FAQs
What type of playing surface are these boots suitable for?
These boots are specifically designed for Soft Ground (SG) football pitches, which typically means wet or muddy natural grass surfaces.
Will the lacquer wearing off the soleplate affect performance?
No, the wearing off of the lacquer finish on the soleplate is a normal cosmetic process during play and does not impact the performance or durability of the boots.
What is `HybridTouch` upper material?
`HybridTouch` is adidas' next-generation synthetic suede and foil combo, engineered to provide lightweight comfort, support, and a natural feel on the ball.
How should I clean my adidas Predator Elite Tongue SG boots?
After use, remove excess mud with a soft brush or cloth. Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat.
Who endorses the Predator range?
The Predator range is endorsed by professional footballers including Jude Bellingham, Alessia Russo, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Gabriel Jesus, and Katie Zelem.
Can I use these boots on artificial grass or firm ground?
It is not recommended. These boots are optimized for soft ground. Using them on artificial grass or firm ground can damage the studs, reduce traction, and shorten the boot's lifespan.
What does `ControlFrame 2.0` mean?
`ControlFrame 2.0` refers to the specialized soleplate designed to provide optimal agility, speed, and stability on soft ground, thanks to its unique multidirectional traction pattern and ergonomic heel counter.
Troubleshooting
Lacquer finish on soleplate is wearing off.
This is a normal cosmetic occurrence and does not affect the performance or durability of the boots. Continue to use as intended.
Poor traction on the pitch.
Ensure you are playing on a soft ground (SG) surface. These boots are specifically designed for wet or muddy natural grass. Using them on firm ground or artificial grass will result in poor traction and may damage the studs.
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Check your lacing. Ensure it's not too tight, especially around the midfoot and collar. The `Primeknit collar` will adapt over a few wears. If discomfort persists, verify you have the correct size. `Regular fit` usually accommodates standard foot widths.
Foot slipping inside the boot.
Ensure laces are tied securely to provide a snug fit. Consider wearing thicker football socks if there's still too much movement. The `foldover tongue` and `Primeknit collar` are designed to enhance fit stability.
Difficulty putting the boots on.
Gently stretch the `Primeknit collar` open with both hands as you slide your foot in. Using a shoehorn can also assist, especially when the boots are new.

- Lacing: Ensure laces are threaded evenly through all eyelets. Start from the toe and pull laces taut as you progress towards the ankle. The `lace closure` allows for a customizable, secure fit.
- Tongue Adjustment: Position the `foldover tongue` comfortably over the top of your foot. The integrated strap helps keep it in place during play.

Care
- Cleaning After Use: Immediately after play, remove excess mud and dirt from the boots using a soft brush or cloth. Wipe down the upper with a damp cloth.

- Stud Maintenance: Regularly check and clean the studs. Replace any damaged or worn studs if they are removable.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, ideally with boot trees or crumpled paper inside to maintain their shape.
- Lacquer Note: The lacquer finish on the bottom of the `ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate` is designed to wear off during play. This is normal and will not affect the performance or durability of the product. No special care is needed for this cosmetic change.
