FAQs
How do I ensure I order the correct UK size?
Please refer to the UK size indicated on the product. It is crucial to try the shoes on before returning them, as the packaging may display US or EU sizing which differs.
Can these trainers be used for sports other than football?
These trainers are specifically designed for football performance and training. While they offer good support, they may not be optimized for the specific demands of other sports.
How often should I clean my Messi Trainers?
It is recommended to clean them after each significant use, especially after playing on muddy or dusty pitches, to maintain their condition and performance.
What is the best way to store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Using the original box or a shoe bag can help protect them.
Will the leather upper stretch over time?
Yes, quality leather materials tend to mold to the shape of the foot with use, providing a more personalized and comfortable fit.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The trainers are not explicitly waterproof. While the leather may offer some resistance to light moisture, they are not designed for use in heavy rain or wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect.
Ensure you are comparing against the UK size. Try the shoes on indoors before use. If still incorrect, check the return policy of the retailer.
Traction is poor on wet surfaces.
The rubber outsole provides good traction, but performance can be reduced on extremely wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud and debris.
Leather upper feels stiff.
New leather can feel stiff. Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to break them in. Consistent use during training will also help soften the leather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no assembly. Simply unbox them and lace them up. It is highly recommended to try them on indoors on a clean surface before wearing them outdoors to ensure a proper fit and to check for any initial comfort issues. Be mindful that the box or label may display US or European sizing, which can differ from the UK size indicated.
Compatibility: Designed primarily for use on football pitches (grass or artificial turf) and for training. They are not intended for casual walking or running on hard surfaces like pavement, as this can reduce outsole durability and traction.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and grime from the leather and synthetic materials. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Use a brush to remove mud and debris from the rubber outsole. If necessary, a damp cloth can be used for a more thorough clean.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid placing them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and damage.
