FAQs
What is the main advantage of the Sprintframe 360 soleplate?
The Sprintframe 360 soleplate is designed to provide exceptional acceleration and allow for quick, agile cuts on the pitch, enabling faster transitions and reactions.
Can I use these boots on artificial grass?
No, these are Firm Ground (FG) boots specifically designed for natural grass. Using them on artificial or hard surfaces is not recommended and may cause damage or affect performance.
What's the difference between the two included sockliners?
The SL sockliner is designed for maximum lightness and a direct feel, ideal for pure speed. The Comfort sockliner offers enhanced cushioning and impact absorption for a softer feel during play.
How do I clean my F50 Elite x Messi boots?
After play, brush off dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth. If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and direct heat for drying. Allow them to air dry naturally.
What does the 'x Messi' in the product name signify?
It indicates a special collaboration with Lionel Messi, featuring design elements and colorways inspired by his preferences and style, alongside the F50's performance features.
How heavy are these boots?
The F50 Elite x Messi FG boots weigh approximately 190 grams, making them very lightweight to aid speed and agility.
Will the lacquer on the sole wear off?
Yes, the lacquer finish on the soleplate may wear off during normal play. This is a cosmetic effect and does not affect the performance or integrity of the boots.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable, especially around the midfoot.
Experiment with both the SL and Comfort sockliners. Ensure laces are not over-tightened. The burrito tongue may require a break-in period; try wearing them for shorter periods initially.
Reduced grip on firm ground.
Ensure the pitch conditions match the boot's intended use (firm ground). Clean the studs to remove any debris that might be hindering grip. Check for any unusual wear on the soleplate.
The burrito tongue feels awkward or shifts during play.
Ensure the laces are adequately tightened to secure the tongue in place. Consistent wear should help the tongue conform to the foot's shape.
Visible wear on the soleplate's lacquer finish.
This is a normal cosmetic effect of playing on firm ground and does not impact the boot's performance or durability. Continue to use the boots as intended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

- The lace closure allows for a customized fit. Tighten laces to your comfort level, paying attention to the burrito tongue's wrap.
Compatibility:

- Not recommended for use on artificial grass, hard ground, or wet, muddy pitches, as this can affect performance and potentially damage the soleplate.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources such as radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag, away from direct sunlight.
