adidas Predator Elite Fold Over Tongue Soft Ground Football Boots - Black/Red - UK 11

These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) natural grass pitches, which are typically damp or muddy.

Wipe off excess mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Avoid harsh detergents.

The fold-over tongue is an integrated design feature intended to increase the strike zone. While it can be folded and secured in different ways during lacing, it is not designed to be removed.

The ControlFrame 2.0 outsole is engineered to provide responsive traction, enabling quick movements and stability on soft ground surfaces.

The HybridTouch upper offers an adaptive fit. However, players with very wide feet should consider trying them on if possible, as the snug fit might be a factor.

Predator Elite typically represents a higher tier within the Predator line, often featuring more advanced materials, technologies, and performance enhancements compared to standard or .1 models.

The lifespan of football boots depends heavily on usage frequency, playing surface, and care. With proper care and regular use on appropriate surfaces, they should provide reliable performance for a full season or more.

Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly and the fold-over tongue is positioned to your preference. Consider wearing them for short periods to break them in, and check if the size is appropriate for your foot.

Confirm you are playing on the intended soft ground surface. Ensure studs are clean, undamaged, and securely tightened. For very wet conditions, ensure appropriate stud length is being used (if applicable).

Cease use immediately and inspect the area. If it is a significant fault, contact the retailer or manufacturer for warranty information. Minor fraying may not affect performance but should be monitored.

Ensure the tongue is tucked and secured properly under the laces or any retaining mechanism. The fit of the boot and the lacing tension can influence how well the tongue stays in place.
