FAQs
What type of playing surface are these boots suitable for?
These boots are designed for Firm Ground (FG) surfaces, which typically means natural grass pitches that are not excessively wet or muddy.
What is the 'HybridTouch' upper made of?
The HybridTouch upper is a synthetic suede and foil combination material, engineered to provide lightweight comfort, support, and a natural feel for the ball.
Will the white lacquer on the soleplate wear off?
Yes, it is common for the lacquer finish on the soleplate to wear off during play. This is a cosmetic change and does not affect the performance or durability of the boots.
How should I clean my adidas Kids Predator Elite FG boots?
After each use, wipe down the boots with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid using direct heat or harsh cleaning agents, especially on the HybridTouch material.
What is the purpose of the 'Strikeskin' elements?
The Strikeskin rubber fins are integrated into the upper to provide enhanced grip on the ball, improving precision for passing and increasing swerve for shooting.
Are these boots made with recycled materials?
Yes, these boots are made in part with recycled materials, contributing to a more sustainable product.
Troubleshooting
Lacquer finish on soleplate is wearing off.
This is a normal cosmetic occurrence and will not affect the performance or functionality of the boots. Continue to use and care for them as usual.
Boots feel uncomfortable or too tight.
Ensure the boots are properly laced. If new, allow for a short break-in period. If discomfort persists, double-check the size against a foot measurement or try different socks. Ensure they are the correct size for the player.
Poor grip or slipping on the pitch.
Verify that you are playing on a firm ground surface, as these boots are specifically designed for FG. Clean the soleplate thoroughly to remove any accumulated mud or debris that might be hindering traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure laces are tied securely but not too tightly. A properly laced boot should feel snug and supportive without causing discomfort.
- Fit Check: Wear appropriate football socks. The boot should feel snug around the heel and midfoot, with a small amount of space (about a thumb's width) between the longest toe and the end of the boot. Walk around to ensure there are no pressure points.
Compatibility
These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches. This includes natural grass fields that are dry and well-maintained. Using them on artificial turf (AG) or very wet/soft ground (SG) can lead to premature wear or reduced performance and grip.
Care
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe off dirt and mud using a damp cloth. For the HybridTouch upper, avoid harsh chemicals. A soft brush can be used gently on the Strikeskin fins if needed.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, ideally with newspaper stuffed inside to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
- Lacquer Note: The lacquer finish on the bottom of the soleplate may wear off during play. This is a normal cosmetic change and will not affect the performance or durability of the product. Continue to care for the boots as usual.
