The adidas Predator Elite Fold-Over Tongue boots are designed to elevate a young player's game on natural grass.
Experience a responsive touch and a remarkably clean striking zone. The HybridTouch upper provides a soft, adaptive feel that conforms to the foot, while the fold-over tongue minimizes obstruction between your foot and the ball, promoting consistent contact. When striking the ball, the Strikeskin fins offer additional grip, translating to more accurate shots and passes.
Equipped with a dedicated Firm Ground (FG) outsole, these boots provide superior traction on natural grass pitches. This means less slippage during quick sprints, sharp turns, and sudden changes in direction, allowing young athletes to maintain stability and confidence throughout matches and training.
Constructed from durable synthetic materials, these boots are built to withstand the rigors of frequent use. They are a dependable choice for regular training sessions, school tournaments, and competitive matches, maintaining their performance and integrity over time.
These boots are perfect for young football players who regularly compete and train on well-maintained natural grass fields. They are particularly beneficial for those looking to refine their striking technique and enhance overall ball manipulation skills.
Unpack: Carefully remove the boots from their packaging.
Lacing: Loosen the laces sufficiently and slide your foot into the boot, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit. Pull the laces tight, working from the bottom up, and tie them securely.
Tongue Adjustment: Ensure the fold-over tongue is positioned correctly over the laces, covering them to create a clean striking surface. Some models may have a small elastic strap to secure the tongue.
Initial Wear (Break-in): It's recommended to wear the boots for short periods during light training sessions before a competitive match to allow them to break in and mold to the foot.
Playing Surface: These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches, which are natural grass surfaces. Using them on artificial turf (AG) or very soft/muddy ground (SG) may result in suboptimal performance or accelerated wear.
Age Group: Designed for Junior/Kids players.
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your football boots:
Immediate Cleaning: After each use, remove any loose dirt, mud, and grass from the upper and sole using a soft brush or damp cloth. This prevents build-up and material degradation.
Washing: For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution (like dish soap diluted in water) and a soft cloth to gently wipe down the synthetic upper. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive materials.
Drying: Always allow your boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never use direct heat sources such as radiators, tumble dryers, or direct sunlight, as this can cause materials to crack, shrink, or lose their shape.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. To help maintain their shape and absorb any residual moisture, you can stuff them with newspaper.
Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash your football boots, as this can damage the structural integrity, adhesives, and materials.
