FAQs
Can these boots be used on artificial grass?
These boots are engineered for firm ground (FG) natural grass. Using them on artificial surfaces may result in excessive stud wear.
How do I maintain the silicone grip?
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dust and pitch debris, ensuring the texture remains effective.
Is the fit true to size?
Yes, they follow standard adult sizing, though the knitted collar provides a snug, performance-focused fit.
Does the collar loosen over time?
The collar is designed to maintain its shape and compressive properties through regular use.
How should I store them?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the upper materials.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel slippery on wet grass
The Tekela V5 is designed for firm ground; if the pitch is saturated or muddy, consider boots with a soft-ground plate.
Accumulation of dirt in grip elements
Use a soft brush and water to clear debris from the nano-printed areas to restore full grip performance.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent ball control provided by silicone grip elements

- Lightweight construction prevents foot fatigue
- Superior stability during rapid directional changes

Cons
- Soleplate design is optimized specifically for firm ground (FG)

- The compressive fit may feel restrictive for players preferring a loose feel
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, the Tekela V5 features a compressive knitted collar; slide your foot in firmly and ensure the collar sits flush against your ankle for optimal lockdown. These boots are rated for Firm Ground (FG) use, meaning they are best suited for dry to slightly damp natural grass pitches. Avoid using them on artificial turf or extremely muddy fields, as this can cause premature wear to the stud construction and grip elements.
After every use, remove loose mud or debris using a soft-bristled brush. Wipe down the upper with a damp cloth to clean the silicone grip elements, which helps maintain the friction needed for ball control. Always air dry your boots at room temperature and never use direct heat sources like heaters or radiators, as this can degrade the materials and cause the soleplate bonding to fail.
