FAQs
Are these boots suitable for all playing surfaces?
No, these are Firm Ground (FG) football boots and are best suited for natural grass pitches that are slightly wet or dry. They are not recommended for artificial grass or very hard surfaces.
How do I choose between the two included sockliners?
The SL sockliner is designed for maximum lightness and responsiveness, ideal for players prioritizing pure speed. The Comfort sockliner offers additional cushioning and impact absorption for players who prefer a softer feel or play more demanding roles.
Will the wear on the soleplate's lacquer finish affect performance?
No, the wear on the lacquer finish is purely cosmetic and does not affect the performance, grip, or durability of the soleplate or the boot itself.
How do I clean these football boots?
After use, brush off dry dirt. If necessary, wipe with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the boots or using harsh cleaning agents. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat.
What does the 'x Messi' in the name signify?
It signifies that the boots have been designed in collaboration with Lionel Messi, incorporating elements tailored to his playing style and preferences, such as specific design details and fit adjustments.
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
The knit burrito tongue is designed to allow for a slightly wider fit compared to traditional tongues, offering some adaptability. However, individual fit may vary.
What is the benefit of the external heel counter?
The external heel counter provides enhanced stability and helps to lock the heel in place, ensuring better balance and control during quick movements and sharp turns.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Try swapping the sockliner to the Comfort version for added cushioning. Ensure laces are not overtightened. Allow a break-in period of a few games.
Studs feel slippery on the pitch
Confirm you are playing on a firm ground surface. Clean any mud or debris from the studs. If the issue persists, the boots may not be suitable for the pitch conditions.
Lacquer finish on soleplate is peeling
This is a normal cosmetic effect of wear and does not impact performance. Continue using the boots as normal.
Tongue feels awkward or shifts during play
Experiment with different lacing techniques to better secure the burrito tongue. Ensure the tongue is positioned correctly before lacing up.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Unbox the boots and remove any internal packaging.
- Choose between the SL (speed) or Comfort sockliner based on preference and insert it into the boot.
- Lace up the boots securely using the provided closure system.
Compatibility:
- These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) football pitches. Use on artificial grass or hard, natural surfaces may reduce performance and potentially damage the studs.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid submerging the boots in water.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, to maintain their shape and material integrity. Ensure they are completely dry before storing.
- Soleplate: Be aware that the lacquer finish on the bottom of the boot may wear off during play. This is a cosmetic effect and does not compromise the boot's performance or structural integrity.
