FAQs

What type of pitch are the Tekela V5 Team FG boots best for?

These boots are designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches, which are typically natural grass fields that are dry and firm.

How do I clean my New Balance Tekela boots?

Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and mud after each use. Allow them to air dry naturally and avoid direct heat.

Are these boots suitable for players of all levels?

Yes, the Tekela V5 are designed for players of all levels, offering essential features for performance and control.

What is the main benefit of the Tekela design?

The primary benefit is enhanced dynamic touch and full control, enabling players to create space and execute plays with precision.

Can I use these boots on artificial grass?

While they may function on artificial turf, FG boots are primarily intended for natural grass. Using them on artificial surfaces can lead to increased wear and reduced performance.

What does 'FG' stand for in FG boots?

FG stands for 'Firm Ground', indicating the stud configuration is optimized for dry, natural grass pitches.

How can I ensure a proper fit?

It is recommended to try the boots on before purchasing if possible. Ensure there is a snug fit without excessive pressure points, and ample room in the toe box.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size. Consider wearing thinner socks initially or allow a break-in period of a few training sessions. Adjust lacing for a more personalized fit.

Reduced grip on the pitch.

Check that the FG studs are clean and free from mud or debris. Ensure you are playing on appropriate firm ground surfaces. Worn studs may need replacement.

Stitching appears to be loosening.

Inspect the stitching for any loose threads. If the integrity of the boot is compromised, discontinue use. Minor loose threads might be trimmed carefully, but significant issues require professional attention or replacement.

Materials feel stiff after initial use.

This is common with new boots. Continue wearing them for short periods during training to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot shape.
