FAQs
What type of playing surface are these boots best for?
These Tekela boots feature an FG (Firm Ground) soleplate, making them ideal for firm, natural grass pitches. They are not recommended for artificial turf or very wet/muddy conditions.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Try them on with the type of socks you typically wear for football. Ensure there is a snug fit without excessive pressure points. Your heel should feel secure, and you should have a little room in the toe box.
Are these boots suitable for all playing levels?
Yes, the Tekela V5 series is designed for players of all levels, offering features beneficial for both emerging talent and experienced players.
How durable are the New Balance Tekela boots?
They are constructed with durable materials intended to withstand regular use in training and matches on appropriate surfaces.
Can I use these boots on artificial grass?
While they might offer some grip, the FG stud pattern is not optimized for artificial grass and could lead to reduced performance or increased wear and tear. Boots specifically designed for AG (Artificial Grass) are recommended for such surfaces.
What is the main benefit of the Tekela series?
The Tekela series is focused on providing dynamic touch and full control, enabling players to create space and execute their vision on the field effectively.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight
Wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase if needed.
Traction feels reduced on wet grass
The FG soleplate is best for firm ground. For wet conditions, consider a boot with an SG (Soft Ground) soleplate. Ensure grass is not excessively long or muddy.
Dirt buildup under studs
Use a small, firm brush or a pointed object (like a stud-cleaner tool) to carefully remove debris from between the studs after play.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably before your first game.
Compatibility: The Firm Ground (FG) soleplate is optimized for natural grass pitches. Use on artificial turf or excessively hard/wet ground may reduce performance and potentially damage the studs.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Stuff boots with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag, to protect the materials.
