The adidas Predator Elite Tongue SG boots are engineered to elevate performance on soft ground (SG) football pitches. The Strikeskin rubber fins on the upper are your secret weapon for ball striking, allowing for exceptional precision whether you're curling a shot into the top corner or delivering a pinpoint pass. The enhanced grip means you can impart more spin and swerve on the ball, giving you an edge in dead-ball situations and open play.
The HybridTouch upper combined with the pronounced touch grooves ensures a highly responsive feel, helping you maintain close control in tight spaces and react quickly to changing game situations. This sensitivity translates to confident dribbling and accurate first touches, which are crucial in high-pressure moments.
On the pitch, the ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate provides the necessary foundation for explosive movements. Its multidirectional traction studs dig into soft, wet surfaces, offering reliable grip for rapid changes in direction, sharp cuts, and powerful acceleration. The ergonomic external heel counter adds stability, locking your foot in place for sustained comfort and reducing slippage during intense play. These boots are specifically designed to help players like Jude Bellingham and Alessia Russo dictate play and finish chances on natural grass pitches that are soft or muddy.
Lacing: Loosen the laces completely. Slide your foot into the boot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated in the heel counter.
Tongue Adjustment: Position the foldover tongue flat over the laces, securing it with the elastic strap underneath, if applicable. This creates a clean striking surface.
Tightening: Begin tightening the laces from the bottom upwards, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit across your foot. Tie securely.
Break-In: New boots may require a short break-in period. Wear them for light training sessions or short periods to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape before full matches.
Playing Surface: These boots are exclusively designed for Soft Ground (SG) pitches. This typically refers to natural grass pitches that are wet, muddy, or have a deeper, softer surface. Using them on firm ground (FG), artificial grass (AG), or indoor surfaces is not recommended as it can damage the studs, soleplate, and significantly reduce performance and durability.
Post-Match Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and mud from the boots and studs using a soft brush or by tapping the boots together. Wipe the entire boot surface with a damp cloth.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, heaters, or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
Lacquer Finish: Please note that the lacquer finish on the bottom of the ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate is designed to wear off during play. This is a normal cosmetic occurrence and will not affect the performance, durability, or structural integrity of the product.
