Combine next-level vision with flawless technique wearing New Balance Tekela V5 Team FG football boots in Pink Heat/Metallic Gold/Pink Satin. Crafted for total control, the Tekela V5 puts you in charge of the game, offering the dynamic touch you need to dictate the play. The lightweight microfibre upper features deboss channels in key areas, enabling precise manipulation of the ball while allowing your feet to flex naturally as you move. At the ankle, the stretchy knitted collar provides a compressive fit for secure lockdown, while the midfoot section of the collar is slightly offset to relieve pressure on the nerves at the top of the foot. On the soleplate, Rim Stud Technology - those additional clear studs around the edge of the forefoot - returns to deliver improved stability and traction for turns. An EVA sockliner cushions ground impacts for comfort as you step away from opponents to play the decisive pass. As you can tell, NB have well and truly been in the lab for the Tekela V5, and that extends to sustainability too.

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.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Lacing: Ensure the lace closure is used to achieve a secure and personalized fit. Adjust laces evenly across the foot.
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:
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.
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.
Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, to protect them from dust and damage.
