Customer Reviews New Balance 442 V2 Academy FG Soccer Cleats

This shoe was a third purchase after two returns of other new balance football boots. 13 wide was too small. However, 13.5 wide was a perfect fit for me. I don't normally wear wide shoes but it was necessary for these boots. My everyday shoes are wide toe box minimalist shoes in size 13. The half a size was perfect. On the pitch, the boots perform great. I would have preferred full leather boots but this synthetic material was good. It feels real good kicking, receiving, and passing. They are also really comfortable both sprinting and running. I'm really happy with these boots.

My son has wider feet so has a real problem finding cleats to fit - Finding these available in a wide width was a game changer for him!

I got the 8.5 wide and it was a little bigger than I thought ( I have wide feet , but it is the length of the boots, I think I still have half inches space left from my toes to the tip of the shoe ) lucky I got insole to put on and it fits pretty good. I wear them 3 days a week (~2hr per section), two days on turf one day on flat ground. I notice some minor wearing on those studs after two weeks of playing. It is almost a month now and the cleats are still in good shape. Overall the cleats feel really comfy and reminds me of the adidas copa back in the old days
