FAQs
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
The F50 Messi Elite features a regular, performance-oriented fit. The adaptable burrito tongue helps with foot shape variation, but they are generally designed for a streamlined, athletic profile.
Can I use these on artificial grass?
These are designed for Firm Ground (FG). While they may provide traction on newer artificial turf, it is recommended to use boots specifically designed for Artificial Grass (AG) to ensure durability and proper traction.
How do I ensure the best fit for my child?
Measure the feet while wearing the socks they intend to play in. Allow for about a thumb's width of space at the toe to ensure comfort during growth spurts.
What does the '360' in Sprintplate 360 mean?
It refers to the multidirectional design of the outsole, providing support and grip whether you are moving forward, backward, or laterally.
Are these boots machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the synthetic materials and the adhesives used in the soleplate. Always clean by hand.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone during play
Double-knot the laces or ensure they are pulled evenly across all eyelets for a more secure lock.
Boots feel slippery on wet grass
Check the outsole for mud buildup. Clean the cleats thoroughly to restore grip, and consider using dedicated soft-ground boots if conditions are excessively wet.
Material scuffing on the upper
Minor surface scuffs are normal for performance boots. Keep the upper clean to prevent dirt from grinding into the texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your boots stay in top condition:
- Fitting: The boots feature a regular fit with a standard lacing system. Ensure laces are tied securely but not so tight that they restrict circulation.
- Surface Compatibility: These are Firm Ground (FG) boots. Do not use them on artificial turf (AG) or soft, muddy ground, as this may lead to premature wear or traction issues.
- Cleaning: After play, gently remove excess dirt and mud with a soft brush. Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Do not machine wash or use harsh chemicals.
- Storage: Allow boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from hardening or cracking.
