The adidas Predator Pro Fold-Over Tongue boots are engineered for players who demand precision and power in their game, particularly when it comes to striking the ball. The Strikeskin fins on the HybridTouch upper provide an almost magnetic feel, allowing for exceptional ball manipulation and the ability to add significant swerve or power to shots. Imagine curling a free-kick with pinpoint accuracy or driving a long-range shot with maximum velocity – these fins are designed to facilitate that.
On firm ground pitches, the Controlplate outsole comes into its own. It offers a stable platform for quick changes of direction, explosive sprints, and solid footing during powerful strikes. This means you can plant your foot firmly for a shot without fear of slipping, translating directly into more confident and effective play.
The fold-over tongue not only nods to classic football boot design but also provides a clean, uninterrupted surface area for striking, which many players find enhances their connection with the ball. These boots are ideal for midfielders and forwards who are heavily involved in playmaking, passing, and, crucially, scoring goals.
Setup:
Unboxing: Carefully remove your boots from the packaging.
First Wear: Put on your preferred football socks. Lace the boots up snugly, ensuring they feel secure but not uncomfortably tight. The fit should be snug, not loose, to maximize ball feel.
Break-in Period: It's recommended to wear the boots for a few light training sessions before a full match to allow the HybridTouch upper to mold to your foot shape. This helps prevent discomfort during intense play.
Compatibility:
Pitch Type: These boots are exclusively designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches. This refers to natural grass surfaces that are typically dry and firm. Using them on artificial grass (AG), soft ground (SG), or indoor surfaces is not recommended as it can compromise performance, increase the risk of injury, and potentially damage the boots.
Size: Ensure you select the correct UK adult foot size for optimal performance and comfort.
Care:
Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the boots with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For stubborn mud, a soft brush can be used carefully.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), as this can damage the materials.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place. Using boot trees can help maintain their shape.
