FAQs
What does 'MG' stand for on the soleplate?
'MG' stands for Multi-Ground, indicating that the soleplate is designed for use on a variety of football pitch surfaces, including firm natural grass and artificial grass.
How do I clean the microfibre upper?
Gently clean the microfibre upper with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water. Allow to air dry naturally.
Will the lacquer on the bottom of the boot affect performance?
No, the potential wearing off of the lacquer finish is purely cosmetic and will not affect the performance or structural integrity of the football boots.
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
The Tekela V5 Elite MG features a Hypoknit collar for a close fit. While the midfoot shank is narrower for comfort, the overall fit is designed to be snug. Players with very wide feet may wish to try them on to assess suitability.
What is the benefit of the offset instep zone?
The offset instep zone is designed to relieve pressure on the nerves at the top of the foot, enhancing comfort and reducing the risk of irritation during play.
Do these boots contain recycled materials?
Yes, the upper on these boots incorporates recycled content as part of New Balance's commitment to sustainability.
Which professional players endorse 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 cause pressure points
Ensure you are wearing appropriate football socks. Loosen the laces and re-tie, ensuring the offset instep zone is comfortable. If the issue persists after a few wears, consider if the boot shape is suitable for your foot type.
Traction feels inconsistent on certain surfaces
Confirm you are using the boots on compatible multi-ground (MG) surfaces (natural grass or artificial grass). For very wet or muddy conditions, alternative soleplates may be more suitable.
Upper material feels stiff or unresponsive
The microfibre upper is designed to adapt to your foot over time. Wear the boots for short periods initially to break them in. Ensure they are clean and dry, as dirt can impede flexibility.
Lacquer on the outsole is peeling
This is a cosmetic issue and does not affect the performance of the boot. Continue using the boots as normal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
Initial Fit: Try the boots on with the type of socks you typically wear for football. Ensure a snug but comfortable fit, with no significant pressure points.
Lacing: Adjust the laces to achieve a secure lockdown, particularly around the midfoot and ankle area. The offset instep zone is designed to reduce pressure, so ensure the laces accommodate this.
Compatibility:
Multi-Ground (MG): These boots are designed for use on firm natural grass pitches and artificial grass (AG) surfaces. Avoid using them on hard, dry ground or very wet, muddy conditions where specialized studs might be more appropriate.
Care:
Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt and mud using a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or soaking the boots.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, to protect them from dust and moisture.
Outsole Finish: Be aware that the lacquer finish on the bottom of the boot may wear off during play. This is a cosmetic effect and does not impact the performance or structural integrity of the boot.
