Nike Tiempo Legend 8 Elite

Comfortable for all foot types.

Do the Nike Tiempo Legend 8 Elite run true to size?

The Nike Tiempo Legend 8 Elite is true to size for most players, running about a quarter size short. That only matters if you fall between sizes — a clean whole size should take their usual size.

Sizing

This model runs true to size, with a slight quarter-size small lean. Footwear comes in half sizes, so only if you're between sizes or want a roomier fit, consider going up half a size.

The fit, explained

A square apex and accommodating forefoot give the toes room across the front rather than at one point, which suits feet whose toes are close in length.

A broadly forgiving leather control boot that suits square and Roman toe shapes especially well.

Break-in: Leather forefoot gives a little; the Flyknit sections hold their shape.
