Product Information

Full details

For adult unisex players seeking enhanced ball control and dynamic agility on firm ground, the New Balance Tekela V5 Team FG football boots offer a lightweight, precise feel. A key benefit is their ability to facilitate precise ball manipulation and natural foot flex, though the firm ground soleplate may not be ideal for extremely wet or muddy conditions. These boots feature a microfibre upper with deboss channels, a secure knitted collar, and innovative Rim Stud Technology for superior traction during turns. Additionally, the EVA sockliner provides cushioning, and the upper incorporates recycled materials for sustainability.

FAQs

What type of pitch are these boots designed for?

The New Balance Tekela V5 Team FG boots are designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches, which are typically natural grass fields that are dry and well-maintained.

How do I ensure the best fit with the knitted collar?

The knitted collar is designed to provide a secure, compressive fit. Lace the boots evenly, ensuring they are snug but not uncomfortably tight. The offset instep zone aims to relieve pressure while maintaining lockdown.

Are these boots suitable for players with wide feet?

The Tekela V5 features a microfibre upper designed for a flexible fit. While not specifically wide-fitting, the materials can adapt. However, players with extremely wide feet might find them snug, and trying them on is recommended if possible.

How does the 'Rim Stud Technology' benefit performance?

The angled TPU rim studs around the forefoot provide enhanced stability and grip, particularly during rapid turns and directional changes. This helps players maintain balance and generate power when cutting or pivoting.

Can I use these boots on artificial grass?

No, these Firm Ground (FG) boots are not recommended for artificial grass. Using them on AG surfaces can lead to reduced traction, excessive stud pressure, and potential damage to the boots or increased risk of injury.

What is the benefit of the EVA sockliner?

The EVA sockliner is designed to absorb impact forces from the ground, providing cushioning and comfort during play. This helps reduce fatigue over the course of a match or training session.

Do these boots contain recycled materials?

Yes, the upper on every model of the Tekela V5 incorporates recycled content as part of New Balance's commitment to sustainability.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable after initial wear.

Ensure laces are adjusted correctly. Try wearing thinner socks or using the boots for shorter periods initially to allow them to stretch and mold to your feet. Check that you have the correct size.

Traction feels insufficient on damp or soft ground.

These are Firm Ground (FG) boots and are not designed for soft or wet conditions. For such surfaces, consider using boots with a different soleplate configuration (e.g., SG or AG).

The knitted collar feels restrictive.

The knitted collar is designed for a secure lockdown. If it feels too tight, try adjusting the lacing higher up the foot to allow more freedom, or ensure the seamfree offset instep zone is aligned correctly with your foot's anatomy.

Outer material appears scuffed or dirty.

Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive materials that could further damage the upper. For optimal ball touch, ensure the debossed channels are kept clear of debris.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent ball control due to optimized upper design.
  • Comfortable and secure fit with the knitted collar and offset instep.
  • Enhanced stability and traction for quick directional changes.
  • Lightweight construction reduces fatigue.
  • Cushioning through EVA sockliner improves comfort.
  • Sustainable materials used in construction.

Cons

  • Firm ground (FG) soleplate is not suitable for soft, wet, or artificial grass pitches.
  • Microfibre upper may require careful cleaning to maintain its texture.
  • The secure lockdown might feel restrictive for players preferring a looser fit.
  • Offset instep design, while reducing pressure, might take some getting used to.
  • Limited breathability compared to boots with mesh panels.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Lacing: Ensure the boots are laced evenly, using the traditional lace closure for a secure fit. Adjust tightness based on personal preference, ensuring comfort without restricting blood flow.
  2. Initial Wear: Wear the boots around the house for a short period to break them in and allow the materials to conform to your feet.

Compatibility:

  • Pitch Type: These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG). They are best suited for natural grass pitches that are dry and well-maintained. They are not recommended for soft ground, heavy mud, or artificial turf, as the stud configuration may not provide optimal traction and could increase the risk of injury.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or a dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the boots in water.
  • Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, to protect them from dust and moisture.
