Boots feel tight or uncomfortable initially
The Tekela boots, especially those with leather uppers, may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short training sessions initially to allow them to mold to your foot shape.

Ensure the FG studs are clean and free from mud. For exceptionally wet conditions, consider a boot designed for soft ground (SG) if available.
