Designed for young, aspiring footballers, the adidas Predator Elite Tongue SG boots empower players to enhance their precision, control, and goal-scoring ability on soft ground pitches. While offering advanced features for superior ball handling and comfort, users should note that the soleplate's lacquer finish is designed to wear off during play without impacting performance, and stud configurations vary slightly for smaller sizes.

The adidas Predator Elite Tongue SG football boots are engineered to maximize a young player's impact on soft, natural grass pitches. The combination of the HybridTouch upper with Strikeskin grip elements means every touch, pass, and shot benefits from enhanced purchase and precision. Imagine a young player cutting the ball with increased swerve from a corner kick or placing a shot with pinpoint accuracy – these features are designed to enable just that.
The enlarged foldover tongue and Primeknit collar contribute to a locked-in, comfortable feel, crucial for maintaining focus during intense moments. This integrated fit ensures the boot moves as an extension of the foot, crucial for agile movements and quick changes of direction.
On the field, the ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate shines on soft ground. Its multidirectional traction provides the grip needed for explosive acceleration, sharp turns, and stable footing when striking the ball. This allows players to confidently sprint, dribble, and shoot without fear of slipping, even in wet conditions. The enhanced touch grooves further boost responsiveness, giving players fine-tuned control over the ball whether they're dribbling through defenders or lining up a powerful strike. These boots are specifically designed to feed a player's 'hunger for goals,' providing the tools to convert chances into scores.
Lacing: These boots feature a traditional lace closure. Ensure the laces are tied securely for a regular, snug fit. Adjust tightness to your comfort level, ensuring your foot is stable without being constricted.
Initial Wear: Like most new football boots, a short break-in period may be beneficial. Wear them during light training sessions before a competitive match to allow them to adapt to your foot shape.
Pitch Type: The adidas Predator Elite Tongue SG boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches. This means natural grass fields that are typically wet or muddy. Using them on firm ground (FG), artificial grass (AG), or indoor surfaces will not provide optimal performance and may damage the studs.
Sizing: These are kids' sizes. Please refer to the UK sizing chart to ensure the correct fit. Note that sizes UK 2.5 and below feature six metal-tipped studs only, while sizes UK 3 and above have additional moulded plastic studs alongside the metal ones.
Cleaning After Use: After each use, gently wipe down the boots with a damp cloth to remove mud and dirt. Avoid using harsh cleaning agents or abrasive brushes as they can damage the HybridTouch material.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, heaters, direct sunlight) as this can cause the materials to crack or shrink.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Consider stuffing them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
Soleplate Lacquer: It is normal for the lacquer finish on the bottom of the soleplate to wear off during play. This is purely cosmetic and will not affect the boot's performance or durability.
