FAQs
How do I determine my correct size?
Nike's Tiempo Legend 9 Elite FG boots are sold in European (EU) sizes. While the CM (centimeter) measurement on the shoe box might differ from your foot length, please refer to the official Nike size chart provided to accurately convert your foot measurement to the correct EU size for the best fit.
What type of pitch are these boots designed for?
These boots are classified as Firm Ground (FG) and are optimized for traction and performance on natural, dry grass pitches. They are not recommended for artificial grass, hard, or wet/muddy surfaces.
How do I clean my Nike Tiempo Legend 9 Elite FG boots?
After playing, remove dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the boots. Always let them air dry naturally away from heat sources.
Will the leather upper stretch over time?
Yes, the premium leather upper is designed to stretch and mold to your foot shape with wear, providing a personalized and comfortable fit. It's recommended to break them in gradually.
Can I use these boots in wet conditions?
While the boots can handle slightly damp conditions, they are primarily designed for firm, dry ground. Performance and durability may be compromised in very wet or muddy conditions. Specialized boots for soft ground (SG) are recommended for such pitches.
What is the main benefit of the premium leather material?
The premium leather provides an exceptional touch on the ball, enhancing control for dribbling, passing, and shooting. It also contributes to a comfortable, adaptive fit over time.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct EU size based on the provided size chart. Wear the boots for short periods to allow the premium leather to break in and conform to your foot shape. Avoid using them for a full match until they feel comfortable.
Traction is poor on the pitch
Confirm that you are using the boots on the intended Firm Ground (FG) surface. Ensure the studs are clean and free from debris. If playing on a damp or slightly softer pitch than usual, traction may be reduced compared to dry conditions.
Leather feels stiff after drying
The leather may become stiff if dried too quickly or with harsh cleaning agents. Ensure the boots are air-dried naturally. You can apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for sports footwear after the boots are fully dry to restore flexibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Sizing: Before first use, carefully consult the Nike size chart to ensure you select the correct EU size. Note that the CM sizing on the box may differ from foot length. Use your EU size as the primary reference.
Initial Wear: It is recommended to wear the boots around the house for a short period to allow the premium leather to adapt to your foot shape.
Compatibility:
These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG). They are best suited for use on natural, dry, and short-grass pitches.
Avoid using these boots on artificial grass, hard ground, or wet/muddy conditions, as this can affect performance and potentially damage the studs.
Care:
Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt and mud with a soft brush or a dry cloth. For tougher dirt, use a slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources such as radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the leather and sole.
Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, to protect them from dust and moisture.
