FAQs

Can these boots be used for outdoor football?

No, these adidas Predator Club Indoor Sala Football Boots are specifically designed with a non-marking rubber outsole for optimal performance and traction on indoor court surfaces only. Using them outdoors on grass or artificial turf will damage the boots and is not recommended.

How do I clean my adidas indoor football boots?

To clean your boots, gently wipe the mesh upper and rubber outsole with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used on the outsole. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight.

What does 'non-marking outsole' mean?

A 'non-marking outsole' means the rubber material used for the sole is designed not to leave scuff marks or damage on polished indoor surfaces, such as gym floors or indoor courts, preserving the integrity of the playing area.

Are these boots suitable for futsal?

Yes, these boots are ideal for futsal and other indoor football activities. Their design, especially the non-marking rubber outsole, provides the necessary grip and agility for the fast-paced nature of futsal on hard indoor surfaces.

How do I ensure a good fit for my child?

To ensure a good fit, measure your child's foot and consult the adidas size chart. The lace closure allows for adjustability, but the base size should be accurate. Ensure there's a small space at the toe (about a thumb's width) but no excessive heel slippage.

Will these boots stretch over time?

The mesh upper may slightly conform to the foot over time with regular use, offering a more personalized fit. However, significant stretching that changes the boot's size is not expected.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too loose or too tight

Adjust the lace closure. Ensure laces are evenly tightened from the toe to the ankle. If consistently uncomfortable, review sizing against the adidas size chart.

Slipping on indoor surfaces

Ensure the outsole is clean and free from dirt or debris. The non-marking rubber works best on clean, dry indoor courts. Also, check the court surface for excessive dust or moisture.

Laces come undone frequently

Try a double knotting technique or experiment with different lacing methods that provide more security. Ensure laces are tied tightly enough at the start of play.

Foot discomfort or blisters

Ensure you are wearing appropriate sports socks. If the boots are new, allow for a break-in period. If discomfort persists, re-evaluate the sizing.

Boots develop an odor

Ensure boots are thoroughly air-dried after each use. You can use odor-absorbing inserts or sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside when not in use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Lacing: Before your first use, ensure you lace the boots properly. Start by loosening all laces from the bottom eyelets. Insert your foot, pushing your heel to the back of the boot. Then, systematically tighten the laces from bottom to top, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit. Double-knotting is recommended to prevent laces from coming undone during play.
  2. Initial Wear: Wear the boots for short periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your feet, preventing discomfort during your first full game.

Compatibility

These boots are exclusively designed for indoor surfaces. This includes:

  • Futsal courts
  • Gymnasiums
  • Indoor sports halls

They are not compatible with natural grass, artificial turf, or any outdoor surfaces, as using them on such surfaces will compromise the outsole's performance and durability, and could also damage the playing surface.

Care

  1. Cleaning: After each use, gently wipe the mesh upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For the rubber outsole, use a damp cloth or soft brush to clean off any debris, ensuring the non-marking properties are maintained. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators), as this can damage the materials and cause them to crack or stiffen.
  3. Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place. Using boot trees or stuffing them with newspaper can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
