The New Balance Tekela Elite FG football boots are designed for elite-level players who demand total control and a dynamic touch on firm ground pitches. These boots enable precise ball manipulation, secure lockdown, and lightning-fast turns, helping you dictate the game with advanced vision and flawless technique. Be aware that the lacquer finish on the soleplate may wear off during play, though this will not affect performance.
These boots integrate several innovative technologies to enhance your game:
DynamicTouch Tech Upper: Features deboss channels and nanoprinted silicone elements for optimized boot-to-ball contact, allowing for precise manipulation and natural foot flex.
Clarino Microfibre Forefoot: Provides improved grip on the ball, essential for maintaining control in both wet and dry playing conditions.
Hypoknit Collar: A single-piece ergonomic design that offers a close, compressive fit for secure lockdown, with an offset instep zone to reduce pressure on foot nerves.
Rim Stud Technology: TPU angled rim studs strategically placed at the forefoot to deliver enhanced stability and traction, crucial for lightning-fast turns and directional changes.
Lightweight Nylon Outsole: Engineered to be light yet supportive, accommodating a multidirectional stud configuration for agile movements across the pitch.
Ortholite Sockliner: Absorbs impact forces to provide superior cushioning and comfort throughout the game.
Lace Closure: Ensures a traditional and customizable secure fit, allowing players to adjust tightness to their preference.
Recycled Content: The upper incorporates recycled materials, reflecting New Balance's commitment to environmental sustainability.

The New Balance Tekela Elite FG boots are engineered for players who want to command the game. The combination of the DynamicTouch Tech upper and Clarino microfibre forefoot translates directly to exceptional ball feel and control. Imagine threading a precise pass through a tight defense or executing a close-control dribble past an opponent; these features ensure every touch is deliberate and impactful. For example, a midfielder can confidently switch play with a long-range pass, knowing the boot provides the necessary grip and feel.
The Rim Stud Technology and multidirectional stud configuration on the lightweight nylon outsole are critical for agility. When you need to make a sharp cut to change direction or accelerate quickly to break away from a defender, these studs provide the necessary bite into the firm ground, reducing slippage and maximizing explosive power. A winger can utilize this to make rapid, unpredictable movements down the flank. The Hypoknit collar and Ortholite sockliner work together to keep your foot securely locked in and comfortable, minimizing distractions over 90 minutes of intense play. This secure fit ensures maximum energy transfer with every stride, enabling you to maintain peak performance without discomfort.
Lacing: Loosen the laces sufficiently to easily slide your foot into the boot. The Hypoknit collar provides a snug, compressive fit.
Fit Adjustment: Once your foot is in, gently pull on the laces from bottom to top to achieve a snug but comfortable fit. Ensure the knot is secure to prevent loosening during play. The seamfree offset instep zone is designed to reduce pressure.
Break-in Period: Like most high-performance footwear, these boots may require a short break-in period to fully adapt to your foot shape.
Pitch Type: These are Firm Ground (FG) football boots, designed exclusively for natural grass pitches that are firm and dry. Using them on artificial turf (AG), soft ground (SG), or indoor surfaces is not recommended and can damage the boots or affect performance.
User: Designed for adult players of unisex gender.
Cleaning After Use: After each match or training session, remove loose dirt and mud from the upper and soleplate using a soft brush or a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources (like radiators, hair dryers, or direct sunlight), as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag or box, to protect them from dust and damage.
Lacquer Wear: Please note that "The lacquer finish on the bottom of this boot may wear off during play but will not affect the performance of the product." This is a normal cosmetic occurrence and does not indicate a defect.
