Product Information

Full details

The New Balance Tekela V5 Team FG football boots are designed for adult, unisex players seeking next-level vision and flawless technique on firm ground. Their key benefit lies in offering total control and a dynamic touch to dictate play, thanks to a lightweight microfibre upper with deboss channels for precise ball manipulation. A potential caveat is that FG (Firm Ground) boots are specifically designed for natural, dry grass pitches and may not perform optimally or could be damaged on artificial surfaces.

FAQs

What type of pitch are these boots best suited for?

These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) natural grass pitches. They provide optimal traction and performance on dry to slightly moist grass.

How do I clean my Tekela V5 boots?

After playing, brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. Wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid machine washing or soaking them in water. Let them air dry naturally away from heat.

Can these boots be used on artificial turf?

No, these FG boots are not recommended for artificial turf. The studs can get stuck, potentially causing damage to the boots and increasing the risk of injury.

What does 'Rim Stud Technology' do?

Rim Stud Technology features additional studs around the edge of the forefoot. This design enhances stability and provides superior traction during quick turns and directional changes.

Are these boots suitable for wide feet?

The Tekela V5 offers a snug, locked-in fit. While the design aims for comfort with an offset instep zone, players with significantly wide feet may find them restrictive. Trying them on is recommended.

What is the benefit of the knitted collar?

The stretchy knitted collar provides a secure, compressive fit around the ankle, offering comfortable lockdown and preventing slippage during play. The ergonomic design ensures a close feel.

Does the upper material affect ball control?

The lightweight microfibre upper features deboss channels in key areas. This design is intended to optimize boot-to-ball contact, allowing for precise manipulation and enhanced control.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight or cause pressure points.

Loosen the laces, especially around the midfoot. Ensure the seamfree offset instep zone is correctly aligned with your foot's anatomy. If pressure persists, consider using thinner socks or consulting a professional for potential stretching.

Reduced traction on wet grass.

While designed for firm ground, excessive moisture can affect grip. Ensure the studs are clean and free from debris. For very wet conditions, consider alternative boots designed for soft ground (SG).

Dirt accumulation in stud grooves.

Use a small brush or a sharp, non-metallic object to carefully clear mud and debris from the stud base and grooves after each use. This ensures optimal traction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers excellent ball control and precise touch.
  • Lightweight design enhances agility and speed.
  • Comfortable and secure fit due to knitted collar and offset instep zone.
  • Improved stability and traction for sharp turns on firm ground.
  • Incorporates sustainable materials in its construction.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for firm ground (FG) surfaces; performance may be compromised on other pitches.
  • Microfibre upper may require specific care to maintain its properties.
  • Lace closure requires manual adjustment for optimal fit.
  • Durability on harder or artificial surfaces is not guaranteed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear football boots. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably before play. Lace them up to achieve a secure lockdown, adjusting the tension across the midfoot as needed.

Compatibility: The Tekela V5 Team FG boots are designed for use on Firm Ground (FG) natural grass pitches. They are not recommended for artificial grass, hard surfaces, or indoor courts, as this can damage the stud configuration and compromise performance.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Stuff the boots with newspaper to absorb moisture and help them retain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a breathable boot bag, to prevent damage and odors.
