FAQs
Are these boots suitable for all playing surfaces?
No, the Tekela V5 Elite FG boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches. Their stud configuration may not perform optimally or could be damaged on artificial turf or very hard natural surfaces.
How do I ensure the best fit?
The boots feature a lace closure and a Hypoknit collar for a secure fit. Lace them evenly to achieve optimal lockdown without overtightening. The offset instep zone is designed to reduce pressure points.
What is the benefit of the Rim Stud Technology?
Rim Stud Technology incorporates additional TPU studs around the edge of the forefoot. This design enhances stability and provides crucial support during lightning-fast turns and changes of direction.
Do these boots contain recycled materials?
Yes, the upper on every model of the Tekela V5 incorporates recycled content as part of New Balance's commitment to sustainability.
How should I clean and care for my football boots?
Clean off mud and dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth after each use. Allow them to air dry naturally away from heat sources. Store them in a cool, dry place.
What is the purpose of the Ortholite sockliner?
The Ortholite sockliner provides cushioning to absorb ground impacts, enhancing comfort during play and reducing fatigue, especially during quick movements and landings.
Will the lacquer on the bottom of the boot affect performance?
No, the potential wearing off of the lacquer finish on the bottom of the boot during play is purely cosmetic and will not affect the performance or functionality of the product.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or cause discomfort
Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly, not overtightened. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if a different model might offer a better fit. Break-in period may be required for some users.
Traction feels insufficient on the pitch
Confirm that the boots are being used on their intended firm ground surface. Check the studs for excessive wear or debris buildup, cleaning them if necessary.
Upper material shows premature wear
Avoid abrasive contact with rough surfaces and ensure proper cleaning and drying procedures are followed to maintain material integrity.
Lacquer on the soleplate is wearing off
This is a cosmetic effect and does not impact the performance or structural integrity of the boot. Continue to use as normal.
