FAQs
What type of playing surface are these boots designed for?
These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) natural grass pitches. Using them on artificial turf or soft, muddy ground is not recommended.
How should I clean my New Balance Tekela boots?
Clean them using a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt after each use. Avoid harsh cleaners or submerging the boots in water.
Do these boots require a break-in period?
Yes, like most performance football boots, a break-in period is recommended to allow the materials to mold to your foot shape for optimal comfort and performance. Wear them for training sessions before a match.
Are these boots suitable for players with wide feet?
The fit is designed for a standard adult foot. If you have particularly wide feet, it's advisable to try them on or consult sizing guides, as the 'Elite Low' fit may be snug.
What is the main benefit of the Tekela V5 Elite Low FG design?
The primary benefit is enhanced dynamic touch and full control, allowing players to manipulate the ball effectively and create scoring opportunities.
Can I use these boots in wet conditions?
While they offer grip on firm ground, they are not optimized for very wet or muddy pitches. For such conditions, boots with different stud patterns (like SG - Soft Ground) are more suitable.
What is the difference between FG and other soleplates?
FG (Firm Ground) is for natural grass. SG (Soft Ground) is for wet, muddy pitches with longer studs. AG (Artificial Grass) is specifically designed for synthetic surfaces. MG (Multi-Ground) offers versatility across multiple surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Wear them for short periods during light activity to allow them to break in. Ensure you have the correct size and consider using thinner or thicker socks as needed.
Traction issues on the pitch.
Confirm you are using the boots on their intended surface (Firm Ground). Ensure the studs are clean and free from debris. For very wet or muddy conditions, consider alternative footwear designed for those surfaces.
Laces come undone frequently.
Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing them with laces that offer better grip if this is a persistent problem.
Stitching or material appears damaged.
Inspect the boots for signs of excessive wear or damage. For manufacturing defects, refer to the warranty information. Avoid using the boots if significant damage could compromise performance or safety.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

Compatibility:
- Primarily designed for Firm Ground (FG) natural grass pitches. Use on artificial turf or very wet/muddy conditions is not recommended and may compromise performance and durability.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the boots.
