Product Information
Full details
The New Balance Tekela V5 Team TF is designed for adult football players seeking enhanced ball control and dynamic movement on turf surfaces. These trainers provide a precise touch through specialized deboss channels and high-level comfort via an EVA midsole, though they are specifically optimized for artificial turf and may not provide the same traction on natural grass pitches.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for 3G or 4G turf?
Yes, the TF (Turf) designation is specifically optimized for artificial surfaces including 3G and 4G pitches.
Can I use these on dry natural grass?
While you can use them, the grip is designed for turf, and you may find they lack the necessary penetration for firm or soft natural grass.
How should I clean my New Balance Tekela trainers?
Use a soft brush to remove surface debris and a damp cloth for the upper. Never machine wash or tumble dry.
Do these trainers fit true to size?
The Tekela V5 generally fits true to size, but the compressive collar provides a snug, performance-oriented fit.
What is the primary benefit of the deboss channels?
The channels allow the material to flex naturally with your foot while providing grip zones for better control when dribbling and passing.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty putting on the shoe due to the knitted collar
Ensure the pull tabs are utilized and the collar is fully stretched open; applying a small amount of tension to the heel area helps the foot slide in smoothly.
Accumulation of turf pellets in the shoe
Ensure the knitted collar is pulled snugly against the ankle; consider wearing football-specific performance socks that add a barrier at the collar line.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best performance, ensure you are wearing the correct size to maximize the utility of the compressive knitted collar. The shoes are strictly compatible with artificial turf (TF) surfaces. To maintain the life of your trainers, remove excess turf rubber beads or dirt from the outsole after each session using a soft-bristled brush. Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area. Avoid direct heat sources or machine washing, as these can compromise the structural integrity of the upper material and adhesive bonds.
