Extended Product Information

The adidas Predator Elite Laceless FG boots are engineered for players who want to dominate the game with precision and control. On the pitch, the HybridTouch upper provides a soft, responsive feel, allowing for excellent ball manipulation. The strategically placed Strikeskin rubber fins are immediately noticeable, offering exceptional grip for curling shots, precise passes, and powerful strikes. For example, when attempting a long-range shot, the added friction helps generate significant swerve, making the ball harder for goalkeepers to track. The laceless closure ensures a smooth, unobstructed striking surface, which means every contact with the ball feels clean and direct, translating to more accurate passes and shots. The ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate provides aggressive multidirectional traction, making quick changes of direction and explosive acceleration possible on firm ground. Players will feel stable during high-speed runs and agile when weaving through defenders. The Primeknit collar adapts to your ankle, creating a secure, locked-in sensation that instills confidence during dynamic movements. These boots are optimized for firm, natural grass pitches, delivering peak performance where sharp cuts and explosive power are key to success. Note that the lacquer finish on the bottom of the boot is cosmetic and will wear off with use, but this does not impact the boot's performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care### SetupThe adidas Predator Elite Laceless FG boots feature a slip-on design. To put them on:- Step 1: Ensure your foot is dry and free of thick socks that might impede entry.- Step 2: Gently stretch the Primeknit collar and slide your foot in.- Step 3: Wiggle your foot until it's securely seated, ensuring your heel is firmly in place. The laceless design means there are no laces to tie or adjust. The boot should feel snug but not uncomfortably tight.### Compatibility- Surface: These boots are designed exclusively for Firm Ground (FG) pitches. Using them on artificial turf (AG) or soft ground (SG) can damage the soleplate and compromise performance.- Fit: The laceless design often offers a snug, 'second-skin' fit. They are unisex and suitable for adult players. Refer to standard adidas sizing for UK 9.5.### CareProper care will extend the life and performance of your boots:- Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and grass with a soft brush or damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, ideally with boot trees or crumpled newspaper inside to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.- Lacquer Finish: The lacquer finish on the ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate is designed to wear off during play. This is normal and does not affect the boot's performance or durability.
