Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your Nike Tiempo Legend 10 Academy MG boots are designed for immediate use with zero break-in time. Simply unbox, lace them up, and you're ready to hit the pitch. Ensure you select the correct size for a snug yet comfortable fit. The padded heel and microfibre lining will help secure your foot.
Compatibility
These boots feature a Mixed Ground (MG) soleplate, making them compatible with a wide range of playing surfaces. They perform optimally on:
- Firm Ground (FG)
- Artificial Grass (AG)
Avoid using them on extremely soft, muddy pitches or very abrasive artificial turf (like older 1G or 2G pitches) to prevent excessive wear and potential injury. The MG soleplate is a versatile choice for players who frequently play on different types of fields.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your boots:
- Cleaning after use: After each game or training session, gently tap your boots together to remove loose dirt and grass. Use a soft brush or damp cloth to wipe away any remaining mud from the upper and soleplate.
- Drying: Always allow your boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the material and cause it to crack or warp.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and air them out separately. You can use shoe deodorizers or stuff boots with newspaper to absorb moisture and odors.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place. Using a boot bag can help protect them from scratches and keep them clean.
