FAQs
Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?
These boots are engineered for Firm Ground (FG) natural grass. Using them on artificial surfaces may lead to excessive wear or reduced traction.
Do I need to size up or down?
The Tekela Elite V5 generally fits true to size, but since they offer a snug, performance-oriented fit, some players prefer a half-size up if they wear thick grip socks.
How do I clean the upper material?
Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing brushes that could damage the texture.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing for the use of custom orthotics if required.
How long do these boots typically last?
Durability depends on playing frequency and pitch maintenance, but with proper care, elite-level boots are designed to withstand a full season of competitive play.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too stiff out of the box
Wear them for short sessions or during training drills for 30-60 minutes to allow the materials to soften and adapt to your foot shape.
Accumulation of grass and debris in studs
Use a specialized boot cleaning brush or a soft toothbrush after every session to prevent buildup from affecting traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Tekela boots last, properly lace them before each session, ensuring the mid-foot lockdown feels secure but not constrictive. These boots are specifically built for Firm Ground (FG) pitches; using them on artificial grass or concrete can cause premature wear and void warranties. After use, remove loose mud with a soft brush and clean the upper with a damp cloth. Never put these boots in a washing machine or leave them in direct sunlight, as excessive heat can degrade the adhesives and synthetic materials.
