FAQs
What type of playing surface are these boots suitable for?
These adidas F50 Elite x Messi FG boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches. Using them on other surfaces like artificial grass or soft ground is not recommended and may cause damage.
What is the benefit of the 'burrito tongue'?
The burrito tongue is a knit design preferred by Lionel Messi. It allows for a slightly wider fit and provides a secure, locked-down feel, adapting comfortably to various foot shapes while enhancing overall comfort and support.
How do I choose between the two included sockliners?
The SL (Superlight) sockliner is for players prioritizing pure speed and a minimal feel. The Comfort sockliner offers extra impact absorption and cushioning, which is beneficial for prolonged play or if you prefer a softer feel underfoot.
Are these boots lightweight?
Yes, these boots are designed to be extremely lightweight, weighing approximately 190g. This contributes to enhanced speed and reduces fatigue during high-intensity play.
How should I clean my adidas F50 Elite x Messi FG boots?
Clean the soleplate with a soft brush to remove mud and wipe the HybridTouch upper with a damp cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid machine washing, harsh chemicals, or direct heat sources.
What does 'HybridTouch upper' mean?
HybridTouch refers to the synthetic suede and foil material used for the boot's upper. It's engineered to be lightweight, offer soft haptic texturing for ball control, and provide structural support with its moulded 3Stripes.
Are these boots made with recycled materials?
Yes, these boots are made with at least 20% recycled materials, reflecting a commitment to sustainability.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable around the midfoot.
The burrito tongue is designed for a secure fit. Try loosening the laces more generously across the midfoot. If you are using the SL sockliner, consider switching to the Comfort sockliner, which might provide a slightly different internal fit or feel.
Lack of grip or feeling unstable on the pitch.
Confirm you are playing on a true Firm Ground (FG) surface. These boots are not designed for soft ground or artificial turf. Also, check the soleplate for any mud buildup that could be obscuring the studs and affecting traction. Clean thoroughly if necessary.
Foot discomfort or pressure points during play.
Switch to the Comfort sockliner if you are currently using the SL version. Ensure your laces are not overtightened, especially in specific areas. It's also possible the boots require a short break-in period for the HybridTouch upper to fully conform to your foot.
Upper material appears to be wearing quickly.
Ensure you are cleaning the boots gently after each use, removing dirt and debris without harsh scrubbing or chemicals. Always air dry them away from direct heat. Playing on surfaces other than firm ground can also accelerate wear on the upper and soleplate.
Difficult to achieve quick cuts or agile movements.
While the Sprintframe 360 is designed for agility, ensure your laces are securely fastened to prevent foot slippage inside the boot. Practice movements to allow the soleplate's rounded studs to work optimally with your natural foot mechanics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
- Lace Adjustment: The boots feature a traditional lace closure. Adjust laces for a snug yet comfortable fit, ensuring your foot is secure without excessive pressure.
- Sockliner Choice: Before your first use, decide which sockliner best suits your needs. Insert the SL sockliner for a focus on pure speed and a minimal feel, or swap in the Comfort sockliner for enhanced impact absorption and cushioning. Experiment with both during light training to find your preference.
Compatibility
- These boots are designed specifically for Firm Ground (FG) pitches. Using them on artificial grass (AG), soft ground (SG), or indoor surfaces can lead to premature wear, damage to the soleplate, and may void any warranty.
- Ensure the ground is firm and natural for optimal grip and performance from the Sprintframe 360 soleplate.
Care Instructions
Proper care extends the life and performance of your boots:
- Cleaning after Use: After each use, remove any mud or debris from the soleplate and upper. Use a soft brush for the soleplate and a damp cloth for the HybridTouch upper. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
- 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 and cause cracking.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using boot trees or stuffing them with newspaper to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Submerging: Do not submerge the boots in water or put them in a washing machine, as this can degrade materials and adhesives.
- Recycled Materials: While made with recycled content, these materials require the same care as traditional synthetic boots to ensure longevity.
