The control cleat that finally fits a wide foot

If your foot is wide, you know the trade most touch cleats force: cram a standard last, or size up until the heel slips. The Tekela Elite skips it. This is a top-tier control cleat on a genuine 2E wide last, so the wide-footed playmaker gets the touch and the lockdown without fighting the fit.

Built around the ball

Tekela is a control model, tuned for the first touch and the disguised pass, not the sprint. The Dynamic TouchTech microfiber upper adds deboss channels and grip texture across the strike zone for friction on the ball. A single-piece Hypoknit collar sits low and wraps the ankle, and an anatomical heel keeps the foot seated.

Who it's for

This is the serious wide-footed player's cleat, made for touch and turn rather than raw pace. The Tekela is worn at the top level by players like Endrick, Harvey Elliott, and Jordyn Huitema, and the Elite is the tier ProSoccer stocks for the wide-footed competitor.

FAQs about the New Balance Tekela Elite

Is the Tekela a speed cleat or a control cleat?

It's a control cleat. The Tekela line is tuned for touch, passing, and turning rather than straight-line pace, a playmaker's shoe.
