Product Information
Full details
The New Balance Tekela V5 Team TF is designed for adult football players who prioritize ball control, precision, and agility on turf surfaces. Its primary benefit is a highly responsive touch enabled by a specialized microfibre upper and a supportive, pressure-relieving collar design that keeps the foot secure during rapid directional changes. While these trainers offer excellent traction and cushioning for turf play, users should note that they are specifically optimized for artificial surfaces and may not provide the same performance on soft or wet natural grass.

FAQs
Are these suitable for natural grass?
These trainers are engineered for artificial turf (TF) and will provide the best traction on those surfaces. They may not perform well on loose or muddy natural grass.
How should I clean my Tekela V5 trainers?
Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap; do not submerge in water or use a washing machine.
What is the benefit of the offset collar?
The offset collar is designed to relieve pressure on the nerves located at the top of the foot, offering greater comfort during intense play.
Is the material sustainable?
Yes, the upper on every model of the Tekela V5 incorporates recycled content as part of New Balance’s sustainability initiative.
Are these true to size?
The Tekela V5 features a compressive fit due to the knitted collar. Most players find their standard size comfortable, but those who prefer extra room may want to consider this snug construction.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure or discomfort at the top of the foot
Adjust the lacing pattern to be less tight over the midfoot area and ensure the offset collar is positioned correctly.
Losing grip on turf
Check the outsole for compacted mud or rubber fill; clean the tread pattern thoroughly to restore the traction profile.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, ensure the size selection is snug but comfortable, as the knitted collar provides a compressive fit. The Tekela V5 is best suited for artificial turf pitches. To maintain the shoes, remove loose dirt and debris after each use with a soft brush. If the trainers become wet, air dry them at room temperature away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the synthetic materials and foam. Always check that the laces are correctly tensioned before play to maintain the integrity of the locked-down fit.
