FAQs
Are these boots suitable for professional football matches?
The F50 Sala is primarily designed for casual street comfort and light indoor or street play. They may not provide the specialized features or support required for professional or high-intensity matches on various pitch types.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap solution, but always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals. Allow to air dry naturally.
What is the main benefit of the sala outsole?
The sala outsole is specifically designed to provide excellent grip and stability on indoor courts and street surfaces, allowing for quick movements and confident play.
Can I wear these boots in wet conditions?
While the boots can handle light moisture, they are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to wet conditions is not recommended, and they should be dried thoroughly afterward.
What does 'Cold Cement construction' mean?
Cold Cement construction refers to a durable method of attaching the sole to the upper, ensuring the shoe is built to last and withstand regular use.
What is the fit like?
These boots have a regular fit, designed to provide a balance of stability and comfort for most foot shapes. It's always recommended to try them on if possible or refer to sizing charts.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight
Wear them with thicker socks around the house for a short period to help them stretch slightly. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.
Reduced grip on the outsole
Clean the sala outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be hindering traction.
Leather upper appears dry or stiff
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner to the leather parts of the upper and gently rub it in. Allow it to absorb before wiping off any excess.
Stitching appears to be coming undone
Inspect the stitching carefully. For minor issues, a fabric glue might offer a temporary fix. For significant damage, consult a cobbler or consider replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots come ready to wear. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal fit and comfort. Lacing them up to your preferred tightness will provide the best stability.
Compatibility: The F50 Sala is designed for indoor surfaces, artificial turf, and general street wear. They are not intended for use on firm, soft, or wet natural grass pitches where specialized studs are required.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, wipe the leather and textile upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the leather.
- Drying: If the boots get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can cause the leather to crack or warp.
- Leather Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to the leather parts of the upper to keep them supple and prevent drying or cracking.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
