FAQs
Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?
No, these are Firm Ground (FG) boots designed specifically for dry, natural grass. Using them on artificial surfaces may cause excessive wear.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth after use. Avoid submerging them in water or using abrasive cleaners.
Do I need to size up for the Tiempo Maestro Elite?
The leather upper provides an adaptive fit that will stretch slightly. Most players find their standard size is the best fit, but it should feel snug initially.
What is the purpose of the Maestro360 plate?
It is designed to wrap around the foot to create a consistent, locked-in feel that mimics the shape of your foot for improved stability.
Can I use these in the rain?
While they can handle damp grass, avoid soaking conditions. Always ensure they are cleaned and dried properly afterward to maintain the leather quality.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight during the first few wears
Leather tends to stretch and mold to your feet over time; try wearing them for shorter periods during practice sessions to break them in gradually.
Mud accumulation on the outsole
Use a soft-bristled brush to clear dirt from between the studs after the mud has dried, ensuring your traction remains consistent for the next match.
Leather feels stiff after drying
Gently massage a small amount of leather conditioner into the upper after cleaning to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your boots last, it is essential to follow proper care protocols. After every session on the pitch, wipe off any mud or grass residue using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or washing machines, as these can compromise the integrity of the leather. Allow your boots to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to crack. Because these boots utilize a firm ground (FG) outsole, they are strictly compatible with natural grass pitches; using them on artificial grass or concrete will lead to premature wear and potential stud damage.
