Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your new adidas F50 Pro FG boots feature a lace closure system for a customizable fit. Before your first use, ensure the laces are threaded correctly and adjust them to achieve a snug, secure fit that is comfortable but not overly tight. The Compression Fit Tunnel Tongue is designed to mold to your foot, so a short break-in period during light training sessions may be beneficial to achieve optimal comfort and lockdown.
Compatibility
These boots are specifically designed with a Sprintshell 360 soleplate for Firm Ground (FG) pitches. This means they are best suited for natural, dry, and firm grass surfaces. Using them on artificial turf (AG), soft ground (SG), or indoor surfaces (IC) is not recommended, as it can damage the soleplate and studs, void your warranty, and compromise performance and safety.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your F50 Pro boots:
- Cleaning after use: After each match or training session, remove excess dirt and grass from the soleplate and upper. Use a soft brush or cloth for the soleplate and a damp cloth for the Fibertouch upper.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators), as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place. Using a boot bag can protect them from dust and scratches.
- Odour control: If odors develop, remove the insoles and air them out. You can also use boot deodorizers to keep them fresh.
- Material care: The Fibertouch upper and recycled materials benefit from gentle cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools.
