adidas Predator Elite Tongue SG - Grey - 8

These adidas Predator Elite Tongue SG boots are specifically engineered for Soft Ground (SG) pitches. This means wet, muddy, or natural grass fields where longer, often removable, studs are required for optimal traction.

After each use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush. Wipe the boots clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat.

The HybridTouch 2.0 upper, made from synthetic suede and foil, provides a very soft and cushioned touch on the ball. It also offers a structured fit, enhancing comfort and support during intense play.

Yes, the foldover tongue integrates seamlessly to create a larger, cleaner striking surface. This helps players achieve more consistent ball contact, leading to greater precision and swerve on shots and passes.

Yes, it is entirely normal. The lacquer finish on the ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate is aesthetic and is expected to wear off with use. This does not affect the boot's performance, durability, or traction.

These boots feature a 'regular fit.' While they adapt well to most foot shapes, players with particularly wide feet might find them snug. It's always recommended to try them on to ensure a comfortable fit.

The Strikeskin rubber fins are strategically placed on the forefoot and tongue to enhance grip on the ball. This allows for superior precision, control, and the ability to add more spin or swerve to your strikes and passes.

Ensure you have the correct size. The boots have a 'regular fit,' so if you have wider feet, they might feel snug. Try adjusting the lacing to relieve pressure points. Breaking them in over a few shorter sessions can also help the materials mold to your foot.

Check if the studs are clean and free from mud or debris. Ensure the ground conditions are genuinely 'soft ground' as the SG soleplate is specialized. If the ground is firmer, an FG (Firm Ground) boot might be more appropriate. Also, inspect studs for wear or damage.

This is a normal characteristic of the product. The lacquer finish is purely cosmetic and designed to wear off during play. It does not indicate a fault or affect the boot's performance, traction, or durability.
