These adidas Kids Predator Elite Tongue SG boots are engineered for young players focused on scoring goals and dominating possession on soft, natural grass pitches. The HybridTouch upper provides a soft, glove-like fit, allowing for a natural feel when dribbling and passing. The standout Strikeskin rubber fins are strategically placed to give players an advantage when striking the ball, enabling them to generate greater precision and powerful swerve shots. This means cleaner strikes and more accurate passes, especially crucial in tight game situations.
The foldover tongue not only offers a classic aesthetic but also provides a clean, uninterrupted striking surface, which can be particularly beneficial for developing accuracy. Coupled with the more pronounced touch grooves, players will experience superior responsiveness, allowing for quicker adjustments and better control during fast-paced play. The ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate provides the necessary grip and stability on soft ground, preventing slips and allowing for quick cuts and explosive acceleration, which is vital for agile movement around opponents. Endorsed by professional players like Jude Bellingham, these boots are built to support the aggressive, goal-oriented play style of budding football stars.
Lacing: Loosen the laces completely before putting the boots on. Ensure your foot is comfortably seated in the boot.
Tongue Adjustment: Fold the large tongue down over the laces, securing it with the strap provided. This creates a clean striking surface and helps keep laces tucked away.
Tightening: Tighten the laces evenly, starting from the toe box up to the ankle, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit. The Primeknit collar should feel supportive around your ankle.
Surface: These boots are specifically designed for Soft Ground (SG) pitches. This means wet, muddy, or natural grass surfaces where longer, metal-tipped studs are needed for traction. Using them on artificial turf (AG) or firm ground (FG) can damage the boots and increase the risk of injury.
Sizing: These are kids' boots. Refer to the UK sizing for children's footwear. Note that sizes 2.5 UK and below feature a soleplate with six metal-tipped studs only, while larger sizes (3 UK and above) include additional moulded plastic studs as pictured.
Cleaning After Use: After each use, remove any mud or debris from the boots, especially from the studs and soleplate. A soft brush and water are usually sufficient. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not force dry with heat sources, as this can damage the materials.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using a boot bag to protect them.
Lacquer Note: The lacquer finish on the bottom of the soleplate may wear off during play. This is a cosmetic feature and will not affect the performance or durability of the product.
Material Care: The HybridTouch synthetic suede can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Avoid excessive scrubbing to preserve the Strikeskin elements.
