Designed for young footballers aged 13 UK Child, the adidas Predator League Tongue SG Football Boots offer enhanced ball control and striking precision on soft ground pitches thanks to their HybridFeel upper and Strikescale elements.

HybridFeel Upper: A tactile and flexible synthetic material designed for lightweight comfort and support, allowing for a natural feel on the ball.
Strikescale Grip Elements: Refined elements on the upper that provide increased purchase on the ball, leading to greater precision and swerve for shots and passes.
Foldover Tongue with Strap: A slightly larger tongue design that ensures a more integrated and secure fit, enhancing comfort and contact with the ball.
Lightweight Soft Ground Soleplate: Offers a winning combination of agility, speed, and stability on soft ground pitches through multidirectional traction.
Enhanced Touch Grooves: More pronounced grooves for superior ball control, helping players tee up shots effectively.
Recycled Materials: Constructed in part with recycled materials, contributing to sustainability efforts.
Removable Studs: Includes a key for managing the metal-tipped studs, allowing for optimal grip adjustment on soft ground.

The adidas Predator League Tongue SG Football Boots are engineered to elevate a young player's game on soft ground. The HybridFeel upper provides a comfortable, natural connection with the ball, crucial for developing touch and control.
The standout feature, Strikescale grip elements, are strategically placed to give players an advantage when striking. Imagine lining up a shot from outside the box; these elements allow for precise contact, enabling powerful shots with controlled swerve that can challenge any goalkeeper. Similarly, for intricate passes, they ensure the ball goes exactly where intended.
With the lightweight soleplate, young athletes can experience improved agility and speed, essential for outpacing defenders or quickly changing direction during a game. The multidirectional traction means confident movement across damp or muddy pitches. The foldover tongue not only secures the fit but also offers a cleaner striking surface, further contributing to accuracy. These boots are designed for those moments where every touch, pass, and shot counts, helping players feel confident and in control to score more goals.
Lacing: Secure the boots using the traditional lace closure system for a snug, personalized fit.
Tongue Adjustment: Ensure the foldover tongue is comfortably positioned over the laces, using its strap to keep it in place, providing a clean striking surface.
Stud Check: Before first use and periodically, use the provided stud key to ensure all removable metal studs are securely tightened. This is crucial for stability and safety on soft ground.
Playing Surface: These boots are exclusively designed for soft ground (SG) pitches. Using them on artificial turf (AG), firm ground (FG), or hard surfaces will compromise performance, potentially damage the boots, and may cause injury.
Age Group: Designed for kids, this specific model is a 13 UK Child size.
Stud Configuration: Note that smaller junior sizes (2.5 UK Child and below) come with six metal-tipped studs, while larger sizes (3 UK Child and above) feature additional moulded plastic studs. Always check the specific stud type for the boot size.
Cleaning: After each use, especially on soft ground, wipe off excess mud and dirt with a damp cloth. For tougher grime, use a soft brush and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight) as this can damage the synthetic materials and adhesives.
Stud Maintenance: Regularly clean mud from around the studs and threads. Periodically remove and clean the studs if they become caked with mud, then re-tighten them securely. This prolongs the life of the studs and ensures optimal grip.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using boot trees to help maintain their shape.
Material: The upper is HybridFeel, a synthetic material. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods that could scratch or damage the surface.
