What the Tekela Elite is built for

Tekela is New Balance's control boot. It is made for players who create space with touch and passing rather than raw pace, so it suits midfielders, playmakers and creative attackers who want a close feel on the ball.

What defines it

  • A Dynamic TouchTech upper made from lightweight microfibre PU, with deboss channels and printed grip elements for a closer boot-to-ball feel
  • A one-piece Hypoknit collar designed around the contours of the ankle, for a close but comfortable lockdown
  • Central lacing for easy entry
  • A 3D moulded insole and a performance sockliner for cushioning
  • A weight of around 207 g

Which size should you order?

New Balance recommends ordering one full size larger than your normal shoe size. That is the most useful thing to know before you buy, because the fit is close by design. If you are unsure, check the size guide before you order.

Which soleplate should you choose?

The Tekela Elite is made for several surfaces. The FG (firm ground) version uses a nylon outsole with a mix of conical and bladed rim studs in the forefoot, made for firm natural grass that can be slightly wet. The MG (multi-ground) version has half-moon and conical studs around the ball of the foot, designed to improve rotational traction on natural and artificial grass. The SG (soft ground) version is for soft, wet natural pitches. An FG boot is not designed for the extra friction of artificial grass.
