Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The adidas Predator Elite Tongue FG boots feature a regular fit with a lace closure. To ensure optimal comfort and performance, always lace them up securely before play. The foldover tongue should be positioned over the laces and secured with its strap.
Compatibility: These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches. This means they are best suited for natural grass fields that are dry and firm. Using them on artificial turf (AG) or soft ground (SG) may damage the boots and compromise performance and safety. They are designed for adult, unisex use.
Care: Proper care extends the life and performance of your boots:
- Clean After Each Use: Remove any mud or debris immediately after playing. Use a soft brush and water, avoiding harsh scrubbing that could damage the upper.
- Wipe Down: Gently wipe the surface with a damp cloth to remove dirt from the HybridTouch material and Strikeskin elements.
- Air Dry: Always allow your boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can cause the materials to crack or stiffen.
- Stuff with Paper: To help maintain their shape and absorb excess moisture, stuff the boots with newspaper after cleaning.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures. Consider using a boot bag for protection.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use strong detergents, bleach, or solvents, as these can degrade the boot materials.
