FAQs

What does 'FG' stand for on these boots?

FG stands for Firm Ground. These boots are designed for use on natural grass pitches that are typically dry.

How does the floating tongue feature work?

The floating tongue is designed to stay in place, making it easier to slip the boot on and offering more adjustability for a secure fit around the midfoot.

Can I use these boots on artificial grass pitches?

These are firm ground boots and are not recommended for artificial grass. Using them on artificial surfaces can lead to premature wear and potentially impact performance and comfort.

What is the benefit of Powerspine technology?

Powerspine technology provides enhanced midfoot stability, which helps players generate more power and accuracy when shooting.

How should I clean my Predator EQT Elite Tongue FG boots?

After use, wipe off dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemical cleaners.

Will the wear on the soleplate's lacquer finish affect the boot's performance?

No, the wear on the lacquer finish is a cosmetic effect and will not impact the functional performance or grip of the boot.

Are these boots suitable for wide feet?

The boots feature a regular fit with an adaptable Primeknit collar and adjustable lacing. While they aim for a secure fit, individuals with very wide feet may find them snug. Trying them on is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly, not overtightened. Allow for a break-in period as the materials adapt to your foot shape. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if a different lacing technique might help.

Traction feels inconsistent on the pitch

Verify that the boots are being used on the intended firm ground (FG) surface. Ensure the studs are clean and free from debris. If the pitch is unusually wet or muddy, the FG studs may not provide optimal grip.

Rubber grip elements on the upper seem to be wearing

This is normal during play as the Nanostrike+ upper is designed to interact with the ball. Regular cleaning will help maintain their effectiveness. Significant damage may indicate excessive wear or misuse on inappropriate surfaces.

Lacquer finish on the soleplate is peeling

This is expected cosmetic wear and does not affect the performance of the boots. Continue to clean the soleplate after use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced striking precision due to rubber grip elements on the upper.
  • Improved traction and rotational agility on firm ground.
  • Comfortable and adaptable fit with Primeknit collar and floating tongue.
  • Increased shot power and stability from Powerspine technology.
  • Distinctive heritage design appealing to fans of classic sportswear.

Cons

  • Lacquer finish on the soleplate may wear off during play.
  • Designed specifically for firm ground, limiting use on other surfaces.
  • May require a break-in period for optimal comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the boots are the correct size and fit comfortably. The floating tongue allows for easy step-in, and the traditional lacing system can be adjusted for a personalized fit.
  2. Wear the boots for a short period indoors or during light training to allow them to mold to your feet.

Compatibility:

  • These are Firm Ground (FG) football boots. They are designed for use on natural, dry grass pitches.
  • Avoid using these boots on artificial grass, hard, or muddy surfaces, as this may damage the stud configuration and reduce performance.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt and mud 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 hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag, to maintain their shape and prevent material degradation.
  • Lacquer Finish: Note that the lacquer finish on the bottom of the boot may wear off during play. This is a cosmetic effect and does not impact the performance or integrity of the boot.
