FAQs
What is the main advantage of the F50 Elite SG boots?
The main advantage is their focus on speed and agility, achieved through lightweight materials, an aerodynamic design, and a soleplate optimized for quick movements on soft ground.
Can I use these boots on artificial grass?
No, these boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches. Using them on artificial grass or firm ground can cause damage to the boot and may affect traction and player safety.
How do I choose between the SL and Comfort sockliners?
The SL sockliner is designed for maximum lightness and a close-to-the-ball feel, ideal for players prioritizing pure speed. The Comfort sockliner provides extra cushioning and impact absorption for players who prefer more support during play.
What does 'Sprintframe 360' refer to?
Sprintframe 360 refers to the soleplate technology. It's designed to provide a stable yet flexible platform that allows for rapid acceleration and dynamic movement in all directions.
Is the wear on the soleplate lacquer a defect?
No, the product information states that the lacquer finish on the bottom of the boot may wear off during play but will not affect the performance of the product. It is a cosmetic aspect related to the boot's intended use.
What does SG stand for?
SG stands for Soft Ground, indicating that the boot is designed for optimal performance on pitches with softer, potentially muddy surfaces.
Are these boots suitable for all adult players?
Yes, these boots are suitable for adult players who play on soft ground and prioritize speed, agility, and lightweight performance. Endorsed by professional athletes, they are designed for serious play.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Experiment with the two included sockliners (SL and Comfort) to find the best fit. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly, not overtightening the Compression Fit Tunnel Tongue.
Traction feels poor on the pitch
Confirm you are using the boots on appropriate soft ground surfaces. Ensure the studs are clean and free of mud or debris. Check for any visible damage to the soleplate or studs.
Wear appearing on the bottom of the soleplate
This is expected due to the nature of the lacquer finish on soft ground boots and does not affect performance. Continue to use as normal.
Upper material feels stiff
The Fibertouch upper is designed to be lightweight and streamlined. Some initial stiffness is normal and will reduce with wear as the material conforms to your foot.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional for acceleration and straight-line speed.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unpack your F50 Elite SG boots and the included sockliners.
- Select the sockliner that best suits your needs: the SL for maximum lightness or the Comfort for added cushioning.
- Insert the chosen sockliner into the boot.
- Lace the boots to your preferred tightness using the Compression Fit Tunnel Tongue system for a secure fit.
Compatibility:
- These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) football pitches. This typically includes natural grass pitches that are wet, muddy, or have been recently maintained.
- They are not recommended for use on firm, artificial, or hard ground surfaces, as this can lead to premature wear and potential injury.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or cloth. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the upper. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a breathable bag, to maintain their shape and material integrity.
