FAQs
Can these be used on artificial turf?
These are FG (Firm Ground) boots designed for natural grass. While they can be worn on turf, the stud pattern is optimized for natural ground and may lead to excess wear on the outsole when used on artificial surfaces.
How should I clean the rubber grip elements?
Use a soft brush and lukewarm water. Avoid abrasive sponges which can damage the texture of the grip elements.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Predator series typically features a snug, performance fit. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find the standard fit tight, but the materials will provide some stretch over time.
What is Powerspine technology?
It is a structural feature within the soleplate designed to optimize power transfer during impact, effectively minimizing energy loss when you strike the ball.
Are these boots waterproof?
While they are moisture-resistant and designed to perform in various weather conditions, they are not fully waterproof and should be dried properly after play in wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel slippery on artificial grass
These boots are engineered for firm, natural grass. Use a dedicated AG-specific soleplate for artificial turf to prevent slipping and injury.
Accumulation of mud on rubber grip elements
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris from the grooves of the grip elements after each session to maintain optimal ball contact.
Material stiffening after drying
Avoid direct heat when drying. If the material feels stiff, gently flex the upper by hand to restore flexibility before your next session.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best performance, ensure you choose the correct size for a snug, secure fit. The Predator Elite FG is intended for firm, natural grass pitches; using them on hard surfaces or artificial turf may cause premature stud wear. To maintain the grip elements and frame integrity, clean the boots after every use by removing loose mud with a soft brush and wiping the upper with a damp cloth. Never submerge the boots in water or use harsh chemical cleaners, and always allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
