FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the FlyTouch upper?
The FlyTouch synthetic upper provides a soft, natural touch on the ball, enhancing control and feel in both wet and dry conditions.
Are these boots suitable for all types of football pitches?
These boots are designed for Firm Ground (FG) and Multi-Ground (MG) surfaces, which includes most natural grass and modern artificial grass pitches. They are not recommended for very hard or soft ground conditions.
How do I clean my Tiempo Maestro boots?
Clean the boots with a soft brush or damp cloth after each use to remove dirt. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
What does 'FG MG' mean on these boots?
'FG MG' indicates that the boots are suitable for both Firm Ground (FG) natural grass pitches and Multi-Ground (MG) artificial grass pitches.
How long will it take for the boots to break in?
The break-in period can vary but typically involves wearing the boots indoors for short sessions for a few hours. The FlyTouch upper is designed for comfort and responsiveness relatively quickly.
Can I use these boots for indoor futsal?
No, these FG/MG boots are not designed for indoor futsal courts. For indoor play, you would need specific indoor court shoes (IC) or futsal shoes.

The Tiempo Maestro range is endorsed by professional players such as Jamal Musiala, Phil Foden, Arda Guler, Catarina Macario, and Estevao.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight during initial wear
This is normal as the FlyTouch upper is designed to offer a snug, glove-like fit. Wear them indoors for short periods to allow them to break in and mold to your feet. Avoid prolonged initial wear until they feel comfortable.
Traction feels inconsistent on the pitch
Ensure the studs are clean and free from debris, as mud or grass can affect grip. Verify that you are using the boots on the appropriate pitch type (firm or multi-ground). If using on artificial grass, check that the pitch is not excessively worn.
Laces are difficult to keep tied securely
Ensure laces are tied with a secure knot. If the laces are slippery, consider replacing them with a more textured pair designed for athletic footwear.
Discomfort around the ankle area
The knitted tongue and adaptive fit are designed for a secure feel. Ensure the laces are tied appropriately, not too tight or too loose. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, check for any internal stitching or seam issues.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup:
Try On: Ensure the boots fit snugly but comfortably. There should be no excessive pressure points.
Wear Indoors: It is recommended to wear the boots indoors for a short period to allow them to mold to your feet before the first outdoor use.
Compatibility:
Pitch Type: These boots are classified as FG/MG (Firm Ground / Multi-Ground). They are designed for use on modern artificial grass pitches and can also perform well on firm, natural grass pitches.
Avoid: Do not use these boots on hard surfaces like concrete or asphalt, as this can damage the soleplate and studs.
Care Instructions:
Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt and mud with a soft brush or a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the boots.
Drying: Stuff the boots with newspaper or a dry towel to absorb moisture and help them retain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, to protect them from damage and dust.
