FAQs

What type of pitch are the Tekela V5 Elite FG boots designed for?

These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches, which are typically natural grass pitches that are firm and relatively dry.

How do I clean and care for my Tekela V5 Elite FG boots?

After use, clean off dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Avoid harsh detergents.

Is the wear on the soleplate's lacquer finish a defect?

No, the wear on the lacquer finish is a normal cosmetic effect of playing on firm ground and does not impact the performance or integrity of the boot.

What is the benefit of the Hypoknit collar?

The Hypoknit collar provides a single-piece, ergonomic design for a close, comfortable fit and secure lockdown around the ankle, minimizing slippage.

Are these boots suitable for players with wide feet?

While designed for a secure, performance fit, the flexible upper materials and adjustable lacing offer some adaptability. However, they are not specifically designed as wide-fit boots.

Do these boots contain recycled materials?

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

Who are some of the professional players endorsed by the Tekela range?

The Tekela range is endorsed by players such as Endrick, Raheem Sterling, Harvey Elliott, Jordyn Huitema, and Tim Weah.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable during initial wear.

New boots often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly, not too tight. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase if needed.

Reduced traction on the pitch.

Check if the studs are clean and free from debris. Ensure you are playing on a suitable firm ground surface. If excessive wear is visible on the studs, the boots may need replacement.

The lacquer on the soleplate is peeling or worn off.

This is a normal cosmetic occurrence and does not impact the boot's performance or grip. No action is required.

Discomfort or pressure on the top of the foot.

Try adjusting the lacing pattern, particularly in the midfoot area, to utilize the seamfree offset instep zone effectively. Ensure the tongue is positioned correctly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional ball control and touch due to advanced upper technology.
  • Secure and comfortable fit with the Hypoknit collar and offset instep zone.
  • Enhanced stability and traction for quick turns and agile movements.
  • Comfortable cushioning to absorb impact during play.
  • Durable construction suitable for elite-level performance.
  • Sustainable design incorporating recycled materials.

Cons

  • Lacquer finish on the soleplate may wear off, though performance is unaffected.
  • Primarily designed for firm ground (FG) pitches, limiting use on other surfaces.
  • Elite-level features may be more than necessary for casual players.
  • Requires a break-in period for optimal comfort and fit.
  • Specific colorway may not appeal to all players.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the boots are the correct size. A snug fit is crucial for performance.
  2. Lace up the boots evenly, using the lace closure system for a personalized fit.
  3. The Hypoknit collar should feel snug but not overly restrictive around the ankle.

Compatibility:

  • These are Firm Ground (FG) football boots. They are designed for use on natural grass pitches that are firm and dry.
  • Not recommended for artificial grass, soft ground, or hard, uneven surfaces, as this can lead to stud wear or injury.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt and mud using a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  • Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, hairdryers) as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, away from direct sunlight.
  • Lacquer Wear: Note that the lacquer finish on the bottom of the boot may naturally wear off during play. This is a cosmetic change and does not affect the boot's performance or structural integrity.
