Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure the boots are laced securely but comfortably. Experiment with different lacing patterns to find the optimal fit that locks your foot in place without creating pressure points.
- Break-in Period: Like most high-performance boots, the Tiempo Legend 10 Elite FG may require a short break-in period. Wear them for a few light training sessions before a full match to allow them to mold to your feet.
Compatibility
These boots are designed exclusively for Firm Ground (FG) pitches, which are natural grass surfaces that are typically dry or slightly damp. Do not use these boots on artificial grass (AG), turf (TF), or indoor (IC) surfaces. Using FG studs on inappropriate surfaces can lead to injury, damage to the boots, and void any warranty. Always check the pitch type before play.
Care
- Cleaning After Use: Immediately after each use, clean off any dirt or mud. Use a soft brush or cloth and lukewarm water. For stubborn mud, a mild soap can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdry, as this can damage the materials and cause cracking or shrinking.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using boot trees or stuffing them with newspaper to help maintain their shape.
- Stud Inspection: Regularly check the studs for wear and tear. If studs become significantly worn, they may compromise traction.
