Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight after first wear
Wear the boots with thicker socks for a few short periods during training or around the house to gently stretch the materials. If the tightness persists, consult the retailer for potential sizing issues.
Traction feels inconsistent on the pitch
Ensure the studs are clean and free of mud or debris. If playing on a surface that is not firm ground, the traction may be reduced. These boots are optimized for dry, firm natural grass.
Outer material appears scuffed or worn quickly
Some minor scuffing is normal with elite football boots, especially during intensive play. Ensure you are playing on appropriate surfaces. Clean gently after use to maintain the appearance and integrity of the materials.
Laces are difficult to keep tied
Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot if necessary. Consider replacing standard laces with specialized boot laces that offer better grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup:
- Unpack your Tekela V5 Elite FG boots.
- Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably. If the fit is too tight, consider using boot shapers or wearing thicker socks during an initial break-in period.
Compatibility:
- These boots are designed specifically for Firm Ground (FG) pitches. Their stud configuration is optimized for natural grass surfaces that are relatively dry and firm.
- Avoid using these boots on artificial grass (AG), hard ground, or very wet/muddy pitches, as this can lead to reduced performance, excessive wear, and potential injury.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt and mud using a soft brush or a damp cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing the boots with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, away from direct sunlight.
