Extended Product Information

The adidas Predator League SG Kids Football Boots are engineered for young players who want to make a significant impact on soft ground pitches. The HybridFeel upper provides a comfortable, natural connection with the ball, allowing for intuitive control. When dribbling, passing, or shooting, the Strikescale grip elements truly shine, offering an extra layer of grip that translates into more precise shots and the ability to bend the ball with swerve. Young athletes will feel more confident taking on defenders and striking from distance. The pronounced touch grooves further refine ball manipulation, giving players an advantage in tight spaces and when preparing for powerful strikes.On the field, the lightweight soft ground soleplate ensures that speed and agility are never compromised. Its multidirectional traction pattern allows for quick changes in direction, explosive sprints, and stable footing during tackles and jumps. These boots excel in wet, muddy conditions, providing the necessary grip to prevent slipping and maintain performance where other boots might struggle. For example, a player attempting a long-range shot will find the enhanced grip helps them put more power and accuracy into their strike, while the lightweight nature supports quick bursts of speed down the wing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions### Setup1. Lacing: Before wearing, ensure laces are threaded correctly and evenly. When putting the boots on, loosen the laces sufficiently to allow your foot to slide in comfortably. Pull the laces tight, working from the bottom up, to achieve a snug but not restrictive fit. Tie a secure knot that won't come undone during play. A properly laced boot enhances comfort, support, and ball control.2. Break-in Period: Like all new football boots, these may require a short break-in period. Wear them for light training sessions or short periods initially to allow the material to adapt to your foot shape.### CompatibilityThese adidas Predator League SG boots are specifically designed for Soft Ground (SG) pitches. SG boots feature longer, often conical, removable studs that penetrate soft, wet, natural grass surfaces to provide maximum grip. They are not compatible with:- Firm Ground (FG): Using SG boots on firm ground can cause discomfort, stud pressure, and premature wear to the studs, as well as reduced traction.- Artificial Grass (AG): Using SG boots on artificial turf can damage both the pitch and the boots, and significantly increases the risk of injury due to studs getting caught in the turf.- Indoor Courts (IC): These boots are entirely unsuitable for indoor play.### Care1. Cleaning After Use: Immediately after playing, especially in muddy conditions, remove excess mud and dirt. Use a soft brush or cloth to gently wipe down the upper. For stubborn mud, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.2. Drying: Air dry your boots naturally at room temperature. Do not place them directly on heaters, in direct sunlight, or in a tumble dryer, as extreme heat can damage the synthetic materials and adhesives. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.3. Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Avoid storing them in sealed bags for extended periods, as this can lead to odor and mildew.4. Stud Maintenance: Regularly check the studs for wear or damage. For SG boots with removable studs, ensure they are securely tightened before each use. Replace worn or broken studs as necessary.
