FAQs
What type of playing surface are these boots suitable for?
These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches, which are natural grass surfaces that are typically dry and firm.
How do I clean my adidas Kids Predator Elite Tongue FG boots?
After use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash.
What is the 'HybridTouch' upper material?
HybridTouch is adidas's next-generation synthetic material, combining suede and foil. It's engineered for lightweight comfort, support, and a natural feel for the ball.
Will the lacquer wearing off affect the boot's performance?
No, the wearing off of the lacquer finish on the soleplate is a cosmetic issue and will not affect the performance, durability, or integrity of the boots.
Are these boots made with recycled materials?
Yes, these boots are made in part with recycled materials, reflecting adidas's commitment to sustainability.
How do the Strikeskin rubber fins improve play?
The Strikeskin rubber fins are strategically placed on the upper to provide additional grip and friction on the ball. This allows for greater precision, enhanced swerve, and more powerful shots.
Can these boots be used on artificial grass?
While some players may use FG boots on artificial grass, it is not recommended for optimal performance or durability. These boots are primarily designed for natural firm ground pitches. Using them on AG may cause premature wear to the studs and soleplate.
Troubleshooting
The lacquer finish on the soleplate is wearing off.
This is a normal cosmetic occurrence and does not affect the performance, durability, or functionality of the boots. Continue using them as intended.
My child's foot feels uncomfortable or loose inside the boot.
Ensure the laces are tied securely and evenly from bottom to top. Experiment with different lacing techniques. If the boot is new, a short break-in period may be needed. If discomfort persists, verify the sizing is correct.
Poor grip or slipping on the pitch.
These boots are designed for firm ground. Ensure you are playing on an appropriate surface. Check the soleplate for any accumulated mud or debris that might be blocking the studs. Clean the studs thoroughly if necessary.
The foldover tongue does not stay in place.
Ensure the strap on the foldover tongue is securely fastened. Make sure the laces are tied over the tongue to help hold it down. If the strap feels loose, adjust its position or tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Lacing: Ensure the laces are tightened evenly from the toe to the ankle for a secure and comfortable fit. The lace closure allows for personalized lockdown.
- Tongue Adjustment: Position the foldover tongue comfortably over the laces. The strap helps secure it in place during play.
- Break-In Period: Like most new football boots, these may require a short break-in period to fully mold to the player's foot. Wear them during light training sessions before competitive matches.
Compatibility:
- These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) surfaces. This means they are best suited for use on natural grass pitches that are firm and relatively dry. Using them on artificial turf (AG), soft ground (SG), or indoor courts is not recommended as it can damage the boots or reduce performance.
- Age Group: Designed for kids, ensuring an appropriate fit and features for younger players.
Care:
- Cleaning After Use: After each use, remove loose dirt and mud by gently tapping the boots together. Use a soft brush or damp cloth to wipe down the upper and soleplate.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place. Using boot trees or stuffing them with newspaper can help maintain their shape.
- Lacquer Finish: Please note that the decorative lacquer finish on the bottom of the soleplate may wear off during play. This is a normal occurrence and will not affect the performance or durability of the product.
