Designed for young footballers who want to maximize their scoring chances, the adidas Kids Predator Elite Tongue SG football boots offer enhanced precision and ball control on soft ground. Featuring an upgraded HybridTouch upper and refined Strikeskin fins, these boots help young players strike with greater accuracy, though the soleplate's lacquer finish may wear during play.

The adidas Kids Predator Elite Tongue SG boots are engineered to elevate the game of aspiring young footballers on soft ground pitches. The HybridTouch upper provides a soft, adaptive feel, allowing for a natural connection with the ball. When dribbling or passing, the Strikeskin grip elements and pronounced touch grooves offer superior ball control, letting players keep the ball close and execute precise movements.
For shooting, the refined Strikeskin fins are strategically placed to give the ball extra grip and swerve, increasing accuracy and the chances of scoring. The foldover tongue contributes to a clean striking surface and a more integrated feel, minimizing distractions.
Crucially for dynamic play on soft, muddy pitches, the ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate features multidirectional traction that ensures young players can accelerate, change direction rapidly, and maintain stability without slipping. The ergonomic external heel counter further enhances lockdown, providing confidence during aggressive moves. Whether making a crucial pass, taking a long-range shot, or battling for possession, these boots empower players to perform at their best on challenging soft ground surfaces.
Lacing: Ensure boots are laced securely but comfortably, allowing for proper ankle movement. The traditional lace closure works in conjunction with the foldover tongue to provide a snug, personalized fit.
Break-in Period: Like all new football boots, these may require a short break-in period. We recommend wearing them for light training sessions before competitive matches to allow the materials to adapt to your child's foot shape.
These boots are specifically designed for Soft Ground (SG) pitches. This means natural grass fields that are wet or muddy. The metal studs are optimized for penetration and traction on such surfaces.
They are not recommended for Firm Ground (FG), Artificial Ground (AG), or indoor surfaces. Using them on inappropriate surfaces can lead to reduced performance, damage to the pitch, and premature wear of the boots.
Cleaning: After each use, remove loose mud and dirt using a soft brush or cloth. If necessary, rinse gently with cool water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing, as these can damage the materials and structure of the boots.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources such as radiators, hair dryers, or tumble dryers, as intense heat can cause materials to crack, shrink, or deform. Stuffing the boots with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid leaving them in damp environments, which can encourage mildew growth.
Lacquer Finish Note: Be aware that the lacquer finish on the soleplate is designed to wear off during play. This is a normal cosmetic change and does not affect the performance, durability, or integrity of the boot.
