FAQs
Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?
The Tekela V5 Elite is primarily engineered for firm ground (FG). Using them on artificial surfaces may lead to increased wear and decreased longevity.
How should I clean the black synthetic upper?
Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, which can damage the upper material.
How long is the typical break-in period?
Most players find that it takes 3 to 5 training sessions for the high-performance materials to stretch and conform to the specific shape of the foot.
Do these boots run true to size?
They are designed with an elite, snug fit. If you prefer a looser feel or intend to wear thick performance socks, you may want to consider this when selecting your size.
What does 'Elite' signify in this model?
The 'Elite' designation indicates that the boots are built with the highest tier of materials and technology offered by New Balance, intended for professional-level competitive play.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or pinching during the first few wears
This is common for elite-level boots. Increase wear time gradually during low-intensity sessions to allow the upper to mold to your foot shape.
Difficulty putting the boots on due to tight ankle collar
Loosen the laces significantly before entry and use a shoehorn if necessary to avoid straining the heel counter.
Excessive dirt buildup in the studs
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried grass and mud from the stud channels after every match to ensure consistent traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you lace the boots snugly without over-tightening to maintain circulation and comfort. These boots are primarily designed for firm ground (FG) natural grass pitches; using them on artificial turf or concrete may cause premature wear. To maintain the boots, wipe them down with a soft, damp cloth after every use to remove mud and debris. Stuff them with newspaper or a boot shaper to maintain their shape while drying. Never dry these boots near a direct heat source, such as a radiator, as this can damage the material and bonding agents.
