The adidas Predator Elite Tongue SG football boots are engineered to maximize your impact on soft, natural ground pitches. The HybridTouch upper combined with Strikeskin grip elements means every touch, pass, and shot feels more precise. Imagine curling a free-kick with added swerve or drilling a shot into the top corner – the refined rubber fins provide the purchase needed for such moments. The larger foldover tongue not only secures your foot for a cleaner striking area but also contributes to an integrated feel, ensuring distractions are minimized as you focus on the ball.
The pronounced touch grooves give you an acute sense of the ball, allowing for quick adjustments and superior dribbling in tight spaces. On the defensive side, this heightened control assists with quick clearances and accurate distribution.
Underfoot, the ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate is your foundation for dynamic play. Its multidirectional traction is crucial for sudden bursts of speed, sharp turns, and maintaining balance on slippery surfaces. The ergonomic external heel counter adds stability, reducing unwanted foot movement within the boot during explosive actions. These boots are specifically designed to perform in challenging soft ground conditions, offering the grip and support needed to dominate the midfield, make decisive runs, or execute clinical finishes when the pitch is wet or muddy.
Lacing: Loosen the laces completely.
Foot Insertion: Slide your foot into the boot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated in the heel cup.
Tongue Adjustment: Pull the foldover tongue into position, ensuring it lies flat over the laces and is secured by its strap (if applicable).
Tightening Laces: Starting from the bottom, progressively tighten the laces, ensuring a snug yet comfortable fit around your foot. Tie them securely.
Initial Wear: Wear the boots for a short period around the house or during a light training session to break them in and allow them to mold to your foot shape before full match play.
Playing Surface: Exclusively designed for Soft Ground (SG) pitches. This includes natural grass fields that are wet, muddy, or require longer studs for optimal grip.
User: Adult players (male/unisex) looking for high-performance football boots.
Foot Type: The Primeknit collar offers an adaptive fit, and the lace closure allows for customization to various foot widths, but individual comfort may vary.
Cleaning After Use: Immediately after playing, remove excess mud and dirt using a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Washing: Hand wash with mild soap and lukewarm water if necessary. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Drying: Stuff the boots with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using a boot bag can protect them during transport.
Soleplate Note: As stated, the lacquer finish on the bottom of the soleplate may wear off during play. This is normal and will not affect the product's performance or durability. Regular cleaning will help maintain the stud integrity.
