The adidas Predator Elite Tongue FG football boots are engineered to maximize a young player's impact on the pitch, particularly on firm ground (FG) surfaces. The HybridTouch upper ensures enduring comfort and support during intense matches, allowing players to focus on their game without distraction. The Strikeskin rubber fins are a game-changer for shooting and passing, offering significant grip on the ball. This allows for precise shot placement, enabling players to put more spin (swerve) on the ball, making it harder for goalkeepers to save.
The pronounced touch grooves on the upper work in conjunction with the foldover tongue to provide exceptional ball control and responsiveness. Whether dribbling in tight spaces, receiving a pass, or setting up for a shot, the boot ensures a natural and intuitive feel, allowing for quick adjustments and confident play. The ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate is designed for dynamic movement. Its multidirectional traction system provides explosive acceleration and quick directional changes, crucial for beating opponents or tracking back on defense. The ergonomic external heel counter ensures stability and lockdown during sharp cuts and sprints.
Players will find these boots excel in situations demanding high precision, such as taking free-kicks, striking from outside the box, or delivering pinpoint crosses. The comfortable and integrated fit means less distraction and more focus on making those critical plays.
Setup
These boots feature a traditional lace closure system. To ensure optimal performance and fit:
Loosen the laces fully before putting the boots on.
Slide your foot into the boot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated in the heel counter.
Pull the laces firmly from the bottom to the top, ensuring an even tension across your foot. Pay attention to how the foldover tongue sits.
Tie the laces securely to prevent them from coming undone during play. A double knot is recommended for extra security.
Compatibility
These adidas Predator Elite Tongue FG boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches. This refers to natural grass fields that are relatively dry and firm. Using these boots on other surfaces such as:
Artificial Grass (AG)
Turf (TF)
Indoor Courts (IC)
may lead to reduced performance, accelerated wear of the soleplate and studs, and could potentially void any product warranty. Always match your boot type to the playing surface.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your football boots:
After Each Use: Remove any loose mud and debris from the upper and soleplate using a soft brush or cloth. Wipe the entire boot clean with a damp cloth.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do NOT use direct heat sources like radiators, heaters, or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing them in plastic bags or damp environments, which can lead to odor and material degradation.
Cleaning the Soleplate: Regularly check between the studs for trapped mud or small stones, which can affect traction and damage the soleplate.
Lacquer Finish Note: Remember that the lacquer finish on the bottom of the soleplate may wear off during play. This is purely cosmetic and does not affect the performance or durability of the boot.
