The adidas Predator Elite FG Football Boots are designed for young football players seeking enhanced precision and control on firm ground. These boots offer superior responsiveness through features like the HybridTouch upper and Strikeskin fins, helping aspiring athletes strike at will. While the sole's lacquer finish may wear during play, this is normal and does not impact the boot's performance.
HybridTouch Upper: A next-gen synthetic suede and foil combination engineered for lightweight comfort and optimal support, allowing for natural movement and feel.
Strikeskin Grip Elements: Refined rubber fins strategically placed on the upper to provide increased purchase on the ball, resulting in greater precision and swerve for shots and passes.
Pronounced Touch Grooves: Designed to offer superior responsiveness and control, these grooves enhance your ability to manipulate the ball with confidence.
adidas Primeknit Collar: A flexible and adaptive collar that provides a snug, sock-like fit around the ankle for enhanced comfort and lockdown during dynamic movements.
ControlFrame 2.0 Soleplate: An advanced soleplate offering a match-winning combination of agility, speed, and stability with multi-directional traction for firm ground surfaces.
Lace Closure: Traditional lacing system allows for a secure and customizable fit, ensuring the boot stays firmly in place throughout the game.

The adidas Predator Elite FG boots are engineered to maximize a player's impact in attacking plays. The HybridTouch upper provides a close, comfortable feel, almost like a second skin, which is crucial for quick touches and dribbling.
The standout Strikeskin rubber fins truly enhance striking power and accuracy. When shooting, these fins grip the ball, allowing for greater spin and precision, making it easier to curl shots or hit targets with power. For example, when attempting a long-range shot, the added purchase can help generate significant swerve.
Pronounced touch grooves on the upper work in tandem with Strikeskin to give you excellent control. This means when receiving a pass or dribbling in tight spaces, the ball feels securely connected to your foot, allowing for responsive changes in direction and quick passes.
Underfoot, the ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate is key for dynamic movements. Its multi-directional traction ensures you maintain grip during explosive sprints, sharp cuts, and sudden stops on firm natural grass pitches. This soleplate delivers the stability needed for confident play, even when rapidly changing pace or direction to outmaneuver opponents.
Lacing: Ensure boots are laced securely but not overly tight. Adjust the laces to achieve a snug fit that prevents your foot from sliding inside the boot, especially around the midfoot and heel.
Break-In Period: Like most high-performance football boots, these may require a short break-in period. Wear them for light training sessions before a full match to allow them to mold to your foot shape comfortably.
Pitch Type: These boots are designed exclusively for Firm Ground (FG) pitches. This typically refers to natural grass fields that are relatively dry and firm. Using them on artificial turf (AG) or soft ground (SG) may damage the boots and reduce performance, as the stud configuration is optimized for FG.
Fit: The Primeknit collar offers an adaptive, sock-like fit. Ensure you select the correct size, as an ill-fitting boot can lead to discomfort and reduced performance. These are specifically for kids, so ensure sizing corresponds to children's UK sizes.
Cleaning: After each use, wipe off any mud or dirt with a damp cloth. For tougher grime, use a soft brush and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals as they can damage the HybridTouch material.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can cause the materials to crack or stiffen. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place. Using a boot bag can protect them from scratches and dust.
Soleplate Lacquer: Please be aware that the lacquer finish on the bottom of the ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate is designed to wear off during play. This is a normal cosmetic change and will not affect the performance or durability of the boot. No special care is needed for this.
