The adidas Predator Elite FG boots are engineered for players who want to make every touch count. The combination of the HybridTouch upper and Strikeskin grip elements means you'll feel every part of the ball, allowing for incredible control during dribbling and passing. When it comes to shooting, the refined Strikeskin provides that extra 'purchase,' enabling you to add more swerve to your shots or strike with pinpoint accuracy. Imagine bending a free-kick around the wall or placing a shot perfectly into the top corner—these boots are designed to help you achieve that.
The ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate is your foundation for dynamic play. Its multidirectional traction ensures you can accelerate quickly, make sharp cuts, and maintain stability during powerful strikes or sudden changes in direction. This is crucial for outpacing defenders or reacting swiftly to a loose ball. The Primeknit collar offers a seamless connection between your leg and foot, providing a supportive yet flexible fit that moves with you, minimizing distractions during intense play. These boots are built for those match-winning moments, offering the feel and control needed to execute your game plan effectively on firm natural grass pitches.
Lacing: Loosen the laces sufficiently before putting on the boots. Slide your foot in, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated at the back.
Fit Check: The boots should feel snug but not uncomfortably tight. Your toes should be close to the end, but not jammed against it. The Primeknit collar will adapt to your ankle for a secure fit.
Secure Lacing: Start lacing from the bottom, pulling each section firm before moving to the next. Ensure an even tension across the foot to prevent pressure points and provide optimal lockdown.
Break-in: Like most performance footwear, these boots may benefit from a short break-in period during light training sessions before competitive matches. This allows the materials to mold to your foot shape.
Firm Ground (FG): These boots are designed exclusively for use on natural grass pitches that are firm and dry. The stud configuration of the ControlFrame 2.0 is optimized for this surface, providing maximum traction and reducing the risk of injury. Using them on artificial turf (AG), soft ground (SG), or indoor surfaces can damage the boots and compromise your stability.
Cleaning: After each use, especially on muddy pitches, remove excess dirt using a soft brush or damp cloth. For the HybridTouch (synthetic suede) upper, avoid harsh chemicals. A mild soap solution and a soft cloth can be used. Gently wipe the Strikeskin elements to maintain their grip.
Drying: Never dry your boots with direct heat (e.g., radiators, hairdryers) as this can damage the materials. Stuff them with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry at room temperature.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Consider using a boot bag to protect them during transport.
Stud Inspection: Regularly check the studs on the ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate for wear or damage. While designed for durability, excessive wear can impact performance and safety.
