FAQs

What does 'EQT' stand for?

EQT refers to adidas's classic 'Equipment' line, known for its distinctive 90s aesthetic and performance technology.

Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?

No, these are Firm Ground (FG) boots and are designed for natural grass pitches. Using them on artificial grass can lead to excessive stud pressure and potential damage to the boots and pitch.

How does the 'floating tongue' feature work?

The floating tongue is designed to stay in place and allow for easy entry into the boot, while also providing adjustability for a personalized fit without interference from traditional tongue attachments.

What is the benefit of the Nanostrike+ upper?

The Nanostrike+ upper combines a soft, lightweight mesh with integrated rubber grip elements. This design enhances ball control and offers optimal precision for striking the ball in both dry and wet conditions.

Will the lacquer wearing off affect my performance?

No, the product information states that the lacquer finish on the bottom of the boot may wear off during play but will not affect the product's performance.

Are these boots good for players who take a lot of shots?

Yes, the Powerspine technology in the midfoot provides enhanced stability for stronger shots, and the Nanostrike+ upper aids in precise ball striking.

What does the wavy 3-Stripes design represent?

The wavy 3-Stripes are inspired by the classic Predator Precision model, adding a retro design element to the modern boot.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure laces are adjusted correctly and the floating tongue is positioned for optimal comfort. Allow for a break-in period of a few wearings on the pitch. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is appropriate.

Traction feels inconsistent on the pitch.

Check that the Strikeframe soleplate and studs are clean of mud or debris. Ensure you are playing on a firm ground surface for which the boots are designed. The lacquer finish wearing off does not affect traction.

Laces are difficult to keep tied.

Ensure laces are tied using a double knot for added security. Consider replacing laces with a more durable, less slippery type if this becomes a recurring issue.

Inner lining feels abrasive.

This may be due to the microfibre lining and Primeknit collar. Wear with appropriate football socks to provide a comfortable barrier. The material is designed for breathability and a secure fit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced striking precision due to Nanostrike+ upper and grip elements.
  • Superior traction and rotational agility from the Strikeframe soleplate and fang studs.
  • Comfortable and adaptable fit provided by the Primeknit collar and floating tongue.
  • 90s aesthetic appeals to fans of classic adidas designs.
  • Suitable for both dry and wet firm ground conditions.
  • Supports powerful shots with Powerspine technology.

Cons

  • Lacquer finish on the soleplate may wear off during play.
  • Firm ground specific, limiting use on other pitch types.
  • May require a break-in period for optimal comfort.
  • Not ideal for players preferring a very minimalist boot.
  • Limited colour options within this specific EQT Elite Tongue model.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Lace Closure: Ensure the laces are tied securely for a snug fit.
  2. Floating Tongue: Adjust the floating tongue to your preferred position for easy step-in and a personalized feel.

Compatibility:

  • These boots are designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches. They are best suited for natural grass pitches that are dry and slightly wet. They are not recommended for artificial grass, hard ground, or soft, muddy pitches.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After each use, clean the boots with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, to maintain their shape and protect them from excessive moisture or sunlight.
  • Lacquer Finish: Be aware that the lacquer finish on the bottom of the boot may naturally wear off during play. This is a cosmetic effect and does not compromise the performance or structural integrity of the boot.
