Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These boots are designed for immediate play. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably. Adjusting the laces will help achieve the optimal lockdown provided by the TechKnit eyestays and 360Wrap.
Compatibility:
The Nike Tiempo Maestro Elite FG are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) football pitches. These are typically natural grass pitches that are moderately dry and firm. They are not recommended for use on artificial grass, soft ground, or hard, artificial surfaces, as the stud configuration may not provide optimal traction and could lead to discomfort or injury.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth. For tougher dirt, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or solvents.
- Drying: Stuff boots with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag to protect them from dust and damage. Ensure they are completely dry before storing.
- Material Care: The TechLeather upper should be kept clean to maintain its soft touch. Avoid excessive exposure to water, and if they do get wet, ensure they are dried thoroughly as per the drying instructions.
