FAQs

What type of playing surface are these boots suitable for?

These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches, which typically refers to natural grass fields that are dry and firm.

Do these boots come with different sockliners?

Yes, the adidas F50 x Messi Elite FG boots include two sets of sockliners: an SL (Speed) sockliner for a lightweight feel and a Comfort sockliner for additional cushioning and impact absorption.

Will the colored finish on the soleplate wear off?

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

How much do these boots weigh?

These boots are ultra-lightweight, weighing approximately 190 grams (for UK size 8.5).

Are these boots suitable for wide feet?

The Messi edition features a knit burrito tongue which allows for a slightly wider fit compared to standard F50 models. However, individual fit can vary, and trying them on is recommended if possible.

How should I clean and care for my F50 x Messi Elite FG boots?

After each use, wipe off dirt with a damp cloth or soft brush. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid using harsh cleaning agents or direct heat, as these can damage the materials.

Troubleshooting

The bottom (soleplate) of my boots is showing signs of wear or peeling.

The F50 x Messi Elite FG boots feature a specialized lacquer finish on the soleplate which is designed to wear off during play. This is a normal characteristic of the product and will not impact the performance, grip, or durability of your boots. Continue to use them as intended.

The boots feel too stiff or uncomfortable during initial wear.

These boots come with two sockliners: SL (Speed) and Comfort. If the initial feel is too firm, try swapping to the Comfort sockliner for increased cushioning. Also, ensure you allow for a short break-in period during light training sessions to allow the HybridTouch upper to adapt to your foot shape.

My feet feel like they're slipping inside the boots.

First, ensure your laces are tied securely but comfortably. If the issue persists, ensure you are wearing appropriate football socks designed to prevent slippage. The knit burrito tongue is designed for a secure fit, but individual foot shapes vary. Experiment with the tightness of your laces.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Explosive Speed & Agility: Engineered for rapid acceleration and quick, decisive cuts, enhancing on-pitch performance.
  • Customizable Comfort: Includes two distinct sockliners (SL and Comfort) to tailor cushioning and feel to individual preference.
  • Messi-Endorsed Design: Features specific elements preferred by Lionel Messi, offering a professional-grade experience.
  • Ultra-Lightweight: Minimal weight (approx. 190g) reduces fatigue and supports high-speed play.
  • Sustainable Construction: Incorporates at least 20% recycled materials.

Cons

  • Lacquer Wear: The lacquer finish on the soleplate is designed to wear off during play, which some users might perceive as a cosmetic defect (though it does not affect performance).
  • Firm Ground Specific: Optimized for firm ground surfaces, making them less suitable for other pitch types (e.g., soft ground, artificial turf).
  • Synthetic Upper: The HybridTouch synthetic suede upper may not appeal to players who prefer the natural feel of real leather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Instructions

  1. Choose Your Sockliner: Upon unboxing, you will find two sets of sockliners: SL (Speed) and Comfort. Insert the one that best suits your preference for cushioning and feel. The SL sockliner offers a lighter, more direct feel, while the Comfort sockliner provides additional impact absorption.
  2. Lace Up: Utilize the traditional lace closure system to secure the boots snugly around your foot. Ensure they are tied firmly but comfortably to prevent excessive movement inside the boot.
  3. Break-in Period: Like all new football boots, these may require a short break-in period. Start with shorter training sessions to allow the materials to mold to your foot before full-match intensity.

Compatibility

  • Surface: These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches. This means natural grass fields that are relatively dry and firm. Using them on artificial turf (AG) or soft ground (SG) may compromise performance, durability, and can void warranties.
  • User: Designed for adult players, suitable for unisex use.

Care Instructions

  1. Clean After Use: After each use, remove loose dirt and debris from the upper and soleplate using a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  2. Air Dry: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight) as this can damage the materials.
  3. Address Lacquer Wear: Please note that the lacquer finish on the bottom of this boot may wear off during play. This is normal and will not affect the performance or durability of the product. There is no special care required for this aspect beyond regular cleaning.
  4. Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, ideally with boot trees or crumpled newspaper inside to maintain their shape.
