FAQs
Can I use these boots on artificial grass?
These are designed for firm ground natural grass. Using them on artificial surfaces may void the warranty and cause accelerated wear.
How do I ensure the best fit?
The leather upper will stretch and mold to your foot over time. Ensure they are snug at first, but not painful.
Should I use shoe polish on them?
You can use a neutral leather cream or conditioner, but avoid heavy polishes that may clog the pores of the leather.
How often should I clean the boots?
Clean them after every single use to prevent mud and moisture from damaging the material.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The leather construction of the Tiempo series is generally considered more accommodating to various foot shapes than synthetic alternatives.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff during first use
Leather requires a break-in period. Wear them for short training sessions before using them in a full match.
Accumulation of dirt in stud patterns
Use a specialized brush or a dry cloth to dislodge debris after every match to maintain optimal traction.
Leather becoming brittle after wet play
Clean thoroughly, air dry, and consider using a leather-safe conditioner to restore natural suppleness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Tiempo Maestro Elite boots perform at their best, follow these guidelines. Setup involves ensuring the laces are tied with a firm but comfortable tension that secures the midfoot without restricting blood flow. Compatibility is limited strictly to natural grass; using these on artificial grass or concrete will lead to premature stud wear and potential separation of the plate from the upper. For care, always remove excess mud immediately after play using a soft brush. If the boots become saturated, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as excessive heat will cause the leather to dry out, crack, and lose its adaptive properties.
