Customer Reviews New Balance PL4040v6 Baseball Cleats

Fits my big feet comfortably, I returned a different brand clear that arrived and was super tight. This one fit perfectly. Not made of the cheap plastic that some other brands are.

My son can only wear New Balance cleats for baseball... other brands hurt his feet so bad he was tempted to give up the sport he loves so much, until we found New Balance. They have made a huge difference for him. 100% recommend for any age division.

These are the most comfortable molded cleats I have ever owned. I would purchase them again.

Showing up at practice with new white shoes isn't a good idea but I got them dirty today. These shoes are great, lightweight, grippy, look great and I felt comfortable in them. My everyday shoes are always NB but this is my first pair of NB cleats, I would buy them again.

I have the gray shoe which is more white than gray. No matter, looks great and it feels awesome. Comfortable and looks great. Fits true to size and feels like a solid shoe on my feet. I would recommend this shoe.

Nice. Bought from NB before and ordered a half size big. Fit is OK.

really havwen't used them yet ( weather ) but fit is perfect and the look is great .

Great comfortable cleat. They don't last long at all but great for my kid with severs.

Older guy with wide feet now. Size 13 2x Wides took a while to arrive but I like them and they do what I got them for. Nuff said

I was a Nike head playing all the way through Div. 1 college baseball. Over the last 12 years I've enjoyed trying out different products from different brands while playing in competitive men's baseball leagues. I can honestly say that out of the box, these were the most comfortable cleats I've put on my feet. The Fit Weave upper is breathable, soft, and seems to mold to your feet. With many baseball cleats, the toe area is reinforced with harder materials for durability against movements such as toe drag. I've had plenty of issues in this area from jamming my big toe into the front of my cleats while running bases. These cleats manage to keep that area soft yet durable which eliminated that problem for me. No more toe pain, exactly what I'd always been looking for. Over the course of the season however, the upper seemed to continue to get softer and softer, therefore become slightly less supportive. I had to continue to tighten my laces more and more to keep my forefoot from shifting slightly side to side on lateral movements (i.e. first step stealing second). Another factor involving the lack of lateral support is the actual material of the outsole/cleats. Like other reviews have said, it's simply too soft. I personally didn't have any longevity issues with them lasting through the season, but on specific movements such as rounding bases while running hard, or a first step to steal, the outer cleats seem to almost give out and fold under your feet. That sensation combined with a soft upper took a bit of confidence away from being able to round the bases at 100% or react defensively to a ground ball in the hole. I assume this issue is nonexistent with the metal version due to the fact that it's a harder material, but that shouldn't matter. It is not a good thing for a cleat that's supposed to be built for speed. Lateral support issues aside, the FuelCell midsole stayed soft and responsive all season, a definite positive to go along with the overall comfort. At the end of the season, I still enjoyed using this cleat and still recommend it to my team mates. The comfort of New Balance has fully converted me from Nike. I loved this cleat but it's not perfect. It has great potential if New Balance can manage to keep it lightweight while reinforcing the lateral support specifically around the forefoot. If they do that in the future, it would no doubt be a 5 star baseball cleat.

Bought for softball, very comfortable. Feels like a sneaker on the field.

My first pair of cleats for softball. Good so far although I'm disappointed that I had to go to a size 13 in order to get the proper width -- I'm really a size 12 1/2. They are comfortable.

We just received these cleats in all black and from looks they looks great! Hoping they last rec season, travel and all stars throughout the summer and fall. Wished they had offered wide option when I ordered.

I love the cleats. They are incredibly comfortable and fit my running style perfectly. They look great too. However, I have worn them 5 times now. 1 time in practice and in 4 games, and the spikes are already shaved down to nubs. I love the cleats, just wish there was a way to make the spikes a little more durable.

First off, I loved these cleats out of the box. For me they ran true to size and were lightweight and comfortable. As a new dad they were decent cleats to transition into the New Balance brand but a bit too flashy after having the 608's for a few months. These cleats are probably not the best lawn-mowing shoes for those of you wanting to multi-task. If you want lawn-mowing shoes grab the 608's. I want to give these cleats more stars but they only get 3. One for each game I was able to wear them before the eyelet ripped making it impossible to lace up. A customer rep said I'm able to exchange them and I'm likely going to grab another pair and hope this was just a fluke. I like them that much.

I love New Balance shoes, I have several pairs and have been wearing them for years but this recent purchase of baseball cleats let me down. I should have listened to the reviews of people saying they run small but alas, I ignored and am now paying the price. These were expensive cleats; Nike, Adidas, Under Armor are all cheaper but I wanted the best so I got a size 10 and sure enough, I have a blister on my big toe because they're too small. I should have gotten at 10.5 but it's just disappointing that now I can't even return them because I wore them on the field. $100+ in the garbage. Now I have to use my old pair of Nikes when I should be rounding bases in my favorite New Balance.

Probably the worst cleat I had ever wore. DO NOT BUY:((((((((

We purchased a pair back in February and finally started playing baseball a few weeks ago. After 1 outdoor practice and 2 games the front part of the sole has started to detach.

Shoes were very thin and narrow, sprained ankle or broken foot waiting to happen.
