The adidas Predator Elite Laceless boots are engineered for players who prioritize precision and control in their game. On firm ground pitches, the ControlFrame 2.0 outsole provides aggressive traction, allowing for quick changes of direction and explosive acceleration without slippage. The HybridTouch upper ensures a soft and responsive feel for the ball, making intricate dribbles and precise passes feel natural. When striking the ball, the Strikeskin fins come into play, providing extra grip that translates to enhanced accuracy and the ability to add significant spin. The laceless design creates an uninterrupted surface for striking, which can lead to more consistent contact and power. The PRIMEKNIT collar works to lock your foot securely in place, minimizing movement inside the boot during dynamic play, ensuring that all your energy is transferred effectively. These boots are best utilized in matches and training sessions exclusively on firm, natural grass surfaces where their specialized outsole can perform optimally.
Sizing: Ensure you have selected the correct size. The laceless design requires a snug fit, so try them on with your preferred football socks.
Putting On: Due to the PRIMEKNIT collar, inserting your foot may require a slight stretch of the collar. Use any integrated pull tabs if available to assist. The material is designed to adapt to your foot over a few wears.
Break-In: While the materials are flexible, it's recommended to wear them during light training sessions before competitive matches to allow the boots to fully mold to your foot.
Surface: These boots are exclusively designed for Firm Ground (FG) surfaces. This means natural grass pitches that are firm and dry. Using them on artificial turf (AG) or soft ground (SG) can compromise performance, traction, and potentially damage the boots.
Fit: The laceless design provides a compression fit. Players with exceptionally wide feet might find the initial fit restrictive, though the materials do adapt.
Cleaning After Each Use: Immediately after play, remove excess mud and dirt from the outsole and upper using a soft brush or cloth. This prevents debris from hardening and damaging the materials.
Washing the Upper: Wipe the HybridTouch upper and PRIMEKNIT collar with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution (like dish soap diluted in water) and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Always allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct sunlight, radiators, or use a hairdryer, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
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.
Odor Control: If odors develop, sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the boots and leave overnight, then tap it out. Alternatively, use specialized boot deodorizers.
