The adidas Kids Predator Elite Tongue SG football boots are engineered to help young players dominate on soft ground pitches. The HybridTouch upper provides a soft, responsive feel, allowing for excellent touch on the ball, crucial for developing skills. The Strikeskin rubber fins are a standout feature, enabling players to put more spin and power into their shots, leading to greater precision and swerve when aiming for the goal. This means more effective long passes and shots that challenge the goalkeeper.
The foldover tongue with strap ensures a clean striking surface and a secure fit, minimizing distractions during intense play. Combined with the adidas Primeknit collar, it offers a comfortable, locked-in feel that supports quick changes in direction. The ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate is specifically designed for soft, natural surfaces, providing aggressive multidirectional traction. This allows for explosive acceleration, sharp cuts, and stable footing, essential for maintaining balance and agility in muddy or wet conditions. Young players will find these boots help them maintain control in crucial moments, whether dribbling through defenders or delivering a pinpoint pass. Remember that these boots are optimized for soft ground conditions; using them on harder surfaces may impact performance and durability.
Lace Closure: Ensure laces are tightened evenly for a snug, comfortable fit across the foot.
Tongue Adjustment: Position the foldover tongue neatly and secure the strap to maintain its position, providing a clean striking surface.
Break-In Period: Like most football boots, a short break-in period during light training sessions is recommended to allow the boots to mold to the player's feet.
Surface Type: These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches. They are equipped with metal-tipped studs for optimal grip on natural grass that is wet or muddy.
Size-Specific Studs: Please note that smaller junior sizes (UK 2.5 and below) come with six metal-tipped studs only. Larger junior sizes (UK 3 and above) feature the additional, molded plastic studs as pictured.
Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and mud using a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not force dry them with direct heat (e.g., radiators, hairdryers), as this can damage the materials.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, ideally with newspaper stuffed inside to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
Soleplate Lacquer: Be aware that the lacquer finish on the bottom of the soleplate may wear off during play. This is a cosmetic characteristic and does not affect the performance or durability of the product.
