The adidas Kids Predator Elite Tongue SG football boots are specifically engineered to elevate a young player's performance on soft ground (SG) pitches. The HybridTouch upper provides a lightweight yet supportive feel, allowing for natural movement and excellent ball feel. This translates into confident dribbling and accurate passes.
When it comes to striking the ball, the Strikeskin rubber fins and pronounced touch grooves are crucial. They create extra grip on the ball, enabling players to execute precise shots, generate powerful swerve, and maintain control in challenging situations. This innovative design assists young athletes in consistently hitting their targets and finding the back of the net.
For fit and stability, the foldover tongue with strap and adidas Primeknit collar work in harmony to deliver a snug, integrated feel around the foot and ankle. This locked-down sensation ensures maximum energy transfer and prevents distractions during intense play. Underfoot, the ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate provides exceptional multidirectional traction. Its studs dig effectively into soft, wet pitches, offering explosive acceleration, rapid changes of direction, and reliable stability during tackles or powerful shots. These features make the boots ideal for young players who need to maintain their balance and agility while dominating the game.
Lacing: Begin by fully loosening the laces. Gently slide your foot into the boot, ensuring your heel is firmly seated at the back.
Tongue Adjustment: Position the foldover tongue comfortably over the top of your foot. Use the integrated strap to secure it, ensuring a snug and integrated feel.
Secure Fit: Starting from the toe, progressively tighten the laces, ensuring an even and secure fit across your foot without overtightening. Double knot the laces to prevent them from coming undone during play.
Break-In Period: To achieve optimal comfort and allow the materials to mold to your foot shape, wear the boots during a few light training sessions before competitive matches.
Playing Surface: These boots are exclusively designed for Soft Ground (SG) pitches. This includes natural grass fields that are wet, muddy, or soft, where metal studs can properly penetrate the surface for maximum traction. Using them on firm ground (FG) or artificial grass (AG) can lead to accelerated wear, damage to the soleplate, and a higher risk of injury.
Size-Specific Studs: Please be aware that junior sizes UK 2.5 and below feature only six metal-tipped studs. Larger sizes, UK 3 and above, are equipped with additional moulded plastic studs as depicted in product images. This variation is intentional for age and size-appropriate performance.
Cleaning: After each use, remove any loose mud or dirt using a soft brush or a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools, as these can damage the boot materials.
Drying: Always allow your boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never expose them to direct heat sources such as radiators, hair dryers, or direct sunlight, as this can cause the materials to crack or shrink. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Soleplate Lacquer: The lacquer finish on the soleplate is designed to wear off over time with play. This is a normal process and does not impact the boot's performance or durability.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to prolong their lifespan.
