FAQs
Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?
No, these are Firm Ground (FG) boots, designed primarily for natural grass pitches. Using them on artificial turf can lead to reduced traction, increased wear on the studs, and potential discomfort or injury.
What does 'Jnr FG V5' mean?
'Jnr' indicates they are for junior players. 'FG' stands for Firm Ground, specifying the type of surface they are intended for. 'V5' refers to the fifth version or iteration of this particular model of the Tekela boot.
How do I clean the synthetic upper?
Wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth after play. For tougher dirt, use mild soap and water, then rinse with a clean damp cloth. Always allow them to air dry.
What is the main benefit of the Tekela series?
The Tekela series is engineered to provide players with enhanced touch, control, and the ability to express their vision on the pitch, helping them create space and execute plays with precision.
How should I store my football boots?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. A breathable boot bag is ideal to allow air circulation and prevent moisture build-up.
Can these boots be used by girls?
While listed as 'Male' in some attributes, the design and function of football boots are generally unisex. They are suitable for any junior player looking for performance features.
What size is UK 11 for children?
A UK children's size 11 is a common size for young players. It's always recommended to check the specific foot measurement against New Balance's sizing chart for the most accurate fit.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Try wearing them with thin football socks for a short period indoors to allow the materials to stretch slightly. Ensure you have selected the correct size. If discomfort persists, consider if a different model might offer a better fit.
Poor traction on the pitch
Confirm that you are playing on a firm ground (natural grass) surface. If the pitch is wet or muddy, these FG boots may not provide optimal grip. Clean any debris from the studs.
Stitching appears to be coming undone
Inspect the stitching after each use. Minor fraying can sometimes be trimmed carefully with scissors. For significant issues, contact customer support regarding warranty.
Material feels stiff
Synthetic materials can sometimes feel stiff initially. Wear the boots for short durations during practice sessions to break them in gradually. Avoid excessive bending or twisting of the boots when not being worn.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots come ready to wear. Ensure the correct size is selected for optimal fit and performance. It is recommended to try them on indoors before use on the pitch to confirm comfort.
Compatibility: The Tekela Team Low Jnr FG V5 are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG). This means they are best suited for use on natural grass pitches that are dry and well-maintained. They are *not* recommended for artificial turf, hard surfaces, or very wet and muddy conditions, as the stud pattern may not provide adequate traction and could lead to slippage or premature wear.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt and mud using a soft brush or a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a breathable boot bag, away from direct sunlight.
