The adidas Predator Elite Fold-Over Tongue SG boots are engineered to maximize your impact on soft ground football pitches. The HybridTouch upper molds to your foot, offering a comfortable, glove-like fit that feels natural from the first wear. This, combined with the Primeknit collar, ensures your foot is securely locked in, providing the confidence needed for explosive movements.
When it comes to ball interaction, the Strikeskin rubber fins are a game-changer. These strategically placed elements provide an elevated level of grip on the ball, enabling you to generate more spin and swerve on shots and passes. Imagine curling a free-kick just out of the goalkeeper's reach or delivering a pinpoint cross into the box – the Strikeskin technology gives you that extra control. The pronounced touch grooves further enhance responsiveness, allowing for a precise feel for the ball, crucial for tight dribbling and quick decision-making in congested areas.
The fold-over tongue with a strap not only provides a clean striking surface but also contributes to a snug, integrated fit, preventing lace interference and offering a consistent touch area. On the underside, the ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate is your foundation for dynamic play. Its multidirectional traction is specifically designed for soft ground, digging in to give you exceptional grip for quick changes of direction, powerful pushes off, and rapid acceleration. The ergonomic external heel counter further stabilizes your foot during high-speed actions, ensuring you maintain balance and power throughout the match.
These boots are ideal for players who value precision, power, and agility, allowing them to dictate play and make decisive contributions in key moments.
Lacing: Loosen the laces sufficiently to easily slide your foot into the boot.
Foot Placement: Insert your foot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated in the heel cup.
Lace Adjustment: Begin tightening the laces from the bottom upwards, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit. Focus on securing the midfoot.
Tongue Position: Position the fold-over tongue smoothly over your laces. Use the integrated strap to secure it, which helps maintain a clean striking surface and prevents the tongue from shifting during play.
Final Check: Walk around a bit to ensure the fit is comfortable and secure, with no excessive pressure points.
These boots are specifically designed for Soft Ground (SG) pitches. The stud configuration is optimized for traction on wet, muddy, or natural grass surfaces.
Using SG boots on artificial turf (AG) or firm ground (FG) can lead to premature stud wear, discomfort, and potential injury. Always match your boot type to the playing surface.
Cleaning After Use: Immediately after each match or training session, wipe off any mud or dirt with a damp cloth. Use a soft brush for stubborn grime on the upper.
Stud Cleaning: Carefully remove any mud or debris from between the studs using a non-abrasive tool.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, or artificial heat sources, as these can damage the materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place. Using boot trees or stuffing them with newspaper can help maintain their shape.
Lacquer Finish: Please note that the lacquer finish on the soleplate may wear off during play. This is a normal aesthetic occurrence and will not affect the performance or durability of the product.
Material Care: For the HybridTouch upper, avoid harsh chemicals. A mild soap solution and a soft cloth are usually sufficient for cleaning.
