FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Sprintframe 360 soleplate?
The Sprintframe 360 soleplate is designed to enhance agility by providing optimal traction for quick cuts and changes of direction, allowing for rapid acceleration and decisive movements on the pitch.
What is the purpose of the burrito tongue?
The burrito tongue is a design feature that wraps around the foot, offering a more secure and adaptable fit. It can accommodate slightly wider feet and provides a snug feel preferred by Lionel Messi.
Can I use these boots on artificial grass?
These are Firm Ground (FG) boots, best suited for natural grass pitches. Using them on artificial grass is not recommended as it can lead to premature wear and potentially affect performance and safety.
What's the difference between the two included sockliners?
The boots come with an SL (Speed) sockliner for a more direct feel and maximum speed, and a Comfort sockliner for enhanced impact absorption and cushioning.
How much do these boots weigh?
The adidas F50 Elite x Messi FG football boots weigh approximately 190 grams, making them very lightweight for enhanced speed and agility.
Are these boots made with recycled materials?
Yes, the boots are made with at least 20% recycled materials, contributing to adidas's commitment to sustainability.
Will the lacquer on the bottom of the boot affect its performance?
No, the lacquer finish on the bottom of the boot is primarily aesthetic. While it may wear off during play, it will not affect the performance or functionality of the boot.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Experiment with the two included sockliners (SL and Comfort) to find the best fit. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly, utilizing the burrito tongue for a potentially wider fit if needed. Allow a break-in period as the HybridTouch upper will adapt to your foot.
Traction feels inconsistent on the pitch.
Confirm you are using the boots on a suitable firm ground (FG) surface. Ensure the studs are free from mud or debris that could hinder grip. If playing on anything other than dry, natural grass, consider alternative boot types.
Lacquer on the soleplate is wearing off.
This is a cosmetic effect and does not impact the performance of the boots. Continue using them as normal; the underlying soleplate functionality remains unaffected.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unbox the boots and select your preferred sockliner (SL for speed or Comfort for cushioning).

Compatibility:

- Not recommended for artificial grass, hard ground, or very wet/muddy conditions, as this may affect performance and durability.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the boots.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, hair dryers) as this can damage the materials.
