These adidas F50 Elite SG football boots are designed for players seeking "explosive speed" and "agile movements" on soft ground. Featuring advanced lightweight technologies like the Fibertouch upper and Sprintframe 360 soleplate, they deliver enhanced acceleration and precise ball control, though the sole's lacquer may wear with use, which is normal and doesn't affect performance.

The adidas F50 Elite SG boots are built for players whose game revolves around blistering pace and sharp, unpredictable movements to outmaneuver opponents. The Fibertouch upper molds to your foot, providing a second-skin feel that allows for maximum agility without excess bulk. When accelerating, the Sprintframe 360 soleplate with its rounded midfoot studs provides the necessary traction for immediate bursts of speed and helps you execute those sudden, angled cuts that leave defenders behind.
Ball control at pace is critical, and the Sprintweb 3D texturing significantly enhances your touch, making intricate dribbles and precise passes possible even at top speed. For example, a winger making a darting run down the flank will find the ball stays closer, enabling accurate crosses or shots. The Compression Fit Tunnel Tongue ensures your foot is securely locked down, providing stability during explosive actions and preventing internal slippage. Whether you prefer the ultimate barefoot-like feel for pure speed or a bit more cushioning for impact, the included dual sockliners allow you to fine-tune the boot to your playing style and comfort needs for each match. These boots excel on soft, natural grass pitches where their stud configuration can properly bite into the ground, making them a weapon for forward-thinking players aiming to terrorize defenses.
Choose Your Sockliner: Before your first use, decide between the "SL" (Super Light) sockliner for a minimalist, speed-focused feel or the "Comfort" sockliner for added cushioning and impact absorption. Simply remove the installed sockliner and insert your preferred option.
Lacing: Ensure the laces are securely and evenly tightened to engage the Compression Fit Tunnel Tongue for optimal lockdown without over-tightening, which can cause discomfort. Experiment to find your preferred tension.
Break-in Period: For optimal comfort and fit, wear the boots during a few light training sessions before a full match. This allows the Fibertouch upper to mold to your foot's unique shape.
Playing Surface: These boots are specifically designed for Soft Ground (SG) pitches. This means natural grass fields that are wet, muddy, or have deeper turf. Using them on firm ground (FG) or artificial turf (AG) can reduce grip, cause discomfort, and accelerate wear.
Sizing: This specific model is a UK 6.5. Refer to adidas's official sizing guide if unsure about your exact fit, as sizing can vary slightly between brands and models.
Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. For tougher mud, use a mild soap solution and rinse gently. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
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 materials. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Lacquer Wear: The lacquer finish on the bottom of the Sprintframe 360 soleplate may wear off during play. This is a normal cosmetic occurrence and does not affect the performance or durability of the product.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag to protect them from dust and damage.
