How’s the padding area for shooting? I need a padded boot

[@DiegoFontes-Barbosa]

Just wore these in a game right out of the box and they are the best value for your money in the market right now. These are insanely comfortable, the synthetic leather feels great, shoe fits like a sock with a tight lockdown and very light on feet. It's an amazing football boot and unless you're playing pro (any level) or collegiately, there's no need to spend the extra $90 for the elites. Best boot I've had in a long time (I was wearing legend 9 elite before, these are just as good). I have wide feet and went a half size up: zero problems. Toe box is wide enough, the boots feel great and perfect for wide feet. I keep seeing comments that these are too narrow but by going a half size up, these are perfection.

[@PenguinosSTEMCorner27]

been through both academy and pro gx's and honestly could not agree more. The pro isn't a cheaper version of the elites it's a whole new freaking boot. And you'd think since the whole thing with GX's is to have more grip they'd use a cheaper grippy material on the pros. Looking to switch mines out very soon.

[@CognizantCheddar]

The upper is good because the soleplate density is Temu-caliber cheap. That's the compromise Nike made to boost the profit margin.

[@RagingMist]

The toe box tapered way too much for me. I wear the legend 9 elites in a size 6 uk, and the Legend 10 pro's in a 6.5uk were way too tight at the toe box, causing great discomfort. Maybe it's because of the internal padding? Id like to try the Legend 10 elites to compare

[@MattPro47]

Do I go with this or should the Academy version suffice? Not splurging on the Elite because of the field condition I am playing. I am looking for comfort since the performance across the series are almost identical.

[@khelgarironfist3301]

As an owner of both, the elite has noticeably more rigid soleplate, which could be a deciding factor in itself? Pro's soleplate is way too flexible, so much so that you can bend it in half in midsole without much effort. Same goes for the insoles. Tongue thing is definitely more comfortable in the pros though. Likewise padded sides of the pros are also nicer imo.

[@RobinHood948]

What do you think about them after some use? In my country, the price is like 120€ for the pros and 170€ for the elite. I need both FG and AG, so the price difference is double.

I play in AG pitches and the rubber pellets get in my shoes if I don't have a pair with a high collar. Do you think it will be an issue with this boot?

I had the 9 half size big, but it was actually still a bit tight. Since the 10 is not leather, it should stretch less so im thinking going for a full size up. I remember this channel saying it runs true to size for the 9 as well, which was not the case for me.

[@All_About_the_Benjamins]

Exactly, I’ve always worn Vapors in size 10 US the same size I wear in all my shoes and the other day I tried my friends Tiempo Legend 9 Elite in size 10 US and they felt small, I couldn’t stretch out my toes fully, like if they were a 9.5 What’s interesting is that I once bought for a friend a pair of Legend 8 Academy AG in 11 US and those were definitely like an 11. so I wonder when or for what shoes Nike changed the sizing on the Tiempos.

Hey Josh. I noticed that the Pro and the Academy versions got the same soleplate. But the Academy’s soleplate is named FG/MG, while the Pro’s is named only FG. Why is that? Does that mean that I can’t play on AG with the Pro version?

[@diegofontes7695]

Had the Tiempo 10 Pro AG for 5 weeks and the soleplate cracked. Is the soleplate on the elite models better and more reliable/durable? I love this boot but don't want it to keep buying them if the same thing is going to happen over and over again...

[@Soccerreviewsforyou]

First of all, they should not crack after a month. I would contact Nike's warranty department and they should sort you out with a new pair. As for the material of the soleplate, the actual plastic used is technically different between the Pro and Elites. Do they actually any different though, not really. Regardless, the soleplate shouldn't crack on either of them. Sounds like a manufacturing defect on the pair that broke.
