FAQs
Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?
These are primarily designed for natural firm ground surfaces. Using them on heavily abrasive artificial turf may increase wear on the outsole.
How do I determine the right size?
New Balance sizing is generally true to fit. We recommend measuring the foot with socks on and referring to the standard UK children's size guide.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the New Balance Tekela range is designed as a unisex fit, accommodating a wide variety of foot shapes for all junior players.
Can I put these in the dryer?
No. Heat from dryers can permanently damage the adhesive and upper materials of the boots. Always air dry at room temperature.
What is the best way to clean mud off the upper?
Allow the mud to dry, then gently brush it off. If necessary, use a cloth dampened with cool water and mild soap.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too stiff after purchase
Wear them indoors for short sessions to allow the materials to soften naturally to the shape of the foot.
Accumulation of grass and dirt in cleats
Use a specialized boot cleaning brush or a dull plastic tool to dislodge debris from the outsole studs after every match.
Laces coming undone during play
Use a double knot technique or swap for performance textured laces if the issue persists during active movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, confirm that the size corresponds to the child's active soccer socks to prevent blistering. For care, avoid using a washing machine. Instead, remove surface dirt after each game using a soft brush or a damp cloth. If the boots become saturated with water, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally in a cool, well-ventilated area—avoid placing them near radiators or direct heat sources as this can warp the materials.
