Extended Product Information

The adidas Predator League Soft Ground Football Boots are engineered for peak performance on challenging natural grass fields that are wet or muddy. The Hybridfeel upper wraps around your foot, offering a snug yet comfortable fit that enhances your natural touch on the ball. When striking or passing, the Strikescale elements on the upper provide crucial grip, allowing for more precise control and powerful shots.The soft ground outsole is the core of these boots' performance, featuring longer, often conical studs designed to penetrate the soft surface, providing exceptional traction and preventing slips. This ensures you can accelerate, change direction, and maintain balance even in the slickest conditions. The inclusion of a stud key means you can easily check, tighten, or replace studs as needed, ensuring consistent grip. These boots are ideal for young players who need reliable footwear to perform their best on unkempt or rain-affected pitches, giving them the confidence to attack, defend, and control the midfield.

Setup, Compatibility & Care### Initial Setup1. Lacing: Before your first use, properly lace up the boots. Ensure they are snug but not too tight, allowing for comfortable movement. Experiment with lacing patterns if needed.2. Stud Check: Use the provided stud key to ensure all removable studs are securely tightened. This prevents them from loosening during play and ensures optimal grip.### CompatibilityThese boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches. This includes natural grass fields that are wet, muddy, or have soft topsoil. They are not compatible with firm ground (FG), artificial grass (AG), or indoor (IC) surfaces, as using them on inappropriate surfaces can damage the studs, outsole, and potentially cause injury.### Care & Maintenance1. Cleaning After Each Use: After every game or training session, clean your boots. Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose mud and debris from the upper and outsole. For stubborn mud, a damp cloth or sponge can be used. Avoid harsh detergents.2. Stud Maintenance: Regularly check and tighten the removable studs with the included key. If studs become worn or damaged, replace them to maintain optimal traction.3. Drying: Allow your boots to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight). Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Never put them in a dryer.4. Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing them in plastic bags or damp environments, as this can lead to odor and material degradation.5. Avoid Submerging: While designed for wet conditions, avoid fully submerging the boots in water for extended periods during cleaning, as this can affect the materials and adhesive.
