FAQs
What type of playing surface are these boots designed for?
These adidas F50 Elite x Messi boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG), which means natural grass pitches that are dry and firm.
Are these boots suitable for artificial grass (AG) pitches?
No, these boots are not recommended for artificial grass. Using FG boots on AG surfaces can damage the boots and may void the warranty, as well as compromise your grip and safety.
What is the benefit of having two different sockliners?
The two included sockliners (SL and Comfort) allow you to customize your boot's feel. The `SL` sockliner is for a lightweight, direct feel enhancing speed, while the `Comfort` sockliner provides extra cushioning and impact absorption for sustained play.
Will the blue and yellow colors fade over time?
While the overall color fastness is good, the lacquer finish on the bottom of the soleplate may wear off during play. This is a cosmetic effect and does not impact the boot's performance or durability.
What is `HybridTouch`?
`HybridTouch` refers to the upper material, which is a synthetic suede and foil combination with soft haptic texturing. It's engineered to provide exceptional ball feel, control, and a comfortable fit.
How much do these boots weigh?
The adidas F50 Elite x Messi FG boots weigh approximately 190g, making them very lightweight for speed and acceleration.
Are these boots environmentally friendly?
Yes, these boots are made with at least 20% recycled materials, contributing to adidas' efforts towards sustainability.
Troubleshooting
The lacquer finish on the sole is wearing off.
This is a normal cosmetic occurrence with these boots and is explicitly mentioned by adidas. It does not affect the boot's performance, durability, or structural integrity. Continue using the boots as intended.
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you've completed a short break-in period. Also, try switching to the `Comfort` sockliner if you are currently using the `SL` sockliner. Adjust the lace closure to find a more accommodating fit, as the `burrito tongue` is designed to offer flexibility.
Lack of grip on the playing surface.
These boots are designed exclusively for Firm Ground (FG). Ensure you are playing on a suitable surface. If the ground is too soft, wet, or artificial, the studs will not provide optimal traction. Clean the soleplate thoroughly to remove any mud or debris that might be impacting grip.
Boots feel too heavy or less responsive than expected.
Ensure you are using the `SL` (speed-lightweight) sockliner if maximum responsiveness and a lighter feel are your priority. Also, check that the boots are clean and free of excessive mud, which can add weight.
Upper material feels stiff.
The `HybridTouch` upper will soften and mold to your foot over a short break-in period. Consistent use during light training will help the material become more pliable and comfortable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Choose Your Sockliner: Upon unboxing, decide whether to use the `SL` sockliner for a direct, lightweight feel, or the `Comfort` sockliner for extra cushioning. Insert your chosen sockliner firmly into each boot.
- Lace Up: Secure the `lace closure` to achieve a snug, comfortable fit. The `burrito tongue` is designed to conform to your foot, so adjust lacing to your preference.
- Break-in Period: Like all new football boots, a short break-in period is recommended. Wear them during light training sessions or walks to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape before full-intensity play.
Compatibility
- Surface: These boots are strictly designed for Firm Ground (FG) surfaces. This typically refers to natural grass pitches that are dry and firm. Using them on artificial grass (AG) or soft ground (SG) may damage the boots and compromise performance and safety.
- Fit: The Messi edition features a `burrito tongue` which is tailored for a slightly wider fit compared to standard F50 models, accommodating various foot shapes while providing a secure lock-down.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the `HybridTouch` upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Soleplate Care: Clean the `Sprintframe 360` soleplate and studs with a brush to remove mud and grass. This ensures optimal traction for the next use.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using a boot bag to protect them during transport.
- Lacquer Wear: Please note that the lacquer finish on the bottom of this boot may wear off during play. This is a normal cosmetic effect and will not affect the performance or durability of the product.
