FAQs
Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?
No, these are strictly designed for Firm Ground (FG) natural grass surfaces.
How do I maintain the silicone grip elements?
Keep them clean of mud and debris; simply wipe them down with a damp cloth after play.
Does the boot run true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard adult sizing, though the compressive collar creates a snug, locked-in feel.
Can I replace the sockliner?
Yes, the Ortholite sockliner is removable if you prefer to use your own orthotic insoles.
Why is the collar offset?
The collar is intentionally offset to prevent pressure on the nerves at the top of the foot, which is a common source of discomfort in many football boots.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from high-quality, lightweight microfibre that incorporates recycled content.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too stiff out of the box
Wear them during light training sessions for 1-2 hours to allow the heat from your feet to naturally soften the microfibre.
Accumulation of debris on the soleplate
Use a specialized boot brush or a dull plastic tool to gently remove debris from between the Rim Studs after every match.
Knitted collar feels difficult to put on
Ensure the laces are fully loosened before pulling the collar wide; the compression is intentional for lockdown, so pull evenly from the heel loop.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent ball control and touch via silicone grip elements
- Ergonomic collar relieves top-of-foot pressure
- Enhanced stability for turning on firm ground surfaces
- Lightweight construction reduces drag and fatigue
- Secure lockdown without restricting natural foot movement
Cons
- Compressive collar can feel tight for those with wider ankles
- Firm ground (FG) studs are specialized and not for artificial turf
- Requires break-in time for the microfibre upper to soften
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Tekela Elite boots, follow these guidelines:
- Surface Compatibility: These boots are designed exclusively for Firm Ground (FG) natural grass pitches. Avoid using them on artificial turf or hard courts to prevent premature stud wear and potential surface injury.
- Breaking In: Wear your boots for shorter training sessions before taking them into a competitive match to allow the microfibre upper to mold to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose mud using a soft brush. Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Never submerge the boots in water or use a washing machine, as this can degrade the bonding agents.
- Drying: Air dry only. Keep away from direct heat sources such as radiators or heaters, which can cause the material to stiffen or warp.
