FAQs
What does 'FG' stand for on these football boots?
FG stands for Firm Ground. This indicates that the boots are designed with a specific stud pattern optimized for traction on firm, natural grass pitches.
Are these boots suitable for artificial grass (AG)?
No, the Tekela Elite Low FG V5 are not recommended for artificial grass. The FG stud configuration can cause discomfort, reduced performance, and potential damage to the boots when used on AG surfaces.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart for football boots. It's important to have a snug fit without being overly tight to ensure optimal performance and comfort. Trying them on with your usual football socks is recommended.
What is the main advantage of the synthetic material used?
The synthetic material provides a lightweight construction, enhanced durability, and a responsive touch on the ball, allowing for precise control and agility during play.
Can I wash these boots in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and structure of the boots. Hand cleaning with a brush and damp cloth is the preferred method.
What kind of player is the Tekela V5 Elite Low FG best suited for?
These boots are designed for elite-level players who prioritize dynamic touch, full control, and the ability to create space on firm ground pitches. They are ideal for midfielders and attackers.
Do these boots offer good ankle support?
The Tekela V5 Elite Low features a low-cut design, prioritizing freedom of movement. While it provides a secure fit, players requiring significant ankle support might prefer a mid-cut or high-cut model.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Try wearing them for short periods with medium-thickness socks. Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly, not too tight or too loose. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, consider if the size is appropriate or if the boot shape is not suitable for your foot type.
Traction issues on wet grass
The FG (Firm Ground) soleplate is optimized for drier, firmer pitches. Performance may be reduced on very wet or muddy surfaces. Consider alternative boot types if you frequently play in such conditions.
Visible wear and tear on the upper
Inspect the boots for any tears or excessive abrasion. Synthetic materials can be durable, but repeated exposure to rough surfaces or impacts can cause wear. Ensure you are using them on appropriate surfaces and avoid contact with sharp objects.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These are ready-to-wear football boots. Ensure you have the correct size for a secure and comfortable fit. It is recommended to wear them for a short training session before a match to allow for a minor break-in period.
Compatibility: The Tekela Elite Low FG V5 are specifically designed for use on firm ground (FG) natural grass pitches. They are not suitable for artificial grass, hard ground, or indoor surfaces, as the stud configuration can lead to discomfort or damage.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources such as radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, to maintain their shape and condition.
