FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for grass fields?
These trainers are primarily designed for turf. While they may provide some grip on firm ground, they are optimized for the specific surface of turf pitches.
How do I determine if 8.5 UK is the right size?
You should have a small amount of space (about a thumb's width) in the toe box to allow for natural foot swelling during exercise.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the leather material. Always hand clean with a soft cloth.
Does the colour fade over time?
As with any athletic footwear, some colour fading is expected with heavy use and sun exposure, but proper cleaning helps maintain the finish.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Predator line generally offers a standard athletic fit. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find the leather stretches slightly over time to accommodate.
Troubleshooting
Outer material showing signs of stiffening
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner suitable for athletic footwear to restore suppleness.
Loss of traction on turf
Check the outsole for caked mud or lodged debris and clean thoroughly with a stiff-bristle brush.
Excessive moisture inside the shoe
Remove the insole if possible and use moisture-absorbing silica packets or newspaper to draw out dampness overnight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, confirm your size corresponds to the UK 8.5 standard. Since these are made from leather, avoid prolonged exposure to direct heat or heavy moisture, which can degrade the material. After every use, wipe away dirt and grass clippings using a soft cloth and mild soap. If the trainers become soaked, stuff them with newspaper and allow them to air dry slowly at room temperature rather than placing them near radiators. Ensure the outsole is clear of debris before each match to maintain optimal traction.
