FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the TechLeather is durable and handles damp conditions well, it is not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to extreme wet conditions can affect the leather over time.
Can I use these on artificial grass?
These are Firm Ground (FG) boots optimized for natural grass. Using them on artificial grass (AG) may cause excessive wear on the studs and voids the warranty.
How should I clean the leather?
Use a soft brush or cloth to remove surface dirt, then wipe down with a damp cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally.
What is the best way to maintain the fit?
Using shoe trees after play is the best way to prevent the leather from losing its shape while it dries.
Does the size run true?
The Tiempo Maestro Elite generally fits true to size, but the leather will stretch slightly to accommodate your foot after a few wears.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff out of the box
This is normal for leather boots. Gently flex the soleplate by hand and wear them during light training sessions to speed up the break-in process.
Leather looks dry or dull after washing
Apply a small amount of leather-specific conditioner to maintain the material's suppleness and water resistance.
Studs collecting mud during play
Ensure you are using the boots only on appropriate natural grass surfaces. Avoid using on surfaces with thick, sticky mud as this will impede traction.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Tiempo Maestro Elite boots last, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear them for short sessions initially to allow the leather to naturally mold to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: After every match, wipe off mud with a soft, damp cloth. Do not submerge in water or use harsh chemical cleaners.
- Drying: Air dry the boots at room temperature. Never use a radiator, hairdryer, or direct sunlight, as excessive heat will cause the leather to crack and lose its flexibility.
- Storage: Use cedar shoe trees or crumpled newspaper inside the boots when stored to help them retain their shape.
- Compatibility: These are Firm Ground (FG) boots, designed specifically for natural grass pitches.
