FAQs
What does 'FG' mean?
FG stands for 'Firm Ground'. These boots are specifically designed for use on natural grass pitches that are firm and dry.
Can I use these boots on artificial turf?
No, these boots are not recommended for artificial turf. Using FG boots on artificial turf can cause premature wear to the studs and may also lead to discomfort or injury due to the different traction requirements.
What is the weight of the adidas F50 Elite FG boots?
The adidas F50 Elite FG boots weigh approximately 185g, making them a very lightweight option designed for speed.
What is the purpose of the two different sockliners?
The boots include two sockliners: an SL (Superlight) version for a more direct, lightweight feel optimized for pure speed, and a Comfort version which provides additional cushioning and impact absorption for enhanced comfort during play. You can choose the one that best suits your preference.
Is it normal for the soleplate's color/lacquer to wear off?
Yes, it is completely normal for the lacquer finish on the soleplate to wear off during play. This is an aesthetic feature that does not affect the performance or durability of the boot itself.
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
Info needed: While the Fibertouch upper and Compression Fit Tunnel Tongue offer a conforming fit, specific information on suitability for wide feet is not provided. It is generally recommended to try on the boots to assess the fit for your foot shape.
Troubleshooting
Lacquer finish on the soleplate is wearing off quickly.
This is a normal and expected characteristic of the adidas F50 Elite FG boots. The lacquer is an aesthetic finish that wears off during play and does not affect the performance, durability, or functionality of the boot. No action is required.
Boots feel uncomfortable or not responsive enough.
The boots come with two different sockliners: SL (superlight) for speed and Comfort for cushioning. Try swapping the installed sockliner for the other one to see if it improves comfort or responsiveness to your preference. Also, ensure your lacing is adjusted for optimal fit.
Poor grip or slipping on the pitch.
Ensure you are playing on a firm ground (FG) surface, as these boots are specifically designed for this type of pitch. Using them on soft ground, artificial turf, or wet surfaces may lead to inadequate traction. Also, check that the studs are clean and free of mud or debris.
Foot feels too loose or not locked down.
Tighten your laces, paying attention to how the Compression Fit Tunnel Tongue wraps your foot. Experiment with different lacing patterns that provide more lockdown across the midfoot and around the ankle area. Ensure your socks are not too thin, which could contribute to slippage.

- Sockliner Selection: Before your first use, decide which sockliner best suits your playing style. The 'SL' (Superlight) sockliner is ideal for maximum speed and responsiveness, while the 'Comfort' sockliner offers additional cushioning and impact absorption. Simply remove the installed sockliner and replace it with your preferred option.
Compatibility
- These boots are designed exclusively for Firm Ground (FG) football pitches. This includes natural grass surfaces that are dry and firm. Using them on artificial turf (AG), soft ground (SG), or indoor surfaces may compromise performance, traction, and durability.
Care
- Cleaning after Use: After each use, remove loose dirt and mud using a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Drying: Allow the 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.
- Lacquer Wear: Be aware that the lacquer finish on the bottom of the soleplate is designed to wear off during play. This is purely aesthetic and does not impact the performance or durability of the boot. No special care is required for this aspect.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag to protect them from dust and debris.
