adidas Predator Elite Tongue SG - Grey - 6.5

These boots are specifically designed with an SG (Soft Ground) soleplate, meaning they are optimized for natural grass pitches that are wet, muddy, or soft. Using them on firm ground or artificial turf is not recommended.

After each use, especially in muddy conditions, remove excess dirt with a soft brush. Wipe the HybridTouch 2.0 upper with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources or harsh chemicals.

The foldover tongue with Strikeskin elements creates a clean, smooth striking surface, enhancing your shot accuracy and ball control. It minimizes distractions and provides a consistent touch on the ball.

Yes, the product description states that this specific model is designed to be the 'lightest Predator', contributing to agility and speed on the pitch.

No, these boots are specifically for Soft Ground (SG). Using them on artificial turf or firm ground can damage the soleplate, studs, and may lead to discomfort or reduced performance. Always match your boot type to the playing surface.

The HybridTouch 2.0 upper combines synthetic suede and foil materials to deliver a cushioned touch on the ball, allowing for better feel and control. It also provides a structured and secure fit for your foot.

The Strikeskin rubber fins on the forefoot are strategically placed to enhance grip on the ball. This means you can achieve more precise shots, passes, and better overall ball manipulation, especially in wet conditions.

High-performance boots often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for lighter training sessions or walks initially to allow the HybridTouch 2.0 upper to mold to your foot shape. Ensure you're wearing appropriate football socks.

Check your studs. Ensure they are clean of mud buildup, securely tightened, and not excessively worn down. Replace any damaged or overly worn studs. Also, confirm the pitch is genuinely soft ground, as these boots are not designed for firmer surfaces.

Ensure you are cleaning the boots correctly. Use a damp cloth to wipe the HybridTouch 2.0 upper after each use. Avoid harsh detergents or scrubbing brushes that can damage the synthetic suede and foil. Allow to air dry naturally.

Ensure the tongue is properly folded and the laces are threaded to secure it. Sometimes, adjusting the tightness of the laces around the midfoot can help keep the tongue in its optimal position for a clean striking area. If adjustable, make sure any Velcro or elastic fasteners are secure.
