Designed for young football players eager to dominate the pitch, the adidas Predator Elite Tongue FG football boots deliver enhanced precision, control, and responsiveness for striking goals. With an improved HybridTouch upper, refined Strikeskin elements, and a stable ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate, these boots empower players to perform at their best on firm ground. A key point to note is that the lacquer finish on the bottom of the boot may wear off during play, which is normal and does not affect performance.

The adidas Predator Elite Tongue FG boots are engineered for young players who demand precision and control on firm ground pitches. The HybridTouch upper provides a soft, comfortable feel on the ball, enabling a natural touch. Combined with the Strikeskin rubber fins and pronounced touch grooves, players will experience enhanced grip and responsiveness, making it easier to bend shots, deliver precise passes, and control the ball in tight spaces. The enlarged foldover tongue contributes to a cleaner strike zone and a more integrated feel with the boot, reducing distractions during play.
The ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate is a critical component for on-field performance. Its multidirectional traction allows for quick changes of direction, explosive acceleration, and stable planting for powerful shots. The ergonomic external heel counter adds stability, securing the foot during dynamic movements. These boots are ideal for attacking players and midfielders who rely on accurate passing, powerful shooting, and agile movement to influence the game on firm, natural grass surfaces. While the lacquer on the soleplate may wear, this does not impede the boot's functional grip or stability.
Setup:
Unboxing: Carefully remove boots from packaging.
Lacing: Loosen the laces, insert your foot, and tighten them to achieve a snug, comfortable fit. The lace closure allows for personalized adjustments.
Break-in Period: Like all new football boots, these may require a short break-in period. Wear them during light training sessions before competitive matches to allow the materials to mold to your foot.
Compatibility:
Playing Surface: These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches, which are natural grass surfaces that are firm and not waterlogged. Using them on artificial turf (AG) or soft ground (SG) may cause premature wear to the soleplate and studs, and could compromise performance or safety.
Age Group: Designed for kids.
Care Instructions:
Cleaning After Use: Immediately after play, remove any mud or debris from the upper and soleplate using a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight) as this can damage the materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with boot trees or crumpled newspaper inside to help maintain their shape and absorb any residual moisture.
Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your boots, as this can damage the materials and construction.
Soleplate Lacquer: Please note that the lacquer finish on the bottom of the boot's soleplate is designed to wear off during play. This is a normal cosmetic effect and will not affect the performance, durability, or grip of the product.
