FAQs

What type of playing surface are these boots suitable for?

These adidas F50 Elite x Messi boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches, which are natural grass surfaces that are typically dry and firm.

How much do these boots weigh?

These boots are engineered to be lightweight, weighing approximately 190 grams (for a UK 8.5). The specific weight may vary slightly with different sizes, but they remain in the ultra-light category.

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

Yes, the lacquer finish on the bottom of the boot's soleplate is designed to wear off during play. This is an aesthetic characteristic and does not affect the boot's performance, grip, or durability.

What is the purpose of the two different sockliners included with the boots?

The boots come with two distinct sockliners: the SL (SuperLight) for maximum speed and a minimalist feel, and the Comfort sockliner for extra impact absorption and cushioning. You can choose the one that best suits your personal preference and playing style.

Are these boots made with recycled materials?

Yes, these adidas F50 Elite x Messi FG boots are made with at least 20% recycled materials as part of adidas' commitment to reducing waste and promoting environmental sustainability.

What is the 'burrito tongue' and how does it benefit me?

The knit burrito tongue is designed to provide a slightly wider and more adaptive fit around your foot. This unique construction offers improved lockdown and enhanced comfort, especially during rapid movements and changes of direction.

Are these boots suitable for players with wider feet?

The knit burrito tongue is designed to provide a 'slightly wider fit,' which may offer more comfort for some players with wider feet compared to other typically narrow-fitting speed boots. However, individual fit can vary, so it's recommended to try them on if possible.

Troubleshooting

The colorful lacquer finish on the soleplate is wearing off.

This is a normal aesthetic characteristic of the boot's design and is expected to occur during play. It does not affect the performance, grip, or durability of the soleplate. You can continue to use the boots as normal.

Boots feel uncomfortable, too tight, or too loose after initial wear.

First, ensure you have chosen the correct size. These boots come with two sockliners (SL for speed, Comfort for cushioning); try switching to the other sockliner to see if it improves the fit or feel. A short break-in period is also recommended for optimal comfort and molding to your foot.

Experiencing lack of grip or instability on the pitch.

Ensure you are using these boots on a suitable Firm Ground (FG) surface. These boots are specifically designed for dry, natural grass and are not intended for soft ground, artificial turf, or indoor surfaces, where grip performance will be significantly compromised.

Foot discomfort or blisters are developing during play.

Ensure the boots are properly laced – not too tight as to restrict circulation, nor too loose that your foot slides. Experiment with different thickness football socks. If currently using the SL sockliner, try switching to the Comfort sockliner for additional cushioning and impact absorption. A proper break-in period can also help prevent discomfort as the boots conform to your feet.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional speed and acceleration capabilities for rapid play
  • Enhanced agility and quick directional changes due to specialized soleplate design
  • Customizable comfort and performance with two distinct sockliner options
  • Stable and balanced feel during high-speed movements and tight turns
  • Ultra-lightweight construction for an unhindered, fast sensation
  • Incorporates recycled materials as part of an eco-conscious design

Cons

  • Lacquer finish on the soleplate may wear off aesthetically during play (performance unaffected)
  • Specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches only, limiting versatility on other surfaces
  • The wider fit from the burrito tongue might not perfectly suit all narrow foot shapes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Lacing: Begin by fully loosening the laces before attempting to put the boots on. This ensures a more comfortable entry and allows for proper adjustment.
  2. Sockliner Selection: Choose between the SL (SuperLight) sockliner for a lightweight, speed-focused feel, or the Comfort sockliner for enhanced cushioning and impact absorption. Simply insert your preferred sockliner into the boot before wear.
  3. Break-in Period: Like all new high-performance football boots, these may require a short break-in period. Wear them for light training sessions or short periods initially to allow the materials to mold to your foot for optimal comfort.

Compatibility

  • Pitch Type: These boots are designed exclusively for Firm Ground (FG) pitches. This refers to natural grass pitches that are dry and firm. Using them on artificial grass (AG), soft ground (SG), or indoor surfaces is not recommended as it can compromise performance, damage the boots, and potentially lead to injury.
  • Player Type: Ideal for players who emphasize speed, quick changes of direction, and prefer a lightweight, close-to-the-ball feel.

Care

  • Cleaning: After each use, promptly remove any mud or debris from the upper and soleplate using a soft brush or a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning materials, which can damage the boot's delicate finishes.
  • Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never expose them to direct heat sources such as radiators, tumble dryers, or direct sunlight, as this can cause the materials to crack or shrink.
  • Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place. Stuffing them with crumpled newspaper can help absorb any remaining moisture and assist in maintaining their original shape.
  • Lacquer Finish Note: Please be aware that the lacquer finish on the bottom of the soleplate may wear off during play. This is a normal aesthetic characteristic of the product and will not affect the boot's performance, durability, or grip.
