FAQs
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
The Tekela Elite features a performance fit, but the knit collar and microfiber upper are designed to offer some flexibility to adapt to various foot shapes.
Can I use these on artificial grass?
Yes, the conical stud configuration is designed to provide 360-degree traction, making it effective for both natural grass and artificial grass surfaces.
How should I clean my boots?
Use a damp, soft cloth to wipe down the exterior and a soft brush to remove dirt from the studs; air dry away from heat sources.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from lightweight microfiber, enhanced with debossed channels and printed grip textures.
Do these boots feature a laceless design?
While they utilize a one-piece knit collar for lockdown, they are generally designed as traditional laced models to provide adjustable compression.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff during the first wear
This is normal for high-performance microfiber; allow for a break-in period of 3-4 training sessions for the material to soften.
Reduced grip on the ball
Clean the surface of the boots with a damp cloth to remove dust and pitch debris that may have collected in the grip channels.
Loose fit around the ankle
Ensure the one-piece knit collar is fully stretched over the ankle area and that the laces are adjusted to provide a snug, secure wrap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Tekela Elite boots, always remove mud and debris after each session using a soft-bristled brush. Avoid using harsh chemicals or industrial cleaning agents, as these can compromise the integrity of the microfiber upper. Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the materials to stiffen or discolour. When fitting, ensure the knit collar is pulled fully over the ankle to achieve the intended lock-in effect, and allow the boots to contour to your feet naturally over several practice sessions.
