How often should I clean my Tekela boots?

Troubleshooting
Accumulated mud affecting traction
Use a specialized boot cleaning brush to clear the studs and outsoles thoroughly after every use.
Boots feel stiff after storage
Gently massage the upper material to re-soften the polyester and ensure a proper fit before putting them on.
Foot slipping during play
Check the lacing tension and ensure you are wearing appropriate football-specific socks to increase grip inside the boot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your boots last through the season, focus on proper break-in and maintenance:
- Break-in Period: Wear the boots during light training sessions for 2-3 days before utilizing them in a high-intensity match.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt immediately after play using a soft-bristled brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for stubborn stains. Avoid submersing the boots in water.
- Drying: Air dry the boots naturally at room temperature. Never place them near direct heat sources like heaters or fireplaces, as this can degrade the polyester fibers and bonding agents.
- Surface Compatibility: These boots are best suited for firm natural grass surfaces. Avoid walking on concrete or asphalt, as this will prematurely wear down the outsoles.
