FAQs
Are these boots suitable for players with wide feet?
The Tekela V5 Team FG features a microfibre upper designed for an adaptive fit. While not specifically a wide-fit boot, the material offers some flexibility. However, players with very wide feet may find a more specialized boot more comfortable.
How do I know if my pitch is firm ground?
Firm ground pitches are typically natural grass that is dry and well-maintained, offering consistent footing. If the ground is soft, muddy, or has divots, it is not considered firm ground.
What is the benefit of Rim Stud Technology?
Rim Stud Technology consists of additional angled studs around the edge of the forefoot. These provide enhanced stability and grip, especially during quick, multi-directional movements like sharp turns and changes of pace.
Can these boots be used on artificial grass?
No, these boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) and are not recommended for artificial grass (AG) pitches. Using them on AG can lead to reduced performance, increased stud wear, and potential injury.
How do I ensure the knitted collar provides the best lockdown?
The knitted collar offers a snug, compressive fit. Ensure it sits comfortably around your ankle and lace up the boots evenly. The offset instep zone is designed to work with the collar for optimal lockdown without undue pressure.
What does 'endorsed by...' mean for me?
Endorsements by professional athletes like Raheem Sterling and others indicate that the boot is designed to meet the demands of high-level play, focusing on control, comfort, and performance.
Is the recycled content noticeable in the boot's performance?
The recycled content is integrated into the upper material without compromising performance. The focus remains on providing a lightweight, controlled touch and feel for the ball.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight after lacing
Loosen the laces, particularly around the midfoot and ankle, before re-lacing to a comfortable tension. Ensure the offset instep zone is sitting correctly.
Lack of traction on pitch
Confirm you are using the boots on a suitable firm ground surface. Ensure the studs are clean and free from debris. For very dry pitches, consider a light brushing of the stud area.
Discomfort around the ankle or top of the foot
Check that the laces are not over-tightened. The knitted collar is designed for a compressive fit, but excessive lace tension can exacerbate pressure points. Ensure the offset instep zone is aligned correctly with your foot.
Upper material appears stiff or loses texture
Gently clean the microfibre upper with a damp cloth after each use. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive water, which can alter the material's properties.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the boots are the correct size and fit snugly.
Lace up the boots evenly, adjusting tension for a secure, comfortable fit.
The knitted collar should sit comfortably around your ankle without excessive restriction.
Compatibility:
These boots are designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches, typically natural grass that is dry and well-maintained.
Not recommended for use on artificial grass, hard ground, or very wet/muddy pitches, as the stud configuration may not provide optimal traction or could lead to excessive wear.
Care:
Cleaning: After use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush. Wipe the microfibre upper with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the boots.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag, to maintain their shape and prevent damage.
