FAQs
Who are the New Balance Tekela boots designed for?
They are designed for elite-level football players who focus on dynamic touch, full control, and creating space on the pitch.
What type of playing surface are these boots suitable for?
These are Firm Ground (FG) boots, best suited for natural grass pitches that are slightly damp to firm.
How do I clean my Tekela football boots?
Wipe off excess dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth after use. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What is the main benefit of the Tekela series?
The primary benefit is enhanced ball control and touch, allowing players to 'see what they can't see' and 'do what they can't' by creating opportunities.
Do these boots require a break-in period?
Yes, like many performance football boots, they may require a short break-in period to achieve maximum comfort and adapt to your foot shape.
Are these boots available in different sizes and colors?
Yes, the Tekela series is typically available in a range of adult and youth sizes, and various colorways, although specific availability may vary.
What is the advantage of the 'Low' cut design?
The low-cut design offers maximum freedom of movement around the ankle, appealing to players who prefer an unrestricted feel and agility.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight during initial wear
This is common for performance boots. Wear them for short periods during light training sessions to allow them to break in and mold to your foot shape. Ensure laces are not over-tightened.
Traction feels inconsistent on wet grass
The FG soleplate is optimized for firm, dry natural grass. Performance may be reduced on very wet or soft ground. For such conditions, consider boots with SG (Soft Ground) studs.
Laces come undone during play
Double-knot the laces securely. Consider replacing the original laces with a more grippy, flat-style lace if this is a persistent issue.
Visible wear on the upper after a few uses
Ensure you are only using the boots on intended firm ground surfaces and avoiding contact with rougher materials like concrete or artificial turf. Proper cleaning after each use can also help maintain the appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These football boots are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably before your first use. If new to this style of boot, consider a short, light session to allow them to mold to your feet.
Compatibility: The Tekela Elite Low FG V5 is designed for use on Firm Ground (FG) natural grass pitches. Avoid use on artificial grass, hard ground, or wet, muddy surfaces, as this can damage the studs and compromise performance and durability.
Care: After each use, remove excess dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners. Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature; avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Consider using boot trees to help maintain their shape.
