Product Information

Full details

The New Balance Tekela V5 Team FG football boots are designed for adult players seeking superior ball control and dynamic on-pitch performance. Offering a lightweight feel and precise touch, these boots are ideal for dictating play on firm ground. A potential caveat is the specialized nature of FG (Firm Ground) studs, which are not suitable for artificial or very wet surfaces. Key features include a microfibre upper with debossed channels for optimal ball manipulation, a knitted collar for a secure fit, and Rim Stud Technology for enhanced traction during turns.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of pitch are these boots best suited for?

These are Firm Ground (FG) boots, optimized for natural, dry, or slightly damp grass pitches. They are not designed for artificial turf or very wet, muddy conditions.

How do I clean my Tekela V5 boots?

Clean them with a soft brush or damp cloth after use. Avoid harsh detergents and do not soak the boots. Ensure they air dry naturally away from heat.

Do these boots contain recycled materials?

Yes, the upper of the Tekela V5 incorporates recycled content as part of New Balance's sustainability initiatives.

What is the purpose of the Rim Stud Technology?

Rim Stud Technology features additional studs around the edge of the forefoot to provide enhanced stability and improved traction for quick, sharp turns on the pitch.

Is the knitted collar suitable for all ankle shapes?

The knitted collar is designed to provide a compressive, secure fit. While it aims for comfort and lockdown, individual foot and ankle shapes may vary, so trying them on is recommended.

Can I use these boots on artificial grass?

No, these are Firm Ground (FG) boots and are not recommended for artificial grass pitches. Using them on artificial surfaces may lead to reduced performance, increased wear, and potential injury.

What does 'deboss channels' mean for the upper?

Debossed channels are indentations on the upper material that help optimize the contact between the boot and the ball, leading to better control and precision when dribbling or passing.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight or cause pressure points.

Ensure laces are not over-tightened. The offset instep zone is designed to relieve pressure; adjust lacing around this area. If pressure persists, consider if the boot shape is suitable for your foot type or if a larger size is needed.

Reduced traction on the pitch.

Confirm you are using the boots on the intended Firm Ground surface. Clean any mud or debris from the studs, as this can impede their effectiveness. Ensure studs are not worn down significantly.

Material appears stiff or loses flexibility.

Avoid exposing the boots to excessive heat for drying. Regular, light conditioning (if appropriate for synthetic materials) can help maintain flexibility, but consult specific care guides for microfibre.

Knitted collar feels too loose or too constrictive.

Adjust the lacing to achieve the desired tension. The collar is designed for a compressive fit; if it feels significantly uncomfortable, the fit may not be right for your ankle shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Offers excellent ball control due to upper design and channels.
Provides a secure and comfortable fit with the knitted collar.
Enhanced stability and traction for quick directional changes.
Lightweight construction for agility on the pitch.
Includes sustainable materials in its construction.

Cons

Firm Ground (FG) studs are best suited for natural, dry grass pitches and may not perform optimally on artificial turf or wet conditions.
The specialized fit of the knitted collar may not suit all foot shapes.
Microfibre material may require specific care to maintain its condition.
Designed for players who prioritize touch and control, potentially less emphasis on raw power features.
The offset instep zone, while relieving pressure, might feel different to players accustomed to a traditional boot design.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Lace Up: Ensure the laces are evenly tightened for a secure, comfortable fit, paying attention to the offset instep zone.
Break-in: While designed for immediate comfort, a short break-in period on the training pitch is recommended to fully mold the boots to your feet.

Compatibility:

These are Firm Ground (FG) football boots. They are designed for use on natural, dry, and slightly damp grass pitches.
Not recommended for use on artificial grass, hard ground, or very wet, muddy pitches, as the stud configuration may not provide optimal traction and could lead to excessive stud pressure or damage.

Care:

Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the boots.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the materials.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, ideally in a breathable boot bag, away from direct sunlight.
