FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for playing football?
The F50 Sala features a sala outsole designed for grip, but these low shoes are primarily intended for casual wear and street comfort, not competitive or high-performance football.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from a combination of leather and textile materials for durability, comfort, and breathability.
How should I clean the leather parts?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For deeper cleaning, a mild leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Always allow to air dry.
What does 'Cold Cement construction' mean?
Cold Cement construction refers to a durable method of bonding the shoe's upper to the sole using adhesives, ensuring a robust build.
Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?
While the materials offer some protection, they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet surfaces.
What is the fit like?
The F50 Sala has a regular fit, designed to be comfortable for average adult foot shapes. It is recommended to try them on if possible for the best fit.
Are there different color options available?
This guide focuses on the Silver Metallic/Grey variant. Please refer to product listings for availability of other colors.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing. For a tighter fit, ensure laces are evenly distributed and pulled snug. For a looser fit, slacken the laces. If the fit is still uncomfortable, consider the shoe's regular fit may not suit your foot shape.
Leather upper appears dry or scuffed.
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or cream using a soft cloth to moisturize and restore the leather. For scuffs, try a matching color shoe polish and buff gently.
Outsole losing grip.
Ensure the outsole is clean; dirt and debris can affect traction. If wear is evident on the tread pattern, it may indicate normal wear and tear.
Discoloration on the upper.
Wipe gently with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh cleaning agents. If the discoloration is due to prolonged sun exposure, move the shoes to a shaded area.
