These adidas Predator Elite Soft Ground boots are built for junior players who want to dominate on natural grass pitches, especially when conditions are wet or muddy. The HybridTouch 2.0 upper provides a supple feel, allowing for a close connection with the ball, essential for developing touch and control. When it comes to shooting or passing, the Strikeskin fins come into play, offering a 'biting' grip on the ball. This means junior players can confidently put spin, swerve, or power into their shots with increased precision.
The Controlframe 2.0 outsole is the heart of its soft ground performance. Its stud configuration is designed to dig into loose or wet surfaces, preventing slips and allowing for quick changes in direction without loss of balance. This is crucial for maintaining agility and speed during matches. The PRIMEKNIT collar ensures a secure, locked-down fit around the ankle, which is vital for preventing movement inside the boot during dynamic play, reducing the risk of discomfort or blisters. These boots empower young players to perform at their best, focusing on their game rather than their footing, especially when the pitch challenges them.
Lacing: Loosen the laces sufficiently to easily slide your foot into the boot. The PRIMEKNIT collar is designed for a snug fit, so a gentle pull may be needed.
Fit: Ensure your heel is comfortably seated at the back of the boot. Your toes should have a small amount of space at the front, but not enough for your foot to slide excessively.
Tighten: Begin tightening the laces from the bottom upwards, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit across your foot. Avoid over-tightening, which can cause discomfort.
Knot: Secure with a double knot to prevent laces from coming undone during play.
These boots are specifically designed for Soft Ground (SG) pitches. This includes natural grass surfaces that are wet, muddy, or require maximum traction from longer, often removable, studs. They are not recommended for firm ground (FG), artificial grass (AG), or indoor surfaces, as this can damage the studs and compromise performance and safety.
Cleaning: After each use, especially on muddy pitches, use a soft brush or old toothbrush to gently remove excess mud and debris from the upper and soleplate. Wipe the entire boot with a damp cloth.
Drying: Air dry your boots naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or tumble dryers). Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in a damp kit bag for extended periods, as this can lead to odor and material degradation.
Label Instructions: Always refer to the specific product label inside the boot for any additional or unique care instructions.
