The Tiempo Maestro Elite Firm ground are fantastic performance soccer boots.
The fit and feel of these Tiempos is very solid. They are snug at first and even a bit difficulty to put on. I suggest really loosening the shoelaces as much as you can at first, then progressively tighten them to your liking. Once you break them in, the Techleather will provide more flexibility and comfort. Because of the heel cushion and overall comfort, it doesn't take too long for the boots to mold to your foot. However, if you prefer looser fit with a bit more toe room, I recommend sizing up half a size.
Regardless of your preference, the Tiempos are responsive to your movements. You can feel the support during quick changes of direction and sprinting.
The design is vibrant and performance-orientated. The boots stand out on the field with its bright prink colorway and black Nike Swoosh. The Techleather lets you maintain a close contact with the ball so you don't have to worry about impacting your performance. Its sturdy and springy footbed also helps you have a good take off. I also liked the padded heel that provides additional comfort and support. It also adds to the boots snug fit without it feeling burdensome.
The fabric is lightweight and durable. The upper is stretchy but still provides that snug feel which keeps that close contact with the ball for excellent ball control. The breathable mesh at the top helps keep you cool and refreshed.
What I liked most was the comfort and performance. Tiempos have always been known for their comfort, but this new version takes it up a level with its design, lighweight feel, and Techleather. If could change one thing I would widen toe box a bit more so that the shoes are really true to size.
