FAQs

What type of playing surface are these boots suitable for?

These adidas F50 Elite x Messi FG boots are designed specifically for Firm Ground (FG) pitches, which are natural grass fields that are dry and firm. They are not recommended for artificial grass (AG), soft ground (SG), or indoor surfaces.

What is the purpose of the two different sockliners included?

The boots come with two sockliners: an 'SL' (Super Light) sockliner for minimal weight and maximum speed, and a 'Comfort' sockliner for enhanced cushioning and impact absorption. You can choose the one that best suits your preference and playing style.

Will the silver finish on the bottom of the boot last?

The lacquer finish on the soleplate is designed to wear off during play. This is a normal cosmetic effect and does not affect the boot's performance, durability, or overall functionality. Your boots will continue to perform optimally.

What is the 'burrito tongue'?

The 'burrito tongue' is a unique design feature favored by Lionel Messi. It's a folded, one-piece tongue construction that wraps around the foot, aiming to provide a secure lockdown and a slightly wider, more accommodating fit.

Are these boots made with recycled materials?

Yes, these boots are made with at least 20% recycled materials. This is part of adidas's commitment to reduce waste and their environmental footprint.

How do I clean my adidas F50 Elite boots?

After use, wipe off loose dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. For thorough cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth on the upper. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight.

Do these boots fit true to size?

Adidas F50 boots generally run true to size for most users. However, foot shape varies, and the 'burrito tongue' allows for a slightly wider fit. It's always recommended to try them on or consult a size guide if unsure.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable

First, try using the 'Comfort' sockliner if you're currently using the 'SL' one. Ensure your laces are not tied too tightly. Give the boots a few sessions to break in, as the HybridTouch upper will mold to your foot over time.

Losing grip on the pitch

Ensure you are playing on a firm ground pitch suitable for these boots. Check the soleplate for excessive mud or debris buildup, which can reduce traction. Also, inspect the studs for any excessive wear, though this is less likely with new boots.

Silver lacquer on soleplate is wearing off

This is a normal cosmetic occurrence. The lacquer finish on the soleplate is designed to wear off during play and does not impact the performance, durability, or structural integrity of the boots. Continue using them with confidence.

Boots feel heavy or waterlogged after playing in wet conditions

After playing, clean off all mud and debris. Remove the sockliners and allow the boots to air dry thoroughly in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb internal moisture and maintain shape.

Difficulty putting the boots on due to the burrito tongue

While the burrito tongue is designed for a slightly wider fit, it can be a snug opening. Ensure the laces are fully loosened before attempting to slide your foot in. Use a shoehorn if needed to guide your heel smoothly into the boot.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional speed and explosive acceleration thanks to lightweight design.
  • Enhanced agility and quick directional changes enabled by the Sprintframe 360 soleplate.
  • Customizable comfort and performance with two included sockliners.
  • Superior stability and control at high speeds.
  • Signature Messi-inspired design and features.
  • Contribution to sustainability through recycled materials.

Cons

  • Lacquer finish on the soleplate may wear off cosmetically (does not affect performance).
  • Specifically designed for firm ground pitches; not suitable for other surfaces.
  • The burrito tongue design, while offering a wider fit, might not suit all foot anatomies universally.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Choose Your Sockliner: Upon unboxing, select between the lighter 'SL' sockliner for maximum speed or the 'Comfort' sockliner for added cushioning. Simply remove the pre-inserted sockliner and replace it with your preferred option.
  2. Lacing: Utilize the traditional lace closure to achieve a secure and customized fit. Ensure laces are tied snugly but not overly tight to allow for natural foot movement.
  3. Break-In Period: Like most high-performance football boots, a short break-in period may be beneficial to allow the materials to conform to your foot shape.

Compatibility

  • Pitch Type: These boots are exclusively designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches, which are natural grass surfaces that are dry and firm. Using them on artificial grass (AG), soft ground (SG), or indoor surfaces is not recommended and may damage the boots or affect performance.
  • Age/Gender: Designed for adult players and suitable for unisex use.

Care

  1. Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and mud using a soft brush or damp cloth. For tougher stains on the HybridTouch upper, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth, then wipe clean.
  2. Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources, or tumble dryers, as these can damage the materials. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  3. Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures. Consider using a boot bag for protection during transport.
  4. Lacquer Wear: Please note that the silver lacquer finish on the bottom of the soleplate is designed to wear off during play. This is purely cosmetic and does not affect the performance, durability, or integrity of the boot.
