Product Information
Full details
Designed for adult players seeking enhanced speed and agility on firm ground pitches, the adidas F50 Elite x Messi FG football boots offer a lightweight design tailored for explosive acceleration and decisive cuts. A key benefit is the Sprintframe 360 soleplate engineered for quick directional changes. One caveat is that the lacquer finish on the soleplate may wear off during play, though this does not impact performance. Key features include a HybridTouch upper for a soft feel, a burrito tongue for a potentially wider fit, and two included sockliners for customizable comfort and speed.

FAQs
What is the main difference between the two included sockliners?
The SL sockliner is designed for pure speed and a more direct feel with the ball and ground. The Comfort sockliner offers increased impact absorption and cushioning for enhanced comfort during longer play or for players who experience more jarring impacts.
Can these boots be used on artificial grass?
No, these are Firm Ground (FG) boots and are specifically designed for natural grass pitches. Using them on artificial grass can damage the studs and reduce performance.
How should I clean my F50 Elite boots?
Clean with a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What does the 'x Messi' designation mean?
It signifies that these boots are part of a collaboration with Lionel Messi, incorporating design elements and features tailored to his preferences and playing style.
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
The burrito tongue is designed to offer a slightly wider fit than a traditional tongue construction. However, fit can vary by individual. It is recommended to try them on if possible.
What is the approximate weight of the F50 Elite FG boots?
The boots weigh approximately 190g, contributing to their lightweight feel and enabling agility.
Do the boots contain recycled materials?
Yes, the boots are made with at least 20% recycled materials in their construction.
Troubleshooting
Lacquer on soleplate is wearing off.
This is a cosmetic effect and does not impact the performance or structural integrity of the boot. Continue using as normal.
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct sockliner. Try swapping to the alternate sockliner. Adjust lacing to achieve a more relaxed fit, or consider if the boot size is appropriate.
Traction is poor on the pitch.
Confirm you are using the boots on appropriate firm ground (FG) surfaces. If the pitch is wet or soft, these boots may not provide optimal grip. Clean the studs of any mud or debris.
Material feels stiff after initial wear.
The HybridTouch upper is designed to offer a premium feel. Continue to wear the boots during play; they will soften and adapt to your foot shape over time with use.
