FAQs
What type of pitch are these boots best for?
These boots are designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches, which are typically natural, dry grass surfaces.
How do I clean my Tekela Elite football boots?
Wipe them down with a damp cloth and a soft brush to remove dirt. Let them air dry naturally away from heat sources. Do not machine wash or soak.
Is the leather material durable?
Yes, the premium leather construction is designed for durability and performance, but requires proper care to maintain its condition.
Can I use these boots on artificial turf?

How should the boots fit?
They should fit snugly, almost like a second skin, with minimal excess space around the toes and heel to ensure optimal control and prevent slippage.
What is the warranty period for these boots?
Warranty information typically varies by retailer and region. Please refer to the point of purchase or the New Balance official website for specific warranty details.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable

Leather appears stiff or dry
Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for sports footwear. Ensure boots are not over-dried after cleaning.
