adidas Predator Pro Fold-Over Tongue Soft Ground Football Boots - White - UK 8

These adidas Predator Pro boots are specifically engineered for soft ground (SG) pitches. This includes natural grass fields that are wet, muddy, or require deep stud penetration for optimal traction.

No, it is not recommended to use these boots on artificial grass (AG) or firm ground (FG) surfaces. The stud configuration is designed for soft ground and could cause damage to the boots or lead to instability and potential injury on harder surfaces.

The Strikeskin fins are strategically placed rubber elements on the upper that enhance ball grip. This allows for greater control, more precise shooting, and improved spin on passes, giving you better command over the ball.

The Fold-Over Tongue provides a classic football boot aesthetic and, more importantly, creates a clean, uninterrupted striking surface. This reduces interference between your foot and the ball, potentially leading to a purer and more consistent strike.

HybridTouch 2.0 is an advanced synthetic material used in the boot's upper. It's designed to offer a soft, comfortable feel similar to natural leather, while providing excellent ball control and durability.

After each use, wipe off mud and debris with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a soft brush with a mild soap solution (e.g., diluted dish soap). Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Regular cleaning will prevent stains from setting in.

Yes, their durable construction and performance-enhancing features make them perfect for both competitive league matches and regular weekly training sessions on soft ground.

The Controlframe 2.0 outsole is engineered to deliver supreme control and enhanced traction specifically on soft ground pitches. It allows you to maintain stability, make quick cuts, and accelerate effectively without slipping.

Ensure you are playing on a soft ground pitch. Check that the screw-in studs are clean and securely fastened. If studs are worn or damaged, consider replacement (if compatible with replaceable studs) or assess if the boots are past their prime for optimal grip.

Ensure the boots have been properly broken in. Adjust your lacing technique to find a secure yet comfortable fit. Wear appropriate football socks. If discomfort persists, check if the boot size is correct for your foot.

For synthetic uppers, a mild soap solution (like dish soap diluted in water) and a soft brush can help. Apply gently, scrub, and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners which can damage the material.

This can happen if dried too quickly with heat. Always air dry at room temperature. For boots that have stiffened, a very light application of a synthetic boot conditioner (if available and recommended by adidas) might help, but often natural air drying is key.
