The adidas Predator Elite SG boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) conditions, which typically means wet or muddy natural grass pitches.
What is HybridTouch?
HybridTouch is adidas' next-generation synthetic suede and foil combination, engineered to provide lightweight comfort and supportive fit for optimal performance.
What are Strikeskin rubber fins?
Strikeskin rubber fins are strategically placed elements on the upper that provide enhanced grip on the ball, leading to greater precision and swerve in your shots and passes.
Is it normal for the lacquer on the sole to wear off?
Yes, it is explicitly stated that the lacquer finish on the bottom of this boot may wear off during play, but this will not affect the product's performance or durability.
Are these boots made with recycled materials?
Yes, these adidas Predator Elite SG boots are made in part with recycled materials as part of adidas' commitment to sustainability.
How do I clean my adidas Predator Elite SG boots?
After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and wipe the HybridTouch upper with a damp cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What is the ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate?
The ControlFrame 2.0 is an advanced soleplate designed for soft ground, offering a winning mix of agility, speed, and stability through multidirectional traction and an ergonomic external heel counter.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too stiff or uncomfortable initially.
High-performance boots often require a short break-in period. Wear them for light training sessions or short periods to allow the HybridTouch upper to mold to your foot. Ensure you are wearing appropriate football socks.
Loss of grip on the pitch.
These boots are for soft ground (SG) pitches. Ensure the ground conditions are appropriate. Check the studs for mud build-up and clean them thoroughly to ensure maximum traction. Replace worn studs if they are removable.
Lacquer on the soleplate is wearing off.
This is a normal and expected characteristic of the product and does not affect the performance, durability, or integrity of the boot. No action is required.
Primeknit collar feels too tight or too loose.
While the Primeknit collar is adaptive, ensure the laces are properly adjusted. Loosen them slightly for more give or tighten them for a more secure fit. The regular fit accommodates various foot shapes, but personal preference for collar tightness can vary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Simply thread the laces through the eyelets and tie them securely to achieve a snug, personalized fit. The lace closure allows for adjustable compression around your foot.
- Break-in Period: Like most high-performance football boots, a short break-in period may be beneficial to allow the HybridTouch upper to fully conform to your foot's unique shape. Wear them during light training sessions before competitive matches.
Compatibility
- Ground Conditions: These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches. This means natural grass fields that are wet, muddy, or require longer studs for optimal traction. Using them on artificial turf or hard ground may reduce their effectiveness and potentially cause premature wear.
- Fit: The regular fit combined with the Primeknit collar and lace closure offers adaptability for various foot shapes, ensuring a secure and comfortable experience.
Care
- Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and mud using a soft brush. Wipe the HybridTouch upper with a damp cloth. For stubborn mud, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place. Using boot trees or stuffing them with newspaper can help maintain their shape.
- Lacquer Wear: Please note that the lacquer finish on the bottom of the ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate may wear off during play. This is a cosmetic characteristic and does not affect the boot's performance or durability. No special action is required for this.
