Nike Tiempo Maestro Elite FG - White/Black - UK 12.5

The TechLeather upper provides a softer, lighter feel, offers a more consistent touch in both wet and dry conditions, and is designed to resist stretching, maintaining its shape and fit over time.

No, the Nike Tiempo Maestro Elite FG boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) natural grass pitches. Using them on artificial grass can lead to reduced traction, uneven wear, and potential damage to the stud configuration.

The 360Wrap extends the upper further around the boot, providing a more encompassing lockdown. This enhances stability and control, giving players more confidence to execute quick movements and tricks.

The split soleplate is engineered for optimal torsional flex and responsiveness. It allows the boot to move more naturally with the foot, facilitating effortless multidirectional traction and explosive power shifts.

Wipe the upper with a damp cloth after removing dirt with a soft brush. Allow them to air dry naturally away from heat sources. Avoid machine washing or soaking.

The Tiempo Maestro range is endorsed by professional players such as Jamal Musiala, Phil Foden, Arda Guler, Catarina Macario, and Estevao.

While TechLeather offers some benefits of leather, it's engineered to be lighter and resist stretching more than traditional leather. The overall fit, with the 360Wrap and TechKnit collar, is designed to be more adaptive and glove-like.

The TechLeather and TechKnit construction may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short training sessions initially. Ensure laces are tied appropriately to balance lockdown and comfort. If discomfort persists, consider if the UK 12.5 size is the correct fit for your foot.

Ensure the boots are being used on their intended surface (firm ground natural grass). Check the studs for any debris or wear. Clean the studs thoroughly before each use.

The TechLeather material is designed for minimal stretch. If significant stretching occurs, ensure the boots are not being over-exposed to heat or moisture during drying. Check for any manufacturing defects.

The cushioned sockliner provides comfort, but a break-in period might be necessary. Ensure the boots are the correct size; too small a boot can exacerbate pressure points from the soleplate.
