When it comes to finding the best leather futbol cleat in the game, I have to recommend the Nike Tiempo's from Nike. These cleats are very popular in the soccer community and although I personally do not like the aesthetic from these cleats, the performance is what makes this shoe unique and undoubtedly one of the most comfortable cleats that I have ever worn. These cleats are great because they run true to size so the size that you wear naturally is the size that you will want to go with when you order these to achieve the best possible fit. Not many shoes feel like that out of the box, so Nike did a fantastic job with this aspect of the shoe.
The materials that Nike used to make this particular cleat is unmatched. Nike chose to go with what is called kangaroo leather and let me tell you from experience, this is probably the softest and most comfortable shoe that you will ever slip on your feet. The kangaroo leather that you will find on the Nike Tiempo is such a soft and thin leather so it eliminates the feeling of having a bulky shoe so you feel more of the ball as you are playing in a match. I know that when you think of leather, you probably think of bulk and stiffness and that is exactly why I stopped myself from getting these cleats in the past but I decided to give them a try and I could not be more satisfied.
Personally, these are now my favorite cleats to wear even over my Superfly 6's (which is Nikes most popular shoe at the moment). The kangaroo leather is only a top layer of the outsole of the shoe and underneath it all you will find the famous knit materials that are used on all of the high-end Nike products. This is how Nike manages to make such a lightweight and thin leather cleat.
The fact that the upper leather is so thin and easy to manipulate, makes for the best fit for you. When you put the cleat on, it will feel like it is molding to the shape of your foot especially in important areas such as the forefoot and to box area. This shoe is also very breathable for being a luxury leather shoe. If you are in the market for a leather soccer cleat, I recommend the Nike Tiempo a million times because the quality of the shoe is just like no other.
As I mentioned before, to get the perfect fit from right out of the box is a hard this to achieve and in my personal experience this shoe felt like it was molded for my foot the second I put it on! One big problem that has always been a problem for me is breaking in a shoe and having to go through that initial blistering stage in order to "break the shoe in" and have it become softer.
With this shoe I did not even need to go through that initial break in stage and have to go through that awful blistering stage when you first try on a new pair of cleats. For a long time now, people in the soccer community have been asking for a shoe that fits and feels like the perfect shoe and Nike really delivered with this Nike Tiempo and might very well be the closest material you can get on a shoe to fit like a mold. Is the aesthetic compromised a little bit? for me, yes. But I was willing to overlook that because the performance I get from this cleat is unmatched still.
In game use, you will notice that you can almost feel the ball physically touching the inside of your foot every time you make contact with it and that is with have virtually two layers of materials between you and the ball. I feel like both the knit material and the thin kangaroo leather complement each other very well because it keeps you feeling comfortable and confident in passing or shooting the ball since you are able to really feel everything.
One of the main things that I really like from the Nike legend Tiempo's is the protection that you get from the shoe. And although I stated earlier that this cleat has virtually two components to it, that is what gives you a slightly greater protection that most other cleats. If you've ever been in a game, you know the feeling of being stepped on or feeling the scrapes or sudden bumps from the opposition and you know how much that hurts wearing a shoe that has a mesh upper. Since mesh uppers are so thin you are able to feel every bump and scrape that you come into contact with and they can be really annoying.
With the Tiempo's you eliminate almost all of that sacrifice that you have to give up with other shoes. I like to call these shoes "warriors" because they are always ready to take on the toughest challenges and go into battle. As we know sometimes futbol matches can get a bit crazy so having a good pair of cleats that can give you the best lightweight feel while also protecting yourself from injuries, that is what makes the Nike Tiempo's the perfect shoe for me and many other people around the world.
Expectations for this shoe were high for me when first deciding to purchase this cleat because I spend a great deal of time surfing the internet to read review, recommended products etc. I came to the conclusion that they met and exceeded all of my expectations that I had for this shoe. This is why I decided to come on here and recommend this product to all of you that might be asking yourself what soccer cleat you should purchase next.
I will say that the price point on these are relatively high, so it is not a budget friendly shoe. However, I can justify the price based of everything that you are getting with this shoe.
I hope you found this post helpful and maybe even influenced you to purchase this shoe! You will not be disapointed.
