FAQs
What does 'SG Pro' mean for the soleplate?
SG Pro stands for Soft Ground Professional. This soleplate is specifically designed with metal studs for optimal traction and stability on wet, muddy, or soft natural grass pitches.
How do I break in these football boots?
Wear them around the house with your football socks for short periods. Gradually increase the duration. Play in them for short training sessions before a full match. The TechLeather material is designed to be comfortable relatively quickly.
Can I use these boots on artificial grass?
No, the SG Pro soleplate is not designed for artificial grass. Using them on artificial surfaces can cause damage to the studs and soleplate, and significantly reduce traction.
Are replacement studs included?
Replacement metal studs are not typically included with the boots but can be purchased separately. A stud key is also recommended for changing studs.
How do I clean the TechLeather upper?
Wipe the TechLeather upper with a damp cloth after play to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or soaking the boots.
What is the benefit of the 360Wrap?
The 360Wrap extends around the boot to provide a more secure, locked-in fit, bringing your foot closer to the ball for enhanced control and confidence during play.
Who are the professional players endorsing the Tiempo Maestro range?
The Tiempo Maestro range is endorsed by players such as Jamal Musiala, Phil Foden, Arda Guler, Catarina Macario, and Estevao.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you are wearing appropriate football socks. Try loosening the laces, especially around the TechKnit collar and eyestays, to adjust the fit. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, consider if this is the correct size or model for your foot shape.
Poor traction on soft ground
Check if the studs are clean and free of mud or debris. Ensure the studs are the correct type for the ground conditions. If studs are worn down, they may need replacing. Use the provided stud key to ensure they are securely tightened.
Materials feel stiff after cleaning
Avoid drying the boots with direct heat. Ensure they are air-drying naturally. Once fully dry, a gentle conditioning treatment suitable for synthetic leather may help restore suppleness.
Metal studs feel loose
Use the appropriate stud key to tighten the loose studs. If a stud cannot be tightened or is damaged, it should be replaced.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Ensure the boots are the correct size and fit snugly but comfortably.
- Check that all metal studs are securely in place before first use. Replacement studs and a stud key are recommended to be kept separately.
Compatibility:
- These SG Pro boots are designed exclusively for soft ground pitches (e.g., wet grass).
- They are not recommended for use on firm ground, artificial grass, or hard surfaces, as this can lead to discomfort, reduced performance, and potential damage to the soleplate and studs.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess mud with a soft brush. Wipe the boots with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the boots in water.
- Drying: Allow 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 materials.
- Studs: Clean studs after each use. Inspect metal studs for wear and replace as necessary. Store spare studs in a dry place.
