FAQs
Can I use the Tekela Elite FG on artificial grass?
These boots are designed for natural Firm Ground (FG). While they may be wearable on some artificial surfaces, it is not recommended as it will cause excessive wear to the studs and outsole.
Does this boot come in a wide fit?
The Tekela Elite V5 features an accommodating fit due to its lacing system, but it is standard width; for players with extremely wide feet, it is recommended to try them on in-store first.
How do I clean the synthetic upper?
Use a mild soap and a soft brush or cloth with cool water. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach which can damage the material surface.
Are these suitable for wet weather conditions?
Yes, the materials are designed to be water-resistant, but they should be properly cleaned and dried after muddy matches to prevent material stiffening.
How long is the break-in period?
Typically, these boots will reach optimal comfort after 2-3 training sessions, depending on the intensity of the wear.
Troubleshooting
Studs getting clogged with mud during play
Use a soft brush to clear the studs between matches to ensure consistent traction and prevent excess weight gain.
Feeling instability or slipping inside the boot
Re-lace the boots more tightly focusing on the midfoot eyelets and ensure you are wearing high-grip football socks.
Outsole surface showing signs of premature wear
Verify you are playing on natural firm grass; if playing on artificial grass, switch to a designated AG (Artificial Grass) soleplate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Tekela Elite boots perform at their best, begin by loosening the laces completely before your first use to allow the upper to mold to your foot shape naturally. These boots are intended exclusively for Firm Ground (FG) natural grass pitches; using them on artificial turf or concrete will cause premature wear to the outsole and potentially void performance integrity. After every match, wipe the upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove mud and debris. Remove the insoles if they become wet and air dry the boots naturally at room temperature. Never use a radiator or direct heat sources to dry the material, as this can cause the adhesives to degrade and the leather or synthetic upper to warp.
