adidas Predator Elite Fold Over Tongue Soft Ground Football Boots - Black/Red - UK 12

These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) football pitches, such as wet or muddy natural grass.

Clean them with a soft brush or damp cloth after each use to remove dirt and mud. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.

It is not recommended. These boots are optimized for soft ground, and using them on artificial grass can lead to reduced performance, increased wear, and potential injury.

The fold-over tongue increases the surface area for striking the ball, potentially leading to improved accuracy and power.

The HybridTouch upper provides a premium feel, a snug fit that adapts to your foot shape, and enhances ball control.

The HybridTouch upper offers an adaptive fit, but the boot is generally designed for a standard to slightly narrower fit. Players with significantly wide feet may find them restrictive.

ControlFrame 2.0 is the outsole technology engineered to provide responsive traction and stability specifically on soft ground surfaces.

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Wear thin socks initially and allow the HybridTouch upper to mold to your foot over a few training sessions. Check that the fold-over tongue is positioned correctly for your comfort.

Verify that the boots are indeed on a soft ground surface. Ensure the studs are clean and free from mud or debris. If the pitch is excessively wet, the stud design is optimized for this condition.

Ensure the laces are tied securely. The tongue is designed to be folded over, and consistent lacing should help keep it in place. Experiment with different lacing techniques if slippage persists.

Avoid using these boots on hard or artificial surfaces. Clean and dry them properly after each use to preserve the materials. Inspect for any manufacturing defects if wear seems excessive and premature.
