FAQs
What type of playing surface are these boots suitable for?
These adidas F50 Elite x Messi boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches. This means natural grass fields that are dry and firm.
What is the purpose of the two different sockliners?
The boots come with two sockliners: the SL (Super Light) sockliner is for players who want maximum speed and a lightweight feel, while the Comfort sockliner offers enhanced impact absorption for longer-lasting comfort during matches.
Is it normal for the blue soleplate lacquer to wear off?
Yes, it is entirely normal for the blue lacquer finish on the bottom of the soleplate to wear off during play. This is a cosmetic effect and does not affect the performance or durability of the product.
How should I clean and care for my F50 Elite x Messi boots?
After each use, brush off loose dirt and wipe with a damp cloth. Remove the insoles to air dry separately, and always allow the boots to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat.
Are these boots suitable for players with slightly wider feet?
Yes, the boots feature a knit burrito tongue which provides a slightly wider fit compared to some traditional boot constructions, potentially offering better comfort for those with wider feet.
What does 'HybridTouch upper' mean?
The HybridTouch upper refers to the synthetic material used on the boot's upper. It's engineered to provide a soft yet structured feel, offering both support and an improved touch on the ball for better control.
How much do these boots weigh?
These boots are designed to be extremely lightweight, weighing approximately 190g (for UK 7.5), contributing to a sensation of speed and agility on the pitch.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you are using the 'Comfort' sockliner if you prioritize cushioning. Allow for a break-in period during light training sessions. The knit burrito tongue offers a slightly wider fit, but fit issues can occur with very wide feet.
Losing grip on the pitch.
Verify that you are playing on a firm ground (FG) surface. These boots are not designed for soft ground or artificial turf. Clean any mud or debris from the studs that might be reducing traction.
The blue lacquer on the soleplate is wearing off.
This is a normal cosmetic occurrence and is explicitly mentioned in the product description. It will not affect the performance, grip, or durability of the boots. Continue to use them with confidence.
Boots feel heavy or less responsive than expected.
Make sure you are using the 'SL' (Super Light) sockliner for pure speed. The 'Comfort' sockliner adds a bit more cushioning and negligible weight, but the SL is optimized for minimal feel. Also, ensure boots are dry, as water absorption can add weight.
Unusual squeaking noise during play.
This can sometimes occur between the sockliner and the boot base, especially when new. Try sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder beneath the sockliner to reduce friction. Ensure the sockliner is correctly seated.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Choose Your Sockliner: Before your first use, decide which sockliner best suits your playing style. Insert the SL sockliner for maximum speed and a minimal feel, or the Comfort sockliner for added cushioning and impact absorption.
- Lacing: Ensure boots are laced securely but not overly tight. A proper fit ensures optimal ball control and prevents foot slippage.
- Break-In Period: While designed for immediate comfort, a short break-in period (1-2 light training sessions) may help the boots conform perfectly to your feet.
Compatibility
- Pitch Type: These boots are exclusively designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches. They are optimized for natural grass surfaces that are dry and firm.
- Avoid Other Surfaces: Using FG boots on artificial grass (AG), soft ground (SG), or indoor surfaces can lead to premature wear of the studs and soleplate, and may compromise grip and player safety.
Care
- Clean After Each Use: After every game or training session, gently brush off loose dirt and mud from the upper and soleplate. Use a damp cloth to wipe down any remaining grime.
- Remove Insole: If wet, remove the chosen sockliner to allow it and the boot interior to dry separately.
- Air Dry: Always air dry your boots in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators), which can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place. Using a boot bag can help protect them from scratches and dust.
- Lacquer Wear: Be aware that the blue lacquer finish on the soleplate may wear off during play. This is a cosmetic effect and does not impact the performance or durability of the boot.
