Product Information
Full details
The New Balance Tekela Elite Low Laced FG V5 is designed for adult football players seeking precision control and dynamic movement on firm ground surfaces. These boots excel by offering a high-tech microfibre upper with silicone grip elements for superior ball manipulation, though players with exceptionally wide feet may need time to break in the compressive knitted collar for a perfect fit.

FAQs
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
The Tekela Elite V5 has a snug, performance-oriented fit. While the offset midfoot design helps with pressure, those with very wide feet may find them quite tight initially.
Can I use these on artificial grass?
These boots are specifically engineered for firm ground (FG) surfaces. Use on artificial turf may void your warranty and cause excessive wear to the soleplate.
How do I clean the silicone grip elements?
Gently wipe them with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid scrubbing with abrasive brushes, as this can degrade the nano-printed grip patterns.
Does the boot come with a removeable insole?
Yes, the boots feature an Ortholite sockliner which provides cushioned comfort and can be removed for cleaning or replacement.
What does 'Low Laced' mean for this model?
This refers to the lacing system, which allows for a customizable lockdown while maintaining the low-profile, sleek aesthetic of the Tekela V5 series.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight around the ankle.
The knitted collar is designed for a compressive fit; ensure it is fully stretched out during entry and allow for a few sessions for the material to adapt to your foot shape.
Traction feels inconsistent on the pitch.
Check the outsole for any stuck debris or mud that might be obstructing the Rim Studs, and ensure the boots are being used on appropriate firm ground surfaces.
Pros and Cons

- Lightweight construction reduces fatigue

Cons
- Compressive collar may feel tight for some users initially
- Microfibre material requires a brief break-in period
- Specifically optimized for firm ground, may be less effective on soft or wet grass
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum longevity and performance, these boots are best suited for firm, natural grass pitches. Avoid using them on artificial turf or concrete, as this can wear down the studs prematurely. To clean, wipe away excess dirt with a damp cloth after every use. Do not submerge the boots in water or use harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the microfibre upper and silicone elements. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can warp the material. Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly before play to take full advantage of the offset midfoot design, which is intended to distribute tension evenly across the top of the foot.
