I have watched almost every review I can on these. Being completely honest, I feel this is the best review vid I’ve seen on the preds. The points you touch on and the way you describe the boot is very original and I feel that’s tough to do more than ever now. Fantastic review so happy to have you back man!

@BootWizard 9 ай бұрын

Thanks man, appreciate you watching and your kind words. It does become a little difficult to be original with a boot that everyone has reviewed so I just went a little bit more with feeling on this one.

Thank you for paying this much attention to the heel area... by bending it and showing padding you are covering so much that is missing from other reviewers. Cheers!

@@BootWizard Yes, you definitely helped! The external heel counter and flexible heel material reminds me of the Copa 17.1. As someone with bony heels (haglund), it's really hard to find boots that won't kill me after a game... I'm looking into modding the copa mundial by removing some external stitching and access the plastic heel cup to cut of the central part of it.

I have flat feet so I was a bit scared of getting these due to people saying these are narrower than the accuracy.1s. But then, I have been a Predator football boot fanboy for so long that I decided to take the risk and got these. Luckily that traditional lasing system helped a tone and the fit was near perfect. Close to the foot but didn't feel crushing or painful at all. Comfortable plus the ball control, passing and shooting were all really enjoyable.

@BootWizard 9 ай бұрын

Ideal, glad they worked out for you. The traditional tongue is certainly going to help out the flat footed. Glad you like them. 👍

Thanks for the thorough review. Pleeeease, have you tried the laceless version? I always prefer a one piece upper and I heard the laceless have a slimmer overall profile (with less volume). All of that suit better my narrow feet but I wanna make sure it has a decent lockdown.

@BootWizard 9 ай бұрын

I haven't played in the laceless I've only tried them on. Because of the one piece they are slimmer I'd say that's true, but less adjustable, the Laced elite might still be best for you. I didn't really rate the lockdown in the laceless either.

@alphaignition5351 9 ай бұрын

I have wide feet.. I wear a US 13D. I've always worn Preds, since 2001. I got the Elite LL and it only took me a week to break them in to the point where it doesn't hurt. That being said, they are narrower than my accuracy's and more like my edge's. and I also still have my precision's! I tried wearing them a year ago and the sole also cracked. Still never throwing them out.

@BootWizard 9 ай бұрын

Great to get a viewpoint from someone with a wide foot. Thanks for that hopefully it helps a few people out. 100% narrower than the accuracy, that will probably still be my recommendation for the wide foot crew. Ah man, sorry to hear about your Precisions. You just want one more run in them and they end up giving up. As you saw, I feel your pain.

Thank you for the honest review on foot-shape. For some reasons, none of adidas boots fit well on my slightly wide feet. I’d love to try Adidas for so many times but none of them works for me. So sad. 😭

Great great review!! I’m considering these for my next boots, the non FT version. Just one thing I’m tossing up is, do I go for the regular FG version you have reviewed here, or the AG version, I’ve seen that is an option, and I know it isn’t that different. But I usually prefer buying AG boots even though I play majority of my games on FG, but I like that it gives me more confidence when I do play on AG fields

@BootWizard 5 ай бұрын

If you're going to be wearing on AG then the FG probably isn't the best choice. But, if you're mainly on FG I think the FG is a better soleplate.

@gabr131s 5 ай бұрын

@shubhpinjani 9 ай бұрын

How is the performance on AG fields with the rubber pallets on? Is safety a concern while using FG soleplate on AG pitch with this model.

@BootWizard 9 ай бұрын

I've not found too much problems, the obvious answer is to go for the AG plate but if you're set on the FG, you're likely to be okay, studs can be a little on the long side at times if your pitch isn't good quality but I've not found myself getting stuck at all

@lukashalmo7628 9 ай бұрын

Thanks for review ! So to sum it up, is the hype real ? I mean, everybody was very happy with Predator Accuracy, now these come out and it is like jesus came back from dead. I am still on the fence, these for full retail or Accuracy .1 below 100 €. Would it be justified spend that much more money ?

@BootWizard 9 ай бұрын

I don't think you can justify paying €260 Vs under €100 both for top end boots. These are great, really good and I much prefer them to the accuracy. The hype is justified, but they're not magic! Do I prefer them enough to spend an extra 150+ euros. Absolutely not. Realistically I'd always say for any boot it's not worth paying full price. Wait for sale or pick up an old colourway. .

@optimusd3854 8 ай бұрын

Would you, can you replace the insoles generally in football boots and if so which brand or is it the case where the insole with the boot works for that boot?

@BootWizard 8 ай бұрын

Generally top end boots will have removable insoles that are easily replaced. Even takedowns with glued insoles aren't that hard to remove and replace. As for a brand of insoles I have only tried a couple so couldn't really recommend. Realine and wefoot are very good if you can get them. I tend not to replace my insoles because it affects the boot and I'm trying to review them as close to retail as possible. But it's not a bad thing to do at all.

do you think the low / narrow toe box can be broken in over time? Got the ag plate and wore them in a pick up game today. Length is perfect for me but some slight pinching in the toe box. Can’t go up half a size because I refuse to have space between the toe and boot 🫠

@BootWizard 9 ай бұрын

It will break in slightly but it's a fairly well structured synthetic you won't get too much movement, more softening than anything else

@themanmiles95 8 ай бұрын

Will you ever review the ag version?

@BootWizard 8 ай бұрын

Possible but it's not on my list at the moment. I do one review a week and I'm not sure if I'll have time (or money) to be able to do the AG but I'll try.

@JuniorPineapple 5 ай бұрын

I usually get size 10.5 and went to try on these boots and they felt a little bit tight on my foot but when i tried on the 11 they felt better. My question is, will the breaking in time make it looser and feel just right or just go half a size up?

@BootWizard 5 ай бұрын

Stick with the size that feels comfortable out of the box. They will break in but it's not going to make a massive difference with these, so if the 11 is better, go with that, they've got a very narrow toebox

recently bought the tongue version of the new preds and they kill my feet, outsole is so stiff and heel has been killing me, maybe the boot isn’t for me, i’ve been using phantom gx since they’ve released and they fit me PERFECT, going to try to break them in if not going back to my gx

@BootWizard 9 ай бұрын

Sometimes it is just a case of boots not fitting certain foot types or what you're looking for. Outsole isn't going to change much and it's certainly very different to the GX. Give it another shot and you're right you might be happier in the GX.

@machaazahisagama3575 9 ай бұрын

So the toe box presses down on the big toe and if you go up a size will that affect the performance?

@BootWizard 9 ай бұрын

It depends. If the low toe box is causing you to be uncomfortable then you have 2 options, go up half, which I usually don't recommend if it is going to give you too much room at the end of the boot, but in some circumstances it will be the right option, or, you just have to pick different boots with a shape better suited to you.

@machaazahisagama3575 8 ай бұрын

Update: Just now seeing this sorry. I got them true to size and they fit perfect and the toe box wasn’t an issue. I have that problem mostly with Nike boots(Gx2,Tiempos). The only thing here is the heel lockdown is not that great at least with thin socks lol.. Do you think going down a size would be worth it or just go for comfort?

@BootWizard 8 ай бұрын

@@machaazahisagama3575 going down half sounds like a bad idea considering you seem to be happy with the rest of the fit. I'd consider maybe just trying some grip socks with heel grips.
