The adidas Predator League Tongue SG football boots are built for players who dictate the game through precision and control, especially on natural soft ground pitches. The HybridFeel upper and Strikescale elements work in tandem to give you an exceptional feel for the ball, allowing for precise passing, powerful shots, and deceptive swerve. You'll notice the difference when striking the ball, as the refined surface provides more grip, translating to increased accuracy. The pronounced touch grooves further enhance ball control, making it easier to dribble, receive, and distribute the ball with confidence. The foldover tongue not only provides a clean striking surface but also contributes to a secure, integrated feel, ensuring the boot moves with your foot. Underfoot, the ControlPlate 2.0 soleplate with its specific stud configuration delivers multidirectional traction, crucial for quick changes of direction, explosive sprints, and stable footing on soft, muddy pitches. This soleplate is specifically engineered to prevent slippage and maximize grip in wet, natural grass conditions, allowing you to maintain agility and balance throughout the match. These boots are engineered to help you 'strike at will' and 'slot for fun' when playing on soft ground.
The boots feature a traditional lace closure system for a customizable fit.
Loosen Laces: Fully loosen the laces to comfortably slide your foot into the boot.
Adjust Tongue: Position the foldover tongue comfortably over the top of your foot. The strap helps secure it.
Tighten Laces: Starting from the toe, progressively tighten the laces, ensuring a snug yet comfortable fit without excessive pressure points.
Knot Laces: Tie a secure knot.
Pitch Type: These boots are specifically designed for Soft Ground (SG) pitches, which are typically natural grass fields that are wet or muddy. The studs are configured for maximum penetration and grip on such surfaces.
Fit: They feature a regular fit. If you typically require wide-fit footwear, these may feel snug. It's recommended to try them on to ensure optimal comfort.
Age Group: Designed for adult players.
Proper care extends the life and performance of your boots:
Immediate Cleaning: After each use, especially on soft ground, remove excess mud and debris from the upper and soleplate using a soft brush or cloth.
Wipe Down: Use a damp cloth to gently wipe the entire surface of the boots. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Air Dry: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage materials.
Avoid Submersion: Do not machine wash or fully submerge the boots in water.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
