The adidas Predator Elite Tongue SG boots are engineered to elevate performance, especially for attacking players and midfielders who demand precision and control in challenging conditions. On a soft, natural grass pitch, the Strikeskin grip elements provide exceptional contact with the ball, allowing for pinpoint passes, powerful shots with added swerve, and confident dribbling even in wet conditions. The ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate with its specialized stud configuration ensures players maintain maximum traction during explosive sprints, quick changes of direction, and stable footing for shooting from any angle. The HybridTouch upper molds to the foot, offering a comfortable yet responsive feel, while the foldover tongue enhances the locked-in sensation, crucial for maintaining focus during intense match play. Players will notice an immediate difference in their ability to manipulate the ball, making these boots ideal for those who aim to dictate play, deliver dangerous crosses, or convert scoring opportunities with clinical accuracy. Remember, these boots are specifically designed for optimal performance on soft ground (SG) pitches, providing the necessary grip on muddy or wet surfaces.
Prepare the Boots: Begin by loosening the laces fully to create ample space for your foot.
Insert Foot: Slide your foot into the boot, ensuring the adidas Primeknit collar comfortably wraps around your ankle. Take care not to force your foot.
Adjust Tongue: Position the foldover tongue flat and centered against the top of your foot. The integrated strap helps to secure it in place.
Lace Up: Starting from the bottom eyelets, progressively tighten the laces, working your way up. Ensure a snug but not overly restrictive fit that allows for natural foot movement. Double-knot the laces for security during play.
Playing Surface: These boots are exclusively designed for Soft Ground (SG) pitches. This includes wet, muddy, or very soft natural grass surfaces. The specialized stud configuration provides optimal penetration and grip in these conditions.
Avoid Other Surfaces: Using these SG boots on firm ground (FG) or artificial grass (AG) is not recommended. It can lead to insufficient grip, potential damage to the boots and playing surface, and an increased risk of player injury.
Post-Match Cleaning: Immediately after use, remove any large clumps of mud or debris from the soleplate and upper using a soft brush or blunt tool.
Wipe Down: Gently wipe the HybridTouch upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. For stubborn stains, a small amount of mild soap can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials which can damage the boot.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never expose them to direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (e.g., radiators, hairdryers), as this can cause the materials to crack or shrink.
Maintain Shape: To help absorb moisture and maintain the boot's shape, stuff the boots with newspaper or use a boot tree while they dry.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place, ideally in a breathable boot bag to protect them from dust and potential damage.
Soleplate Lacquer: Please note that the lacquer finish on the bottom of the soleplate may wear off during play. This is a normal cosmetic occurrence and will not affect the performance or durability of the product.
