The adidas Predator League SG football boots are built for decisive moments on the pitch. The HybridFeel upper provides a soft, close-to-ball touch, allowing young players to feel connected to the ball for intricate dribbling and passing. When it comes to striking, the Strikescale grip elements are crucial, offering additional friction that translates into greater power, precision, and the ability to add swerve to shots. Imagine a player bending a free-kick into the top corner or hitting a perfectly placed shot from outside the box; these elements aid in achieving that accuracy.
Enhanced touch grooves work in tandem with the upper to ensure the ball 'sticks' to the foot, offering superior control during fast-paced play or when needing to settle a difficult pass. This means fewer mis-touches and more confidence in possession.
On soft, natural grass, the lightweight soleplate with its multidirectional traction is a game-changer. It allows for explosive acceleration, sharp turns, and a stable base for powerful shots. Players can make quick cuts, burst past defenders, and maintain balance when challenged, making these boots ideal for dynamic attackers and agile midfielders alike.
Setup:
Lacing: Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets. Tighten them evenly from toe to ankle for a snug, secure fit without creating pressure points.
Break-in: Like all football boots, a short break-in period during light training sessions or casual wear before a competitive match can enhance comfort and fit. This allows the HybridFeel upper to mold to the player's foot shape.
Compatibility:
Playing Surface: These boots are designed exclusively for soft ground (SG) pitches. This includes natural grass fields that are wet, muddy, or particularly soft. The long, conical studs provide the necessary penetration for optimal grip and stability on such surfaces. They are not recommended for firm ground, artificial grass, or indoor surfaces, as this can damage the boots and increase the risk of injury.
Age Group: This specific model is a child's size (3 UK Child), suitable for young players.
Care:
Cleaning: After each use, especially on soft ground, remove excess mud and debris using a soft brush or cloth. Wipe the upper with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
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 materials.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using boot trees or stuffing with newspaper to maintain their shape.
Stud Maintenance: Regularly check the studs for wear or damage, particularly if they are replaceable. Ensure they are clean and securely fastened before each use.
