Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These boots are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for a snug, supportive fit. It is recommended to wear appropriate football socks during initial wear to help the boots mold to your feet.
Compatibility:
The Nike Tiempo Academy Football Boots are designed primarily for use on firm, natural ground (FG) surfaces. They are not recommended for artificial grass, hard ground, or very wet/muddy conditions, as the soleplate is optimized for drier, firmer turf.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the boots in water.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather and affect the boot's shape.
- Leather Care: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the upper supple and prevent cracking, especially after cleaning.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag, to protect them from dust and damage.
