FAQs

What type of playing surface are these boots suitable for?

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

What is the purpose of the two different sockliners included?

The boots come with an SL (Speed Lightweight) sockliner for a more direct, responsive feel and a Comfort sockliner for enhanced cushioning and impact absorption. You can choose the one that best suits your playing style and comfort needs.

Do these boots only come in Messi's preferred colorway?

The F50 Elite series comes in various colorways. This specific variant features the Flash Aqua/Lucid Pink/Lucid Cyan La Vida Tropical Miami-inspired colorway, worn by Messi and other top players in the Messi +10 campaign.

How much do these boots weigh?

The adidas F50 Elite boots weigh approximately 190g, making them exceptionally lightweight for speed and agility.

Are these boots made with recycled materials?

Yes, these boots are made with at least 20% recycled materials, as part of adidas' commitment to sustainability.

What is the 'burrito tongue' design?

The burrito tongue is a knit design tailored to Messi's preferences. It wraps around the foot, allowing for a slightly wider, more comfortable fit while providing secure lockdown and stability.

Troubleshooting

The colorful finish on the soleplate is wearing off.

This is normal. The lacquer finish is aesthetic and designed to wear during play. It does not affect the boot's performance, durability, or grip.

Boots feel uncomfortable or too tight.

First, ensure you are using the correct sockliner (try the Comfort one if you have the SL in). Adjust your lacing; sometimes loosening or tightening specific areas can improve comfort. If discomfort persists, ensure the boots are the correct size and width for your feet.

Poor grip or slipping on the pitch.

Confirm you are playing on a firm ground surface, as these boots are specifically designed for FG. Check the studs for any excessive wear or damage. Ensure the pitch itself is not unusually wet or muddy, which can reduce grip even for FG boots.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Explosive Speed and Acceleration: Engineered for rapid bursts of pace and straight-line speed, crucial for attacking players.
  • Enhanced Agility: The Sprintframe 360 soleplate with rounded midfoot studs allows for quick, decisive directional changes.
  • Customizable Comfort: Includes two different sockliners (SL and Comfort) to tailor the feel and cushioning to individual preference.
  • Secure and Supportive Fit: The HybridTouch upper with moulded 3Stripes and burrito tongue provides excellent lockdown and stability.
  • Lightweight Design: At approximately 190g, the boots minimize weight, enhancing natural movement and speed.

Cons

  • Aesthetic Wear: The lacquer finish on the bottom of the soleplate may wear off during play, though this does not affect performance.
  • Firm Ground Specific: Optimized solely for firm ground pitches, limiting versatility on other surfaces.
  • Fit Preference: While the burrito tongue offers a slightly wider fit, individual foot shapes may still require careful sizing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper setup and care will ensure your adidas F50 Elite x Messi FG boots maintain their performance and longevity.

Setup

  1. Choose Your Sockliner: Upon unboxing, you will find two sets of sockliners: one SL (Speed Lightweight) for a direct, responsive feel, and one Comfort for enhanced cushioning and impact absorption. Select the one that best suits your playing style and comfort preference.
  2. Lacing: Utilize the lace closure system to secure your foot snugly within the boot. Ensure the laces are tied firmly but not overly tight to allow for natural foot movement and blood circulation.

Compatibility

  • Playing Surface: These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches. This includes natural grass fields that are relatively dry and firm. Using them on artificial turf (AG), soft ground (SG), or indoor surfaces (IC) may lead to premature wear of the studs and potentially affect performance or cause injury.
  • Foot Type: The burrito tongue offers a slightly wider fit than some traditional designs. While accommodating, it's always recommended to try on boots to ensure the best fit for your specific foot shape.

Care

  • Cleaning After Use: After each use, remove excess dirt and mud from the upper and soleplate using a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Washing: If necessary, you can lightly dampen a cloth with water and mild soap to clean stubborn stains. Do not machine wash or submerge the boots in water.
  • Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, or other heat sources, as these can cause the materials to dry out, crack, or deform. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  • Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
  • Lacquer Wear: Be aware that the iridescent lacquer finish on the bottom of the Sprintframe 360 soleplate may wear off during play. This is a normal aesthetic occurrence and does not affect the performance or durability of the boots.
