The adidas Predator Elite Soft Ground boots are engineered to maximize your performance on specific playing conditions: wet, muddy, or soft natural grass pitches. The HybridTouch upper provides a responsive and tactile feel, allowing for intricate dribbling and controlled passes even in challenging weather. The rubber Strikeskin fins are a game-changer for shooting and passing, enabling you to add swerve and precision to your efforts, making it easier to hit your targets.
On the pitch, the ControlFrame 2.0 outsole is where these boots truly shine. Its configuration of screw-in studs digs deep into the soft ground, preventing slips and ensuring you maintain powerful pushes and explosive changes of direction. This superior traction is crucial for maintaining balance during tackles, accelerating past defenders, and planting your foot firmly for powerful shots.
The PRIMEKNIT collar contributes significantly to overall comfort and support, adapting to your foot's shape and reducing irritation, especially during extended play. The fold-over tongue offers a clean striking zone, ensuring nothing interferes with your connection to the ball. These boots are ideal for midfielders, attackers, and defenders alike who need to command the game and execute plays with confidence on soft pitches. Avoid using these boots on hard ground or artificial surfaces, as it can damage the studs and negatively impact your balance and the boot's longevity.
Lacing: Loosen the laces adequately before putting on the boots. Slide your foot in, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated at the back.
Tongue Adjustment: Position the fold-over tongue cleanly over your laces. The fold should sit neatly, providing a smooth surface for ball contact.
Tighten Laces: Starting from the bottom, progressively tighten the laces, ensuring a snug fit around your midfoot and ankle without being overly constrictive. Double-knot for security.
Initial Wear: Wear the boots for short periods during training sessions to break them in gradually. This helps the materials conform to your foot shape.
Playing Surface: Exclusively designed for Soft Ground (SG) football pitches (wet, muddy natural grass).
Player: Suitable for adult, unisex players.
Sizing: Available in UK adult sizes, including UK 9 for this variant. Ensure you select your correct size for optimal performance and comfort.
Cleaning After Use: Immediately after each match or training session, remove excess mud and dirt using a soft brush or by gently rinsing under cold water. Avoid hot water, as it can damage materials.
Wipe Down: Use a damp cloth to wipe the entire upper clean. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly.
Drying: Never use direct heat (e.g., radiators, hairdryers) to dry your boots, as this can cause the materials to crack or shrink. Instead, stuff the boots with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape, then air dry them at room temperature.
Stud Maintenance: Regularly check the screw-in studs. Tighten any loose studs with a stud wrench. Replace any worn or damaged studs promptly to maintain optimal traction and safety.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight. Using a boot bag can help protect them during transport.
