FAQs
What type of playing surface are these boots best suited for?
These adidas Predator Elite Tongue FG boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches, which are natural grass fields that are dry and firm.

What is HybridTouch material?

How should I clean and care for these football boots?

Do these boots contain recycled materials?

What is the benefit of the foldover tongue?

Troubleshooting
The lacquer finish on the soleplate is wearing off.
This is a normal characteristic of the boot's design and will not affect the performance, durability, or grip of the product. Continue using the boots as intended.
Boots feel uncomfortable or too tight.
Ensure you have the correct size. If new, allow a short break-in period during light training sessions for the HybridTouch upper and Primeknit collar to mold to your foot. Adjust laces for a customized fit.
Poor grip or slipping on the pitch.
Verify that you are playing on a Firm Ground (FG) surface, which these boots are designed for. If playing on an inappropriate surface, performance may be compromised. Also, check the studs for any excessive wear or damage.
Boot materials appear dirty or stained.
Clean the boots regularly after each use. Use a damp cloth to wipe the HybridTouch upper and a soft brush for the soleplate. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unboxing: Carefully remove boots from packaging.
- Lacing: Loosen the laces, insert your foot, and tighten them to achieve a snug, comfortable fit. The lace closure allows for personalized adjustments.
- Break-in Period: Like all new football boots, these may require a short break-in period. Wear them during light training sessions before competitive matches to allow the materials to mold to your foot.
Compatibility:
- Playing Surface: These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches, which are natural grass surfaces that are firm and not waterlogged. Using them on artificial turf (AG) or soft ground (SG) may cause premature wear to the soleplate and studs, and could compromise performance or safety.
- Age Group: Designed for kids.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning After Use: Immediately after play, remove any mud or debris from the upper and soleplate using a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight) as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with boot trees or crumpled newspaper inside to help maintain their shape and absorb any residual moisture.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your boots, as this can damage the materials and construction.
- Soleplate Lacquer: Please note that the lacquer finish on the bottom of the boot's soleplate is designed to wear off during play. This is a normal cosmetic effect and will not affect the performance, durability, or grip of the product.
