The adidas Predator Elite Fold-Over Tongue boots are engineered for players who demand precision and control in challenging soft ground conditions. The HybridTouch upper gives you an immediate, responsive feel for the ball, making dribbling and close control seamless, even when the pitch is wet. The Strikeskin fins are particularly effective when taking shots or delivering crosses, allowing for extra grip on the ball that can translate into swerve and accuracy.
On the pitch, the ControlFrame 2.0 soft ground outsole truly shines. When playing on wet, muddy, or deeply grassed pitches, the screw-in studs dig in deeply, preventing slips and allowing for explosive push-offs and sharp changes of direction. This is crucial for wingers making runs, midfielders dictating play, or defenders making crucial tackles. The PRIMEKNIT collar ensures that the boot moves as one with your foot, reducing slippage inside the boot and providing ankle support for quick turns and jumps. These boots are perfect for competitive matches where every touch and every step counts, especially when the weather conditions are less than ideal.
First Wear: It's advisable to break in your new boots during a light training session before a competitive match. This helps the PRIMEKNIT collar and HybridTouch upper mold to your foot.
Lacing: Ensure laces are securely tied to utilize the full support of the PRIMEKNIT collar and fold-over tongue.
Stud Check: Before each use, inspect the screw-in studs to ensure they are tight. Carry a stud wrench for any adjustments if needed.
Playing Surface: These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches. This includes natural grass fields that are wet, muddy, or otherwise soft.
Incompatibility: They are not recommended for firm ground (FG), artificial grass (AG), or indoor (IC) surfaces, as this can damage the studs, cause discomfort, or reduce performance.
Immediate Cleaning: After each use, especially on muddy pitches, clean your boots promptly. Remove excess mud and dirt with a soft brush or cloth.
Stud Cleaning: Pay attention to cleaning around the screw-in studs to prevent mud buildup that can affect traction and stud integrity.
Washing: Use lukewarm water and a mild soap for thorough cleaning. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as this can damage the materials. Stuff with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place. Using a boot bag can protect them during transport.
Stud Replacement: Periodically check for worn or damaged studs and replace them as needed to maintain optimal traction and safety. Replacement studs are available separately. Refer to product instructions for specific care recommendations.
