How the Predator Accuracy+ compare to their competition
The adidas Predator Accuracy+ are a very different experience to most other boots in the market, including laceless due to the inclusion of hybridtouch for the upper. The combination of relative thinness and padded protection is relatively unique.
GOALThe problem with the Predator Accuracy+
The primary problem with any laceless boot is the lack of adjustability for tightness/lockdown, and these do not hug your feet even when compared to other laceless boots.
GOALThe Predator Accuracy+ are the perfect fit for
The adidas Predator Accuracy+ are perfect for midfield players hoping for a comfortable, structured option without excess bulk.
Our final thoughts
A significant upgrade on previous generations of the Predator and the best laceless Predator boot that adidas have released.
