Full details
These adidas F50 Elite x Messi FG football boots are designed for adult, unisex players seeking to enhance their speed and agility on firm ground pitches.

FAQs
What does 'FG' mean on these football boots?
FG stands for Firm Ground. These boots are designed for use on natural grass pitches that are dry and firm, with minimal mud.
Can I use these boots on artificial grass?
It is not recommended to use Firm Ground (FG) boots on artificial grass (AG) pitches. The stud configuration is different and can lead to reduced performance, increased risk of injury, and potential damage to the boots.
What is the difference between the SL and Comfort sockliners?
The SL sockliner is designed for pure speed and minimal weight, offering less cushioning. The Comfort sockliner provides extra impact absorption for a softer feel and more comfort during play.
How do I clean my adidas F50 Elite boots?
Wipe them with a soft brush or dry cloth to remove dirt. Use a damp cloth for stubborn dirt. Avoid harsh cleaners and dry them naturally away from heat.
Do these boots come in other colors or sizes?
Yes, the F50 Elite series is available in various colorways and a wide range of sizes. Please check the product listings for available options.
What does the 'x Messi' in the product name signify?
This signifies a special edition collaboration with Lionel Messi, featuring design elements and preferences tailored to his style of play, such as the burrito tongue and specific colourway inspiration.
Approximately how much do these boots weigh?
The boots weigh approximately 190g, making them a lightweight option designed for speed.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or constricting.
Loosen the laces and ensure the sockliner is properly seated. Try the Comfort sockliner if you are using the SL, or vice-versa. The burrito tongue design can also be adjusted for a slightly wider fit.
The soleplate lacquer is peeling off.
This is a normal cosmetic wear-and-tear effect from playing on firm ground and does not impact the performance of the boot. Continue using as normal.
Reduced traction on the pitch.
Ensure the firm ground studs are clean and free from mud or debris. Check if the pitch conditions match the intended use for Firm Ground (FG) boots.
Discomfort in the heel area.
Verify that the external heel counter is not being obstructed by the sockliner. Ensure laces are tied correctly, providing support without excessive tightness. Try the alternative sockliner for a different fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Initial Setup:
- Unbox the boots and identify the two included sockliners: the SL (Speed/Light) and the Comfort.
- Choose the sockliner that best suits your preference for speed or cushioning.
- Insert the chosen sockliner into the boot. Ensure it lies flat and fits snugly.
- Adjust the lacing to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. The burrito tongue allows for a slightly wider adjustment.
Compatibility:
- These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) football pitches. They are best suited for natural grass fields that are dry and not excessively muddy.
- Avoid using these boots on Artificial Grass (AG), hard ground, or very wet, muddy pitches, as this can affect performance and potentially damage the studs or soleplate.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt and mud using a soft brush or a dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight) as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
- Soleplate Lacquer: Be aware that the lacquer finish on the bottom of the boot may wear off during play. This is a cosmetic effect and does not compromise the performance or integrity of the soleplate.
