FAQs
Are these boots suitable for outdoor football pitches?
No, these adidas Predator Club Indoor Sala Football Boots are specifically designed for indoor court surfaces only. Using them outdoors on grass, artificial turf, or concrete will damage the non-marking sole and void any performance benefits.
How do I clean my indoor football boots?
Wipe the boots down with a damp cloth after each use to remove dirt. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution. Allow them to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
What does 'non-marking rubber outsole' mean?
A non-marking rubber outsole is designed to provide excellent grip on indoor surfaces without leaving scuff marks or streaks on the court, protecting the floor's integrity.
How can I ensure I get the correct size for my child?
Measure your child's foot length and compare it to the adidas size chart. It's often best to try the boots on with the type of socks they will wear during play to ensure a comfortable and secure fit, leaving a small gap at the toe.
Can these boots be used for sports other than football?
While primarily designed for indoor football (Sala/Futsal), their excellent grip and comfort can be beneficial for other indoor court sports like volleyball or handball, provided they are worn strictly on indoor surfaces.
What is the 'Sala' designation for?
'Sala' refers to 'Futsal' or indoor football, indicating that these boots are specifically engineered for the unique demands of fast-paced play on hard indoor surfaces, prioritizing grip, agility, and ball control.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure laces are not overtightened. Allow a short break-in period for the materials to conform to the foot. Verify the child's foot size against the boot size; if still uncomfortable, a different size might be needed. Wear appropriate football socks.
Lack of grip on indoor court.
Clean the non-marking rubber outsole thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris that might be reducing traction. Confirm the playing surface is indeed a suitable indoor court and not damp or excessively dusty.
Boots develop an odor.
Remove insoles after each use to air them out. Ensure boots are fully dry before storing. Consider using a boot deodorizer spray or placing shoe deodorizer inserts (e.g., charcoal bags) inside when not in use. Wash laces if they are contributing to the odor.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure the laces are threaded correctly and pulled tautly but comfortably, allowing for a secure fit without restricting circulation. Double-knotting can prevent untying during play.
- Fit Check: Have the child walk around and perform some light movements (e.g., small jumps, quick steps) to ensure the boots feel snug but not restrictive, with toes not touching the very end of the boot.
Compatibility
These boots are specifically designed for indoor court surfaces. This includes wooden gym floors, synthetic indoor pitches, and Futsal courts. They are not recommended for outdoor use on grass, artificial turf, or concrete, as this can damage the outsole and reduce performance.
Care
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the exterior of the boots with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Odor Control: Remove insoles to air out after use. Consider using boot deodorizers or cedar inserts to keep them fresh.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing.
