The adidas Predator League Tongue TF boots are engineered to elevate your game on artificial turf. The HybridFeel upper cradles your foot, offering a comfortable and supportive base for dynamic movements. When dribbling or passing, the pronounced touch grooves provide exceptional ball control, helping you maintain possession and execute precise plays. For shooting, the Strikescale grip elements on the upper ensure greater purchase on the ball, allowing for impressive precision and swerve, making every strike count. The foldover tongue not only secures the fit but also provides a clean surface for striking, removing any interference from laces. Underfoot, the Lightstrike midsole delivers a springy feel, absorbing impact and returning energy to keep you agile and quick throughout the match. Coupled with the aggressive rubber outsole, you'll experience reliable multi-directional traction, essential for quick cuts, sprints, and stable footing on turf pitches. These boots are specifically designed for players who demand superior control and a confident strike, making them ideal for competitive play on artificial surfaces.
Lacing: Begin by loosening the laces fully. Slip your foot into the boot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated at the back.
Tongue Adjustment: Unfold the larger tongue. Securely tie the laces, adjusting for a snug yet comfortable fit. Then, fold the tongue down over the laces, utilizing its strap (if present) to keep it in place, creating a clean strike surface.
Break-In: Like all new footwear, a short break-in period is recommended. Wear them during light training sessions before a full match to allow the HybridFeel upper to mold to your foot.
These boots are exclusively designed for artificial turf (TF) surfaces. The rubber outsole's aggressive grip pattern is optimized for this type of pitch.
Do not use these boots on natural grass, firm ground (FG), soft ground (SG), or indoor (IC) courts, as it can damage the boots and reduce performance and safety.
Cleaning After Use: After each use, wipe down the boots with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris from the HybridFeel upper and outsole. For stubborn mud, a soft brush can be used on the outsole.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use strong detergents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the synthetic materials.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators), which can cause the materials to crack or stiffen.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures. Consider using boot trees or stuffing them with newspaper to help maintain their shape.
Outsole Check: Regularly inspect the rubber outsole for wear and tear, especially the grip patterns, to ensure optimal performance and prevent slipping.
