Product Information
Full details
The New Balance Tekela Elite Low Laced FG V5 is designed for adult football players seeking superior ball control and dynamic agility on firm ground pitches. Featuring a specialized microfibre upper with silicone grip elements, these boots offer a precise touch and natural foot flex, making them ideal for playmakers who dictate the game's tempo. While these boots provide exceptional stability and lockdown, players should note that they are specifically optimized for firm natural grass surfaces and may not offer the same performance on artificial turf or extremely soft, muddy ground.

FAQs
Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?
These boots are designed for Firm Ground (FG). Using them on abrasive artificial turf may cause premature wear to the stud configuration.
Do I need to treat the upper with a spray?
No, the microfibre upper is designed to be low-maintenance and should not be treated with oils or chemical sprays.
How should I store them?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Do not leave damp boots in a closed bag, as this can lead to material degradation.
Can I replace the insoles?
The Ortholite sockliner is removable and can be replaced if you require custom orthotics or specific arch support.
How do I ensure the correct size?
The Tekela V5 follows standard UK sizing. Ensure there is approximately half a centimetre of space at the toe for optimal performance.
Does the knitted collar stretch out?
The collar is designed to retain its elasticity through repeated wear, provided it is not stretched aggressively during the donning process.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too stiff out of the box
The microfibre upper is designed to mold to the foot over time; try wearing them for light training sessions to facilitate the break-in process.
Accumulation of dirt in the grip elements
Use a soft-bristled brush or a toothbrush with mild soap and water to gently dislodge dirt from the textured areas.
Heel slipping during acceleration
Check the lacing tension around the midfoot; the knitted collar should feel snug, not restrictive, to maintain proper lockdown.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent ball control and touch
- Secure lockdown with a comfortable knitted collar
- Lightweight design enhances agility
- Superior stability for quick directional changes
Cons
- Optimized primarily for firm ground
- Low-laced design may require specific tension adjustment
- Material requires regular cleaning to maintain grip elements
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Tekela Elite V5 boots, ensure you are utilizing them on appropriate firm ground (FG) surfaces. Before your first session, spend time adjusting the lacing to achieve a tension that balances lockdown with circulation. To clean, gently wipe away loose mud using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical detergents, as these can degrade the nano-printed silicone grip elements. After use, allow the boots to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can warp the synthetic materials.
