FAQs
What does 'FG' stand for on these football boots?
'FG' stands for Firm Ground. These boots are designed with specific stud patterns suitable for use on natural grass pitches that are dry and firm.
Are these boots suitable for artificial turf?
No, the FG (Firm Ground) soleplate is not recommended for artificial turf. Using them on artificial surfaces can lead to premature wear of the studs and potential injury.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the size chart provided by New Balance. It's best to measure your foot length and compare it to the chart. Trying them on, if possible, is also recommended for the best fit.
What is the primary benefit of the Tekela series?
The Tekela series is designed for players who prioritize creating space and maintaining dynamic touch and full control on the pitch.
Can these boots be used by players of different positions?
Yes, while designed for elite players who excel at control and creation, players across various positions can benefit from the precision and agility they offer.
How long should I expect the break-in period to last?
The break-in period can vary depending on frequency of use and individual foot shape, but typically ranges from a few training sessions to a couple of weeks of consistent play.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Allow for a proper break-in period by wearing them for short durations during training. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly, not too tight. If discomfort persists, they may not be the right fit for your foot shape.
Reduced traction on the pitch.
Ensure the FG studs are clean and free from mud or debris. Check for excessive wear on the studs, which may indicate they need replacement.
Stitching appears to be coming loose.
Inspect the stitching carefully. Minor loose threads can sometimes be trimmed, but if structural stitching is affected, discontinue use and contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These football boots are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably before playing. It is recommended to wear them for short periods initially to allow for a break-in period.
Compatibility: The FG (Firm Ground) soleplate is optimized for use on natural grass pitches that are dry and firm. Avoid using these boots on artificial grass or very wet, muddy surfaces, as this can damage the studs and compromise performance.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents 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 breathable boot bag, to maintain their shape and condition.
