The adidas Predator League Tongue SG boots are engineered to maximize your performance on soft, natural grass pitches. The HybridFeel upper molds to your foot, offering a comfortable and responsive fit that enhances your touch on the ball. When dribbling or receiving passes, you'll notice a natural, controlled sensation.
The standout feature for offensive players is the Strikescale grip elements. These raised sections on the upper provide exceptional friction between the boot and the ball, allowing for increased precision on shots and passes. You can confidently add swerve to your shots, place through-balls with accuracy, and maintain close control in tight spaces. The fold-over tongue not only provides a clean striking surface by covering the laces but also contributes to a snug, integrated feel.
Underfoot, the ControlPlate 2.0 soleplate with its removable studs is crucial for stability and agility on soft ground. Whether you're making quick cuts, accelerating, or changing direction on a muddy pitch, the multidirectional traction ensures you maintain your footing. This allows you to focus on your game without worrying about slipping, giving you the confidence to strike at will and make decisive moves. These boots are ideal for players who want to dominate the midfield, deliver pin-point passes, or score clinical goals, especially when playing on challenging soft ground conditions.
Lacing: Ensure the boots are laced securely but comfortably. The traditional lace closure allows for a customizable fit.
Stud Adjustment (if needed): These boots come with removable studs. Before your first use, ensure all studs are firmly tightened. Regularly check and re-tighten studs as they can loosen during play. Replacement studs can be purchased if needed.
Playing Surface: These boots are exclusively designed for Soft Ground (SG) pitches. This includes natural grass fields that are wet, muddy, or require longer studs for grip. They are not recommended for firm ground (FG), artificial grass (AG), or indoor (IC) surfaces, as this can damage the boots and increase the risk of injury.
Fit: The boots feature a regular fit and are designed for adult players.
Unisex Design: Suitable for all genders.
Immediate Cleaning: After each use, especially on muddy pitches, clean your boots promptly. Remove excess mud and debris using a soft brush or a damp cloth.
Stubborn Dirt: For more stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the synthetic materials.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do NOT dry them near direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, fireplaces) or in direct sunlight, as this can cause the materials to crack or stiffen.
Stud Care: Periodically check the studs for wear and tear. Replace any worn or damaged studs to maintain optimal traction.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag, to protect them from dust and damage.
