Extended Product Information

The adidas Predator Elite Soft Ground Football Boots are built for performance on challenging natural grass pitches where moisture and mud are present. The HybridTouch upper provides a soft, adaptive feel, ensuring that your first touch and close control remain excellent even when the ball is wet. When it comes to striking, the rubber Strikeskin fins truly shine, offering an almost magnetic connection with the ball, allowing for precise placement, swerve, and powerful shots. The cornerstone of these boots' performance on soft ground is the ControlFrame 2.0 outsole. Its configuration of screw-in studs digs deep into the turf, preventing slips and enabling quick changes of direction, crucial for maintaining balance and explosive speed. The PRIMEKNIT collar works in tandem to keep your foot secure, minimizing movement inside the boot and maximizing energy transfer. These boots empower players to dictate the pace of the game, make decisive passes, and unleash unstoppable shots, making them ideal for midfielders and attackers who need superior control and precision in soft conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions ### Setup & First Use 1. Inspection: Before first wear, inspect all screw-in studs to ensure they are securely tightened. Loose studs can affect performance and safety. 2. Lacing: Ensure the boots are laced snugly but comfortably. The PRIMEKNIT collar provides a secure fit around the ankle. 3. Break-In: It's advisable to wear new boots for a few short sessions (e.g., training) before an intense match to allow them to adapt to your foot shape and minimize initial discomfort. ### Compatibility These adidas Predator Elite boots are exclusively designed for soft ground (SG) pitches. This means they are optimized for natural grass fields that are wet, muddy, or otherwise soft. - Do NOT use on firm ground (FG), artificial grass (AG), or indoor surfaces, as this can damage the boots, the playing surface, and potentially cause injury. ### Care & Maintenance 1. Clean After Every Use: Immediately after playing, knock off any large clumps of mud. Use a soft brush or cloth and lukewarm water to remove dirt from the upper and outsole. 2. Stud Care: Regularly check the screw-in studs. Tighten any loose studs and replace any that are worn down or damaged to maintain optimal traction. 3. Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or hairdryers), as this can damage the materials and adhesives. 4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with boot trees or crumpled paper inside to help maintain their shape. 5. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use strong detergents or chemicals, as they can degrade the materials and affect the boot's performance and longevity. Refer to the product's specific care instructions for any additional guidelines.
