FAQs

What type of playing surfaces are these boots suitable for?

These boots are designed specifically for Firm Ground (FG) pitches, which are natural grass surfaces.

Do these boots come with different sockliners?

Yes, they include two different sockliners: an SL (Super Light) sockliner for pure speed and a Comfort sockliner for extra impact absorption.

Is it normal for the lacquer on the soleplate to wear off?

Yes, the lacquer finish on the bottom of the boot may wear off during play. This is normal and does not affect the boot's performance.

What is the approximate weight of these boots?

The adidas F50 Elite x Messi FG boots weigh approximately 190g.

Are these boots made with recycled materials?

Yes, these boots are made with at least 20% recycled materials as part of adidas' commitment to sustainability.

What is the benefit of the 'burrito tongue'?

The burrito tongue is a knit design that allows for a slightly wider and more adaptable fit, enhancing comfort while securing the foot.

What is the HybridTouch upper made of?

The HybridTouch upper is crafted from a synthetic suede and foil material, designed to provide structure, support, and a soft, haptic feel for the ball.

Troubleshooting

The lacquer finish on the soleplate is wearing off.

This is a normal characteristic of the boot's design and is expected during play. It is purely cosmetic and does not affect the performance, durability, or functional integrity of the product.

Boots feel uncomfortable or not performing as expected.

Ensure you have selected the appropriate sockliner for your needs (SL for speed, Comfort for cushioning). Adjust the lacing to achieve a snug but comfortable fit. Allow a short break-in period for the boots to adapt to your foot shape.

Losing grip on the pitch.

Verify that you are playing on a firm ground surface, as these boots are specifically designed for this type of pitch. Regularly clean the studs and soleplate to prevent dirt buildup from reducing traction.

Boots feel too tight or too loose.

Adjust the lacing system. The burrito tongue is designed to offer a slightly wider fit, but proper lacing is crucial. If still problematic, try adjusting your sock thickness or re-evaluating your size.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Exceptional Speed & Agility: Engineered for explosive acceleration and quick directional changes.
Customizable Comfort: Includes two different sockliners (SL and Comfort) to tailor the feel.
Enhanced Ball Control: HybridTouch upper with soft haptic texturing improves touch and feel.
Stable & Balanced: Sprintframe 360 soleplate and external heel counter provide excellent stability during fast movements.
Lightweight Build: Contributes to speed and reduces foot fatigue over extended play.
Messi-Inspired Design: Features details preferred by Lionel Messi, including the burrito tongue and moulded 3Stripes.
Sustainable Choice: Made with a significant percentage of recycled materials.

Cons

Lacquer Wear: The soleplate's lacquer finish may wear off during play, though this does not affect performance.
Firm Ground Specific: Optimized solely for firm ground pitches; not ideal for soft ground or artificial turf.
Fit Preference: While the burrito tongue offers a wider fit, the overall design is tailored to Messi's preferences, which may not suit all foot types.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Lacing: Secure the boots using the traditional lace closure system. Ensure laces are tight enough for a snug fit but not overly restrictive.
Sockliner Choice: Before first use, decide which sockliner best suits your playing style. The SL (Super Light) sockliner offers a direct, lightweight feel for maximum speed, while the Comfort sockliner provides additional cushioning and impact absorption. Simply insert your preferred sockliner into each boot.

Compatibility

These boots are designed exclusively for Firm Ground (FG) pitches. This includes natural grass surfaces that are firm and dry. Using them on artificial turf (AG) or soft ground (SG) may damage the boots or lead to suboptimal performance and potentially injury.
They are a unisex adult product, suitable for both male and female players.

Care Instructions

Cleaning After Use: After each use, wipe down the boots with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For stubborn mud, a soft brush can be used on the studs and soleplate.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, hair dryers) as this can damage the materials.
Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider stuffing them with newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Lacquer Wear: Please note that the lacquer finish on the bottom of the soleplate may wear off during play. This is a normal cosmetic occurrence and will not affect the performance or durability of the product.
