Designed for football players who demand superior control and precision on the pitch, the adidas Predator Pro Tongue FG football boots are engineered to enhance your striking and ball manipulation. Featuring an improved HybridTouch upper with Strikeskin grip elements and a refined foldover tongue, these boots deliver an integrated fit and exceptional responsiveness. While excelling on firm ground surfaces, their specialized design means they are not optimized for other pitch types.

The adidas Predator Pro Tongue FG boots are engineered for players who want to dominate the game through precision and control, echoing the playstyle of endorsed athletes like Jude Bellingham and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Striking and Finishing: The combination of Strikeskin grip elements and pronounced touch grooves on the upper dramatically improves your ability to strike the ball with accuracy and power. You'll notice enhanced swerve on curved shots and a more consistent connection for direct strikes. This allows for greater confidence when aiming for the top corner or setting up teammates.
Ball Control and Dribbling: The HybridTouch upper offers a soft, pliable feel that molds to your foot, providing excellent touch on the ball. Paired with the touch grooves, this translates to superior ball manipulation, whether you're dribbling at speed or maintaining close control in tight spaces. The integrated feel of the foldover tongue further enhances this connection.
Agility and Traction: The ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate is specifically designed for firm ground, providing reliable multidirectional traction. This means you can make sharp cuts, accelerate, and decelerate with confidence without losing grip, crucial for quick changes of direction and explosive movements during a match.
Comfort and Support: Despite their performance-driven features, the HybridTouch material ensures a lightweight and comfortable fit, reducing fatigue over 90 minutes. The secure fit provided by the tongue and lacing system ensures your foot remains stable within the boot, minimizing slippage and maximizing energy transfer.
These boots are ideal for players in attacking and midfield positions who are regularly involved in shooting, passing, and intricate ball work, where precision and control are paramount.
Lacing: Unlace the boots fully. Insert your foot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated at the back. Pull the laces taut from the bottom eyelets upwards, ensuring an even, snug fit without excessive pressure points.
Tongue Adjustment: The foldover tongue with strap should be positioned to sit flush over your laces, providing a clean strike zone. Secure the strap if present to maintain its position throughout play.
Break-In: Like all new football boots, these may require a short break-in period. Start by wearing them for lighter training sessions before full-intensity matches to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
Pitch Type: These boots are exclusively designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches. This includes natural grass pitches that are firm and dry, or slightly damp. The stud configuration is optimized for this surface, providing the best grip and preventing stud pressure.
Avoid Other Surfaces: Do not use these boots on artificial grass (AG), soft ground (SG), or indoor (IC) surfaces. Using FG boots on AG can cause excessive wear to both the boots and the pitch, and may lead to injury due to inappropriate traction. On SG, they will lack grip, and on indoor surfaces, they will damage the playing area.
Cleaning After Use: After each use, wipe off excess mud and dirt using a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a soft brush.
Air Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
Stuffing: To help maintain their shape and absorb moisture, you can stuff the boots with newspaper or a boot tree after cleaning.
Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. A boot bag can help protect them.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the HybridTouch upper and other components.
