FAQs
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is primarily constructed from a combination of leather and textile materials.
Are these shoes suitable for playing football?
While inspired by performance footwear, the F50 Sala is designed as a low shoe for casual wear and light activities, not for competitive or high-intensity football matches. The outsole is grippy for general use but lacks specialized stud patterns for the sport.
How should I clean the leather exterior?
Wipe the leather exterior with a slightly damp cloth. For more persistent dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner, and always allow the shoes to air dry naturally afterwards.
What does 'Cold Cement construction' mean?
Cold Cement construction refers to a method of shoe assembly where the sole is attached to the upper using adhesives at lower temperatures. This method typically results in a durable and flexible bond.
What is the fit like?
The shoes have a regular fit, designed to provide a standard, comfortable feel. They feature a lace-up closure for adjustable security.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The leather upper offers some protection, but these shoes are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may damage the leather and affect comfort.
What is the primary use case for the F50 Sala?
The F50 Sala is ideal for daily casual wear, offering comfort and a sporty style inspired by the adidas Originals heritage.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Try wearing them with thicker socks for a short period to help stretch the leather. If the tightness persists, they may be too small, and considering a half-size larger might be beneficial if available.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or between the tongue and laces.
Leather appears dry or scuffed
Clean the affected area gently with a damp cloth. Apply a neutral or color-matched leather conditioner to restore moisture and shine. For scuffs, a leather repair product might be necessary.
Outsole losing grip over time
Clean the outsole thoroughly with a brush to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that could be affecting traction. Ensure the shoes are not exposed to excessive oils or slippery substances.

Compatibility: These low shoes are designed for adult males and are best suited for casual wear. They are compatible with a wide range of casual attire.
Care:
- Cleaning: For the leather upper, use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the leather.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can dry out and crack the leather.
