New Balance Tekela V5 Team FG Football Boots - Pink, Brown, UK 6.5

These boots are designed for Firm Ground (FG) and are best suited for natural grass pitches that are well-maintained and not excessively wet or muddy.

After use, gently brush off dirt with a soft brush or wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or detergents. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

No, the Firm Ground (FG) stud configuration is not recommended for artificial grass (AG) surfaces, as it may not provide optimal traction and could increase the risk of injury.

Rim Stud Technology refers to the additional clear studs located around the edge of the forefoot. They are designed to provide enhanced stability and grip during rapid turns and changes of direction.

The knitted collar provides a compressive, close-fitting feel for secure lockdown and comfort. While it offers a snug fit, it is designed more for lockdown and feel than for rigid ankle support.

Yes, the upper on these boots incorporates recycled content as part of New Balance's commitment to reducing environmental impact.

The Tekela range is endorsed by professional players such as Endrick, Raheem Sterling, Harvey Elliott, Jordyn Huitema, and Tim Weah.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate football socks. Try adjusting the lacing system to provide a more customized fit. If discomfort persists, the boots may not be the correct size or shape for your foot. Consider trying a different size or width if available.

Check that the studs are clean and free from debris. Ensure you are playing on the intended surface (firm natural grass). If playing on a slightly worn pitch, try to maintain a balanced stance during quick movements.

Ensure the lacing is not over-tightened around the ankle area. The offset instep zone is designed to relieve pressure, but individual fit can vary. Allow a break-in period for the collar to adapt to your foot's natural movement.

This may indicate playing on unsuitable surfaces (e.g., artificial turf or hard ground). Ensure the boots are used only on firm, natural grass as intended. Regular cleaning and proper drying can also help maintain material integrity.
