Product Information

Full details

These New Balance Tekela V5 Team FG football boots are designed for adult players seeking total control and dynamic touch on firm ground pitches. The key benefit is enhanced ball manipulation and natural foot flex, allowing players to dictate the game. A potential caveat is that the firm ground (FG) soleplate is specifically for natural grass surfaces and may not perform optimally on artificial turf. The Tekela V5 features a lightweight microfibre upper with deboss channels for precise ball control, a compressive knitted collar for secure lockdown, and Rim Stud Technology for superior traction during turns. It also incorporates recycled materials in its construction.

FAQs

What type of playing surface are the New Balance Tekela V5 Team FG boots best for?

These boots are designed for Firm Ground (FG) surfaces, meaning natural grass pitches that are not excessively wet or muddy.

How do I clean my Tekela V5 football boots?

After play, remove dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?

No, the Firm Ground (FG) soleplate is not designed for artificial grass and using them on such surfaces can cause damage and affect performance.

What does 'Rim Stud Technology' do?

Rim Stud Technology features additional clear studs around the edge of the forefoot, designed to provide improved stability and traction specifically for quick turns and directional changes.

Do these boots contain recycled materials?

Yes, the upper on every model of the Tekela V5 incorporates recycled content as part of New Balance's sustainability efforts.

Who are the professional players endorsed by the Tekela range?

The Tekela range is endorsed by players such as Endrick, Raheem Sterling, Harvey Elliott, Jordyn Huitema, and Tim Weah.

What is the benefit of the offset instep zone on the collar?

The seam-free offset instep zone is designed to provide secure lockdown while relieving pressure on the nerves at the top of the foot.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure laces are adjusted correctly. Wear the boots for shorter periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape. If the issue persists, consider if the boot size is appropriate or if a different fit profile is needed.

Traction feels insufficient on wet grass

These are Firm Ground (FG) boots and are optimized for dry to slightly damp natural grass. For very wet or muddy conditions, an alternative soleplate (e.g., Soft Ground - SG) may be more suitable. Clean studs to ensure optimal grip.

Visible wear on the upper material

Normal wear and tear from playing football can occur. Clean the boots regularly and store them properly to prolong their life. Avoid abrasive surfaces during play.

Knitted collar feels restrictive

The knitted collar is designed for a compressive, locked-in feel. Ensure it is pulled on correctly. If discomfort is significant, try adjusting the lacing around the ankle area, or consult product sizing guides for optimal fit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced ball control due to debossed channels.
  • Secure and comfortable fit with the knitted collar and offset instep.
  • Excellent traction and stability for quick turns.
  • Comfortable cushioning from the EVA sockliner.
  • Commitment to sustainability through recycled materials.

Cons

  • Firm ground (FG) soleplate is not suitable for artificial grass pitches.
  • May require a break-in period for optimal comfort.
  • The pink colorway might not appeal to all players.
  • Only designed for adult players.
  • Specific performance benefits are geared towards players focused on ball control and agility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Lacing: Ensure the lace closure is used to achieve a secure and personalized fit. Adjust laces evenly across the foot.
  2. Initial Wear: It is recommended to wear the boots for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet.

Compatibility:

  • Surface: These are Firm Ground (FG) football boots. They are designed for use on natural grass pitches that are well-maintained and not excessively wet or muddy.
  • Avoid: Do not use these boots on artificial grass, hard-packed earth, or indoor surfaces, as this can damage the soleplate and studs, and compromise performance and safety.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt and mud using a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the boots in water.
  2. Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can degrade materials.
  3. Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, to protect them from dust and damage.
