FAQs
What type of pitch are these boots best suited for?
The New Balance Tekela V5 Team FG boots are designed for firm ground (FG) pitches, which typically include dry, natural grass surfaces.
How do I clean the boots?
Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap after use. Brush off excess dirt and allow them to air dry naturally away from heat sources.
Are these boots suitable for players with wide feet?
The fit is designed to be snug for lockdown. While the upper is flexible, players with very wide feet may find them restrictive. It is recommended to try them on if possible.
What is the benefit of the Rim Stud Technology?
Rim Stud Technology provides additional grip around the edges of the forefoot, enhancing stability and support during rapid turns and explosive movements.
Does the knitted collar offer ankle support?
The knitted collar provides a secure, compressive fit for lockdown, contributing to ankle stability during play, rather than rigid support.
How do the debossed channels on the upper help?
The debossed channels are designed to improve the precision of your touch on the ball, allowing for better control during dribbling and passing.
Are these boots available in other colors?
Yes, the Tekela V5 line is available in various colorways, though this specific model is Black/Yellow.
What does 'FG' stand for in the product name?
FG stands for 'Firm Ground', indicating the type of surface the boot's stud configuration is optimized for.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try wearing them with standard football socks for a few short sessions to allow the materials to mold to your feet. The offset instep zone may take some getting used to.
Traction is poor on the pitch
Verify that you are playing on a firm ground surface. The FG studs are optimized for this. If playing on softer ground, these boots may not provide adequate grip. Ensure studs are clean and free from debris.
Upper material appears creased or damaged
The microfibre upper is designed to be flexible. Minor creasing from natural foot movement is normal. Avoid harsh folding or bending of the boots when storing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
These football boots are designed for immediate use on firm ground (FG) pitches, typically natural grass that is dry and well-maintained.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or soaking the boots in water.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, away from direct sunlight.
- Stud Maintenance: Check studs for wear and tear. Ensure they are clean to maintain optimal traction.
