FAQs
Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?
These are Firm Ground (FG) boots designed primarily for natural grass. While they may work on some artificial surfaces, check your local pitch guidelines as specialized turf boots may be preferred.
How do I maintain the knitted collar?
Keep it clean of dirt and avoid using harsh chemicals. If it gets wet, let it air dry completely to maintain its elasticity.
Does the Tekela V5 come in different widths?
The boot features a stretchy collar and flexible upper to accommodate various foot shapes, but it follows standard unisex sizing.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and materials. Clean by hand with a damp cloth.
What does FG stand for?
FG stands for Firm Ground, indicating that the stud pattern is designed for use on natural, dry, or slightly damp grass pitches.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight around the ankle.
The knitted collar is designed for a compressive fit. Try loosening the laces significantly before insertion and allow the fabric time to mold to your foot shape through wear.
Excessive slipping on the pitch.
Ensure that the turf surface is appropriate for Firm Ground (FG) boots. If the pitch is muddy, this type of stud configuration may lose its grip.
Accumulation of dirt in the upper channels.
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris from the deboss channels once the boots are dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Tekela V5 boots, ensure your studs are clear of any compacted mud or debris after every use. These boots are intended for firm ground (FG) surfaces and should not be used on concrete or excessively soft, waterlogged pitches to prevent premature wear or stud damage. To clean, wipe down the upper with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can damage the synthetic materials and the knitted collar.
