Designed for serious football players aiming for enhanced precision and control on *soft ground*, the adidas Predator Elite Tongue SG offers advanced grip and responsiveness to maximize striking power. While delivering top-tier performance, note that the soleplate's lacquer finish is designed to wear off during play, a cosmetic change that does not impact the product's function.

The adidas Predator Elite Tongue SG is engineered for the demanding player who thrives on soft, natural grass pitches. Its core strength lies in enhancing your ability to strike and control the ball with precision. The combination of the Strikeskin grip elements and HybridTouch upper means you'll feel an immediate connection, allowing for precise passes, powerful shots with swerve, and confident dribbling.
The foldover tongue provides a clean striking surface, reducing interference between your foot and the ball, while the Primeknit collar ensures the boot moves as one with your foot, providing essential stability during explosive changes of direction. The ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate with its specialized studs is crucial for maintaining traction on slippery soft ground, giving you the confidence to accelerate, cut, and pivot without losing grip. This boot is particularly beneficial for midfielders and forwards who frequently engage in shooting, passing, and precise ball distribution in challenging soft ground conditions. Remember to use these boots exclusively on soft ground for optimal performance and boot longevity. Using them on harder surfaces will compromise stud integrity and comfort.
Lacing: Ensure laces are threaded evenly through all eyelets. Start from the toe and pull laces taut as you progress towards the ankle. The lace closure allows for a customizable, secure fit.
Tongue Adjustment: Position the foldover tongue comfortably over the top of your foot. The integrated strap helps keep it in place during play.
Collar Fit: The adidas Primeknit collar is designed for a snug fit. Gently pull the collar open to slide your foot in, then allow it to conform to your ankle.
Surface: These boots are specifically designed for Soft Ground (SG) football pitches. This means wet, muddy, or natural grass surfaces. They are not suitable for firm ground, artificial grass, or indoor surfaces.
Fit: Features a regular fit suitable for a wide range of foot shapes. Available in UK size 7 (and other variants).
Cleaning After Use: Immediately after play, remove excess mud and dirt from the boots using a soft brush or cloth. Wipe down the upper with a damp cloth.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Stud Maintenance: Regularly check and clean the studs. Replace any damaged or worn studs if they are removable.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, ideally with boot trees or crumpled paper inside to maintain their shape.
Lacquer Note: The lacquer finish on the bottom of the ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate is designed to wear off during play. This is normal and will not affect the performance or durability of the product. No special care is needed for this cosmetic change.
