FAQs
What is the main benefit of the FlyTouch Lite engineered leather?
The FlyTouch Lite engineered leather offers exceptional softness and breathability, leading to superior comfort and a better feel for the ball.
Can I use these boots on artificial grass?
Yes, these Firm Ground (FG) boots can be used on newer artificial grass surfaces. However, they are not ideal for older, worn, or waterlogged artificial pitches.
How do I ensure a secure fit?
Proper lacing is key. Ensure the laces are snug but not overly tight. The double-layered mesh lining also contributes to a secure fit by holding the foot in place.
What is the purpose of the micro-dots on the upper?
The micro-dots amplify touch zones, enhancing your ability to control and manipulate the ball during dribbling, passing, and shooting.
How should I clean my Nike Tiempo Legend 10 Academy boots?
Wipe them clean with a damp cloth after use and allow them to air dry naturally. Avoid direct heat sources. A leather conditioner can be used periodically.
Are these boots suitable for very young children?
These boots are designed for kids and feature materials and technologies aimed at enhancing comfort and performance for young players. The specific size (UK 5) is suitable for older children or pre-teens.
What type of pitch are these boots best suited for?
They are best suited for Firm Ground (FG) pitches, which typically refers to natural grass pitches that are slightly damp but not excessively wet or muddy.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure laces are not overtightened. Try wearing thinner socks or allow for a longer break-in period. The FlyTouch Lite leather will naturally adapt to your foot shape over time.
Traction feels insufficient on wet grass
These boots are designed for firm ground. For wet or muddy conditions, consider boots with a Soft Ground (SG) soleplate. Ensure the FG studs are clean from debris.
Laces keep coming undone
Try double-knotting the laces. Consider replacing the laces with a different material that offers better grip, or ensure they are not frayed.
Mud or dirt is difficult to remove
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt before wiping with a damp cloth. For stubborn mud, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by thorough rinsing with a clean damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Lacing: Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets for a secure, locked-in fit. Adjust tightness based on personal preference and foot shape. A snug fit is recommended for optimal performance.
- Initial Wear: Wear the boots around the house for a short period to allow them to naturally mold to your feet before playing on the pitch.
Compatibility:
- These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG). They provide optimal traction on natural grass pitches that are slightly damp but not wet, or on newer artificial grass surfaces.
- They are not recommended for use on hard ground, very wet/muddy pitches, or older, worn artificial turf, as this can lead to reduced performance and increased risk of damage or injury.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, wipe the boots clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt and mud. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the leather and synthetic materials.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, to protect them from dust and moisture.
- Leather Care: Periodically apply a suitable leather conditioner to maintain the suppleness and longevity of the FlyTouch Lite upper.
