Your adidas Predator Elite Soft Ground (SG) Football Boots are engineered to help you dominate on pitches where the grass is natural and soft, often damp or muddy. The HybridTouch upper provides a responsive feel, letting you dictate the pace and direction of the ball with confidence. When it comes to striking, the rubber Strikeskin fins are designed to give you that extra bite on the ball, enabling you to put more spin and power into your shots and deliver precise passes.
The ControlFrame 2.0 SG outsole is your foundation for aggressive play. Its configuration of screw-in studs bites into the soft turf, ensuring you maintain optimal traction during explosive sprints, sharp turns, and sudden stops. This stability translates to quick changes of direction and a strong base for powerful kicks, even in challenging conditions. The PRIMEKNIT collar provides a seamless, secure connection between your foot and the boot, minimizing slippage and maximizing comfort throughout the game.
These boots are ideal for competitive match play on natural, soft pitches where grip is paramount. They allow players to perform at their best, offering the control and stability needed to influence the game from any position.
Lacing: Ensure your boots are laced securely but not overly tight. Start from the bottom eyelets and work your way up, making sure the tongue is centered. A snug fit prevents foot movement inside the boot and enhances control.
Socks: Wear your preferred football socks. The PRIMEKNIT collar is designed to integrate seamlessly with your sock, providing a comfortable and supportive fit.
Break-in: Like most high-performance boots, a short break-in period is recommended. Wear them for a few light training sessions before a full match to allow the materials to mold to your foot.
These boots are exclusively designed for soft ground (SG) surfaces. This includes natural grass pitches that are soft, wet, or muddy. The screw-in studs provide the necessary penetration for grip in these conditions. They are not recommended for use on firm ground (FG), artificial grass (AG), or indoor courts, as this can damage the studs and outsole, and reduce performance.
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your Predator Elite SG boots:
Cleaning after use: Immediately after play, remove excess mud and dirt using a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing that could damage the Strikeskin fins or HybridTouch upper.
Stud Maintenance: Regularly check that the screw-in studs are tight. If any studs are worn or damaged, they can typically be replaced (refer to product instructions for compatible replacement studs).
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight). Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place. Using a boot bag can protect them from dust and scratches.
Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash or tumble dry your football boots, as this can severely damage materials and adhesives. Refer to the product instructions for specific care recommendations.
