Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance Tekela V5 Elite boots, follow these steps:
- Break-in: Wear them for short sessions or during training before taking them into a competitive match to allow the microfibre and knitted collar to adapt to your foot shape.
- Surface Compatibility: These are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches. Avoid using them on artificial grass surfaces that cause excessive friction, as this may lead to premature wear of the soleplate.
- Cleaning: After play, remove loose dirt and mud using a soft-bristled brush. Wipe down the upper with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive chemicals or submersing the boots in water.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or heaters, which can warp the materials and affect the fit.
