Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Using your new Nike Tiempo Legend 10 Elite FG boots is straightforward:
- Break-in Period: While FlyTouch Lite leather is designed for quick adaptation, a short break-in period is recommended. Wear them for light training sessions initially to allow the leather to fully mold to your foot.
- Lacing: Ensure laces are securely tied to provide a snug, supportive fit without being overly tight, which could restrict circulation.
Compatibility
These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches. This means they are optimal for natural grass fields that are dry to slightly damp. Using them on Artificial Grass (AG), Soft Ground (SG), or Indoor (IC) surfaces is not recommended as it can compromise performance, durability, and potentially lead to injury.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your boots:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe off dirt and debris with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher mud, use a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help maintain their shape and absorb residual moisture.
- Leather Care: As the upper is made of FlyTouch Lite leather, consider using a leather conditioner periodically (refer to the product label for specific recommendations) to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Always refer to the product label for specific care instructions.
