FAQs
What type of surface are these boots designed for?
These boots feature an FG (Firm Ground) outsole, optimized for use on natural grass pitches that are dry and firm.
Can I use these boots on artificial grass?
No, these FG boots are not recommended for artificial turf. Using them on artificial surfaces can lead to reduced performance, discomfort, and potential damage to the studs and the boot.
How do I clean my Tekela football boots?
After use, gently brush off dirt with a soft brush or wipe with a slightly damp cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
The fit can vary. While designed for a secure fit, it's best to try them on or consult user reviews regarding width accommodation. Proper lacing adjustment can also help optimize comfort.
What is the main benefit of the Tekela series?
The Tekela series is designed for players who prioritize dynamic touch, complete control, and the ability to create space on the field.
Do these boots require a break-in period?
Like most performance football boots, a short break-in period is often beneficial to achieve optimal comfort and a personalized fit.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly. Wear the boots for short periods initially to allow them to break in. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if a different model might suit your foot shape better.
Traction is poor on the pitch
Verify that you are playing on an appropriate firm ground surface. Ensure the FG studs are clean and free from debris. Worn-out studs can also reduce traction; consider replacement if extensively used.
Materials appear damaged after use
Inspect for signs of excessive wear or damage inconsistent with normal play. Avoid using the boots on unsuitable surfaces, as this can cause premature material breakdown.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots come ready to wear. It is recommended to try them on indoors to ensure a comfortable fit before use on the pitch. Adjust lacing for a secure, personalized fit.
Compatibility: The FG (Firm Ground) designation means these boots are specifically designed for use on natural grass pitches that are dry and firm. They are not recommended for artificial turf, hard ground, or very wet/muddy conditions, as this can lead to reduced performance and potential damage to the studs.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the boots in water.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, to maintain their shape and protect them from dust and moisture.
