The adidas Predator League Tongue SG boots are engineered to elevate your game on soft, natural grass pitches. The HybridFeel upper combined with Strikescale grip elements translates directly into tangible benefits for ball manipulation. When striking the ball, you'll notice improved connection and the ability to add more swerve and power to your shots. This is particularly useful for bending shots around defenders or delivering accurate crosses.
The pronounced touch grooves provide exceptional feel and control during dribbling and close-quarter passing. Players can maintain a tighter grip on the ball, allowing for quick changes in direction and precise distribution, even in tight spaces.
Underfoot, the ControlPlate 2.0 soleplate with its multidirectional traction is a game-changer on muddy or wet soft ground. It ensures maximum grip during acceleration, deceleration, and sharp turns, reducing slippage and allowing you to maintain speed and agility. This stability is crucial for explosive movements and quick transitions during a match.
The foldover tongue with strap not only provides a classic aesthetic but also ensures a clean striking surface and a more integrated, secure fit, preventing distractions during play. These boots are ideal for players who demand precision, control, and reliable traction in challenging soft ground conditions, enabling them to confidently take on defenders and find the back of the net.
Lacing: Ensure the laces are securely tied to provide a snug fit without being overly tight. Adjust the tension gradually, starting from the toe box upwards.
Tongue Position: Position the foldover tongue neatly over the laces. The strap should be secured to keep the tongue in place during play.
Break-in: Like most new football boots, a short break-in period is recommended. Wear them during light training sessions or for short periods before a full match to allow them to mold to your foot shape.
These boots are specifically designed for Soft Ground (SG) pitches. This means they are best suited for natural grass fields that are wet, muddy, or require longer, more penetrative studs for grip.
They are not recommended for use on Firm Ground (FG), Artificial Grass (AG), or indoor surfaces, as this can damage the soleplate and compromise performance and safety.
Immediate Cleaning: After each use, especially on muddy pitches, remove excess mud and debris from the upper and soleplate using a soft brush or damp cloth.
Stubborn Dirt: For more stubborn dirt, use mild soap and water. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive materials that could damage the synthetic HybridFeel upper.
Rinsing: Rinse off any soap residue thoroughly.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, or tumble dryers, as extreme heat can deform the materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place. Using a shoe tree or stuffing them with newspaper can help maintain their shape and absorb any residual moisture.
Stud Check: Regularly inspect the studs for wear and tear, especially if playing on particularly hard soft ground. Replace worn studs if applicable to ensure optimal traction.
