FAQs
What type of playing surface are these boots suitable for?
These adidas Predator Pro Tongue FG boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) surfaces, which include dry, natural grass pitches.
How should I clean the HybridTouch upper?
For the HybridTouch upper, which has a suede-like feel, gently wipe off dirt with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used. Avoid abrasive brushes or harsh chemicals.
What is the benefit of the foldover tongue?
The foldover tongue with its securing strap provides a cleaner striking surface by covering the laces, and it creates a more integrated and comfortable fit, enhancing the feel for the ball.
Do these boots contain recycled materials?
Yes, these adidas Predator Pro Tongue FG boots are made in part with recycled materials as part of adidas's commitment to sustainability.
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
Info needed: While the lace closure allows for some adjustability, the general fit might vary. It's recommended to try them on to ensure comfort if you have wider feet.
Can I use these boots on artificial grass?
No, these boots are specifically for Firm Ground (FG). Using them on Artificial Grass (AG) pitches can lead to premature wear of the studs and soleplate, and may also reduce grip and increase the risk of injury.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too stiff or uncomfortable during initial wear.
Football boots, especially new ones, often require a break-in period. Wear them during light training sessions or for short periods around the house to allow the materials to soften and mold to your foot shape. Ensure you are wearing appropriate football socks.
Lack of grip on the pitch.
These boots are designed for firm ground. If you are playing on wet, soft, or artificial surfaces, the stud configuration may not provide optimal traction. Ensure the pitch condition matches the 'FG' designation. Also, clean the soleplate regularly to prevent mud or debris build-up.
Foldover tongue does not stay securely in place.
Ensure the strap on the foldover tongue is properly engaged and secured. Sometimes, a slight adjustment to how the laces are tied around the tongue area can also help secure it further. Make sure the tongue material is not creased excessively before securing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure the laces are tightened evenly from toe to ankle, providing a snug but comfortable fit. The lace closure allows for personalized tension.
- Tongue Adjustment: Fold the tongue down and secure it with its integrated strap to achieve the intended integrated feel and clean striking surface.
- Initial Wear: It's recommended to wear the boots for short periods during training sessions before competitive matches to allow them to break in and mold to your feet.
Compatibility
- Playing Surface: These boots are designed exclusively for Firm Ground (FG) surfaces. This includes natural grass pitches that are dry and firm. Using them on artificial turf (AG), soft ground (SG), or indoor surfaces (IC) may compromise performance, traction, and durability.
- Player Type: Suitable for adult players of all genders.
Care
- Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and debris using a soft brush or damp cloth. For the HybridTouch (suede-like) upper, use a specialized suede cleaner or a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct sunlight or use artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers), as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, away from extreme temperatures. Using shoe trees or stuffing them with newspaper can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Avoid Submerging: Do not submerge the boots in water or put them in a washing machine, as this can damage the materials and structure.
