on soft ground surfaces.
  • Comfortable and supportive fit provided by the PRIMEKNIT collar.
  • Lightweight design aids in agility and speed.
  • Partially made with recycled materials.

Cons

  • Surface Specific: Optimized exclusively for soft ground, not suitable for firm ground or artificial turf.
  • Lacquer Finish Wear: The decorative lacquer on the soleplate may wear off during play (cosmetic only, does not affect performance).
  • Suede Material Care: The suede components of the HybridTouch upper may require specific care to maintain their condition.
  • Screw-in Stud Maintenance: Requires periodic checking and tightening of studs for optimal performance and safety.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Lacing: Ensure laces are tied securely but not overly tight, allowing the PRIMEKNIT collar to comfortably wrap your ankle. The regular fit accommodates a wide range of foot shapes.
  2. Stud Check: Before your first use and periodically thereafter, ensure all screw-in studs are securely tightened. This prevents loss of studs during play and maintains optimal traction.

Compatibility

These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches. This includes natural grass fields that are wet, muddy, or have a significant amount of give. Using them on firm ground (FG), artificial grass (AG), or indoor surfaces is not recommended, as it can lead to accelerated wear, discomfort, and poor performance.

Care

  • Cleaning: After each use, clean your boots immediately. Remove excess mud and dirt with a soft brush or cloth. For the HybridTouch upper, use a damp cloth to gently wipe clean. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Drying: Allow your boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight) as this can damage the materials and cause cracking or shrinkage. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  • Suede Care: As the HybridTouch upper contains synthetic suede, consider using a specialized suede brush to remove dried dirt gently. A suede protector spray can help repel water and stains.
  • Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prolong their lifespan.
  • Lacquer Finish: Be aware that the lacquer finish on the soleplate is designed to wear off during play. This is a cosmetic effect and will not impact the performance or durability of the boots. There is no special care required for this.
