FAQs

What type of playing surface are these boots suitable for?

These adidas Predator Elite Tongue SG boots are specifically designed for Soft Ground (SG) pitches, which are natural grass fields that are typically wet or muddy. They are not recommended for firm ground, artificial grass, or indoor surfaces.

What is the 'HybridTouch' upper made of?

HybridTouch is adidas's next-generation synthetic suede and foil combination. It's engineered to provide lightweight comfort, excellent support, and a natural, responsive feel for the ball.

Will the color on the soleplate wear off?

Yes, the lacquer finish on the bottom of this boot's soleplate is designed to wear off during play. This is a normal cosmetic occurrence and will not affect the performance or functionality of the product.

How do I properly clean my Predator Elite Tongue SG boots?

After use, remove loose mud with a soft brush. Wipe the upper with a damp cloth, using a mild soap solution if necessary, then rinse with clean water and wipe dry. Allow them to air dry at room temperature away from direct heat or sunlight.

Do these boots contain recycled materials?

Yes, these adidas Predator Elite Tongue SG boots are made in part with recycled materials, reflecting a commitment to sustainability.

What is the benefit of the foldover tongue?

The slightly larger foldover tongue with a strap provides a more integrated and secure fit. It creates a cleaner strike zone, enhancing ball contact and contributing to a more precise and controlled touch.

Troubleshooting

Poor grip or slipping on the pitch.

Ensure you are playing on a soft ground surface, as these boots are specifically designed for SG. Check that the studs are clean and free of mud or debris. If playing on firm ground, switch to appropriate FG boots for optimal traction.

Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable during play.

Ensure proper lacing; loosen and re-tighten to ensure an even distribution of pressure. Allow for a break-in period, as new boots often need a few sessions to mold to your feet. Check your sock thickness and consider different options if discomfort persists.

Reduced ball control or responsiveness.

Clean the HybridTouch upper thoroughly to ensure the Strikeskin fins and touch grooves are clear. Ensure the boots are laced securely to prevent excessive foot movement inside the boot, which can affect touch.

The soleplate looks discolored or worn.

The lacquer finish on the soleplate is designed to wear off during play. This is purely cosmetic and does not impact the boot's performance, durability, or structural integrity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced Ball Control: Strikeskin fins and pronounced touch grooves significantly improve precision and responsiveness.
  • Superior Comfort and Support: HybridTouch upper and Primeknit collar provide a lightweight, comfortable, and adaptive fit.
  • Optimized for Soft Ground: ControlFrame 2.0 soleplate delivers excellent agility, speed, and stability on natural, soft pitches.
  • Integrated Fit: The foldover tongue offers a secure and consistent feel, reducing distractions.
  • Sustainability Conscious: Made in part with recycled materials.

Cons

  • Surface Specificity: Soleplate is designed exclusively for soft ground, limiting versatility for other pitch types.
  • Cosmetic Wear: Lacquer finish on the soleplate may wear off during play, though this does not impact performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Lacing: Loosen the laces adequately to easily slide your foot into the boot. The Primeknit collar will offer a snug entry.
  2. Positioning: Ensure your foot is comfortably seated within the boot, with your heel firmly against the back.
  3. Tongue Adjustment: Fold the larger tongue over the laces and secure it with the integrated strap for a secure and integrated fit.
  4. Tightening: Systematically tighten the laces from the bottom upwards, ensuring an even and secure fit across your foot without overtightening. Double-knot for security during play.

Compatibility

  • Playing Surface: These boots are specifically designed for Soft Ground (SG) pitches, which are typically natural grass fields that are wet or muddy. The conical and bladed studs provide optimal penetration and grip in these conditions.
  • Age Group: Designed for adult players.
  • Gender: Suitable for both male and unisex use.
  • Size: Available in UK size 9.5 (other sizes are available in different variants).

Care

  • Cleaning After Use: Immediately after playing, remove excess mud and debris from the upper and soleplate using a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Washing: For a deeper clean, wipe the HybridTouch upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Rinse with clean water and wipe dry. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  • Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators), as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, ideally with boot trees or crumpled paper inside to help maintain their shape.
  • Soleplate Lacquer: Be aware that the lacquer finish on the bottom of the soleplate may wear off during play. This is a cosmetic effect and will not affect the performance or durability of the product.
