Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your Nike Tiempo Legend 10 Elite AG boots are ready to wear right out of the box. Simply lace them up securely to achieve a snug and comfortable fit. For optimal comfort, especially with new leather boots, consider wearing them for short periods during initial training sessions to allow the leather to mold to your foot.
Compatibility
These boots are exclusively designed for Artificial Ground (AG) pitches. Their stud pattern and material construction are optimized for synthetic turf. Do not use these boots on natural grass (firm ground, soft ground), indoor courts, or hard ground surfaces. Using them on incompatible surfaces will negatively affect performance, comfort, and significantly reduce the lifespan of the boots while potentially damaging the playing surface.
Care Instructions
- Clean After Each Use: Remove excess dirt and debris from the upper and outsole using a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Wipe Down the Upper: For the leather upper, gently wipe with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner designed for football boots. Allow to air dry naturally.
- Dry Properly: After cleaning or playing in wet conditions, stuff the boots with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry at room temperature; avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators) as this can damage the leather.
- Store Correctly: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures. Consider using a boot bag to protect them during transport.
- Condition Leather (Optional): Periodically, apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking, especially in dry climates. Follow the conditioner manufacturer's instructions.
