Extended Product Information

The adidas Predator Elite SG boots are built for players who dictate the game from midfield to attack, especially on soft, natural grass pitches. The HybridTouch upper molds comfortably to your foot, providing a natural touch that enhances ball feel. When striking, the Strikeskin rubber fins on the forefoot come into play, offering increased friction for more precise shots and the ability to add significant swerve to your passes and efforts on goal. Coupled with the pronounced touch grooves, you'll experience superior responsiveness, allowing quick adjustments and optimal ball manipulation. For example, during a crucial free-kick, these features empower you to place the ball exactly where you intend. The ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate with its multi-directional traction ensures you maintain agility and stability, whether you're making quick turns, accelerating past defenders, or planting your foot for a powerful shot. It provides the necessary grip to prevent slipping on wet or muddy surfaces, giving you confidence in every movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions### Setup1. Lacing: Begin by loosening the laces completely. Slide your foot into the boot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated at the back. Pull the laces taut from bottom to top, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit. Secure with a double knot to prevent coming undone during play.2. Break-in: As with most high-performance boots, a short break-in period may be beneficial. Wear them for light training sessions before competitive matches to allow the HybridTouch upper to fully conform to your foot shape.### CompatibilityThese boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches. This means they are best suited for natural grass fields that are wet, muddy, or otherwise soft, where longer, often removable, studs are required for optimal traction. Using them on firm ground (FG) or artificial grass (AG) may lead to discomfort, accelerated stud wear, and reduced performance.### Care1. Cleaning: After each use, especially on muddy pitches, gently tap the boots together to remove excess dirt. Use a soft brush or damp cloth to wipe down the upper and soleplate. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials which can damage the synthetic leather and grip elements.2. Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, or tumble dryers, as excessive heat can cause materials to shrink, crack, or become stiff. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.3. Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place, away from extreme temperatures. Using a boot bag can protect them from scuffs and dirt when transporting.
