FAQs
What type of pitch are these boots best suited for?
These boots are designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches, which typically refers to natural grass surfaces that are relatively dry and well-maintained.
Are these boots suitable for players with wide feet?
The Tiempo line generally offers a comfortable fit, and the leather upper will adapt over time. However, individual fit can vary. It's recommended to try them on if possible.
How often should I clean my football boots?
It's best to clean your boots after every use to remove dirt and debris. This helps maintain their condition and prolong their lifespan.
Can I wash these boots in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and shape of the boots.
What does 'LE' in the product name signify?
'LE' often indicates a Limited Edition version, suggesting unique colourways or specific design elements compared to the standard model.
How long is the typical lifespan of these football boots?
The lifespan depends heavily on usage frequency, pitch conditions, and care. With proper maintenance, elite boots can last a season or more for regular players.
Does the 'Metallic Red Bronze Rose Gold' colourway affect performance?
No, the colourway is purely aesthetic and does not impact the performance features of the football boots.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight
Wear the boots with your usual football socks for a short period to allow the leather to stretch and mold to your foot. If still too tight, consider exchanging for a half-size larger if within the return policy.
Traction is poor on wet grass
FG (Firm Ground) boots are not optimized for very wet or muddy conditions. For such pitches, consider a soft ground (SG) boot. Ensure studs are clean and free of debris.
Leather upper feels stiff
Apply a dedicated leather conditioner and work the material gently. Wear the boots for short periods to help break them in gradually.
Studs are damaged or worn
Inspect studs regularly. If severely worn or broken, it's time to consider replacing the boots as performance and safety can be compromised.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure they are the correct size by trying them on with your usual football socks. The lacing system allows for customization of the fit.
Compatibility: Primarily designed for Firm Ground (FG) natural grass pitches. Avoid use on artificial grass, hard surfaces, or in excessively wet conditions, as this can damage the studs and affect performance.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid washing machines or harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, away from direct sunlight.
- Leather Care: Consider using a leather conditioner periodically to keep the upper supple and prevent cracking.
