FAQs

Are these boots suitable for all playing surfaces?

No, these are Firm Ground (FG) boots and are best suited for natural grass pitches. They are not designed for artificial grass, hard, or very wet/soft ground.

How do I achieve the best fit with the floating tongue?

The floating tongue is designed for easy entry. Lace the boots securely, ensuring the tongue is centered and comfortable before tightening the laces to your preferred level.

What does the 'EQT' in the name refer to?

EQT stands for Equipment, a classic adidas sportswear line from the 1990s. These boots feature a special colourway and branding celebrating that iconic era.

Will the lacquer on the sole wear off quickly?

The lacquer finish is expected to wear off during play. This is a normal occurrence and does not affect the performance or functionality of the boot.

How do I clean the Nanostrike+ upper?

Wipe gently with a damp cloth after removing excess mud with a soft brush. Avoid harsh cleaning agents.

Are these boots suitable for professional players?

Yes, the Predator range is endorsed by professional footballers like Jude Bellingham and Trent Alexander-Arnold, indicating their suitability for high-level play.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure laces are adjusted correctly using the floating tongue. Try wearing them for short periods initially to allow them to adapt to your foot shape.

Traction feels poor on the pitch

Check that the boots are being used on appropriate firm ground surfaces. Ensure the studs are free from mud or debris that could affect grip.

Lacquer on soleplate is peeling

This is a normal cosmetic wear and does not affect performance. Continue using the boots as normal.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent striking precision due to Nanostrike+ upper and rubber grip elements.
  • Enhanced traction and agility on firm ground thanks to the Strikeframe soleplate.
  • Comfortable and secure fit with the Primeknit collar and floating tongue.
  • Durable construction designed for the demands of football.
  • Stylish retro-inspired design that stands out.

Cons

  • Lacquer finish on the soleplate may wear off during play.
  • Firm ground specific – not suitable for artificial or soft ground.
  • Lace closure requires manual adjustment for optimal fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unpack the boots and inspect for any damage.
  2. Insert your preferred insoles if desired, though the included lining offers comfort.
  3. Lace the boots, utilizing the floating tongue for an easy step-in and adjusting to your preferred tightness.

Compatibility:

  • These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) football pitches. They are not recommended for use on artificial grass, hard ground, or soft/wet ground as this can lead to reduced performance and potential damage.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After use, remove excess mud with a soft brush. Wipe the boots with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  • Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag, to maintain their shape and condition.
  • Soleplate Lacquer: 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 impact the boot's performance or durability.
