FAQs

What type of surface are these boots designed for?

These boots are designed for Firm Ground (FG) surfaces, typically natural grass pitches.

How do I clean my Tekela V5 Elite boots?

Wipe them with a damp cloth after removing excess dirt with a soft brush. Avoid soaking them or using harsh cleaning agents. Always air dry away from direct heat.

Do these boots offer good ankle support?

The Tekela V5 Elite features a Hypoknit collar for a secure fit, but it is a low-cut boot and does not provide substantial rigid ankle support. Players requiring significant ankle stability may consider high-cut models.

What makes the grip on the ball special?

The boots feature a Dynamic Touch Tech upper with deboss channels and nanoprinted silicone grip elements, combined with a Clarino microfibre forefoot, to optimize ball control and grip in various conditions.

Are these boots suitable for players with wide feet?

While the unisex design aims for a broad fit, the snug nature of the Hypoknit collar and specialized upper might be less accommodating for very wide feet. A try-on is recommended if possible.

What does 'Rim Stud Technology' do?

This technology involves TPU angled rim studs on the forefoot that provide enhanced support and stability, particularly during quick, multi-directional turns.

Is the product environmentally friendly?

Yes, the upper incorporates recycled content as part of New Balance's commitment to sustainability.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

This is normal for new football boots. Wear them for short training sessions or around the house to allow them to break in and mold to your foot shape. The Ortholite insert will also compress slightly with use.

Traction feels inconsistent on wet grass.

Ensure the studs are clean and free from mud. The Clarino microfibre forefoot enhances grip, but heavy mud buildup can still reduce effectiveness. Clean studs thoroughly after each use.

Lacquer on the soleplate is peeling off.

This is a cosmetic issue related to the finish and does not affect the performance or structural integrity of the boot. Continue to use the boots as normal.

Laces are difficult to tighten securely.

Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets. Try re-lacing them, ensuring an even tension across the foot. The Hypoknit collar should provide a secure base, making lacing adjustments straightforward.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent ball control and touch due to specialized upper design.
  • Secure and comfortable fit with Hypoknit collar and offset instep zone.
  • Enhanced agility and stability during quick turns with Rim Stud Technology.
  • Comfortable cushioning from the Ortholite insert.
  • Durable construction suitable for firm ground play.
  • Environmentally conscious design using recycled materials.

Cons

  • May require a break-in period for optimal comfort.
  • Lacquer finish on the soleplate may wear off during play, though performance is unaffected.
  • Primarily designed for firm ground; performance on other surfaces may vary.
  • The low-cut design might not offer the ankle support some players prefer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup:

These football boots are designed for immediate use. Ensure you have the correct size for a snug fit. The lace closure allows for adjustment to your preference. It is recommended to wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to mold to your feet.

Compatibility:

  • Surface: Optimized for Firm Ground (FG) natural grass pitches. Use on artificial grass or other surfaces may lead to premature wear or affect performance.
  • Fit: Suitable for adult players. The unisex design accommodates a wide range of foot shapes, though the low-cut style is best suited for those who do not require significant ankle support.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: After use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush. Wipe the boots with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the boots in water.
  • Drying: Air dry the boots naturally away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), as excessive heat can damage the materials. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and damage.
  • Stud Maintenance: Check studs regularly for wear and tear. Ensure they are clean to maintain optimal traction.
