Strikeskin Rubber Fins: Strategically placed rubber elements on the upper provide enhanced grip and purchase on the ball, leading to greater precision and increased swerve for shots and passes.
Enlarged Foldover Tongue with Strap: This slightly larger tongue design integrates seamlessly with the boot's fit, offering a clean striking surface and a secure, comfortable feel.
Pronounced Touch Grooves: Integrated into the upper, these grooves deliver superior responsiveness and control, helping you manipulate the ball with confidence before taking a shot.

The adidas Predator Elite Tongue SG football boots are engineered to give you a decisive edge in critical moments on soft ground pitches.
Unleash Precision Strikes: The Strikeskin rubber fins and pronounced touch grooves on the HybridTouch upper work in tandem. When striking the ball, these elements provide an exceptional amount of grip, allowing you to generate more power and place your shots with pinpoint accuracy. This means curled shots into the top corner or perfectly weighted through-balls become more achievable.
Superior Ball Manipulation: Whether you're dribbling through tight spaces or controlling a difficult pass, the combination of the HybridTouch upper and touch grooves offers a sensitive and responsive feel. This enhances your ability to keep the ball close and dictate play.
Comfort and Integrated Fit: The HybridTouch upper provides a lightweight yet supportive feel, conforming to your foot for natural movement. The Primeknit collar delivers a snug, sock-like fit around the ankle, while the enlarged foldover tongue creates a clean striking zone and helps secure the foot within the boot, minimizing distractions.
Aggressive Soft Ground Traction: The ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate with its strategically placed studs ensures optimal traction on wet and muddy surfaces. This multidirectional grip allows for rapid changes of direction, explosive acceleration, and stable footing, crucial for maintaining balance during tackles or powerful shots. For example, when making a quick turn to beat a defender on a heavy pitch, the studs will dig in reliably, preventing slips.
Lacing: Utilize the lace closure system to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. Start from the bottom eyelets and work your way up, ensuring even tension across your foot. The foldover tongue should be secured over the laces.
Break-in Period: While designed for immediate comfort, a short break-in period during light training sessions is recommended to allow the HybridTouch upper and Primeknit collar to fully mold to your foot.
Pitch Type: These boots are strictly designed for Soft Ground (SG) pitches. This includes natural grass fields that are wet, muddy, or generally soft.
Avoid Other Surfaces: Using SG boots on firm ground (FG), artificial grass (AG), or indoor (IC) surfaces can damage the soleplate, compromise traction, and potentially lead to injury.
Size: Ensure you select the correct UK size for optimal performance and comfort. This specific model is UK 3.5.
Cleaning After Use: Immediately after playing, wipe down the boots with a damp cloth to remove mud and debris. Pay attention to the soleplate and the Strikeskin fins.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place. Using a boot bag can help protect them.
Lacquer Wear: It is normal for the lacquer finish on the bottom of the ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate to wear off during play. This is a cosmetic effect and will not affect the performance or durability of the product.
