The New Balance 442 V2 Pro FG cleats are engineered for players who demand precision and control on firm, natural grass pitches. The premium leather upper offers an exquisite touch on the ball, allowing for nuanced dribbling, precise passing, and powerful shooting. The elite nylon plate works in conjunction with the specialized FG stud tips to provide a stable platform for rapid directional changes and explosive sprints, ensuring you maintain optimal grip without slipping. Internal cushioned pillows contribute significantly to reducing foot fatigue during extended play and keep your foot securely locked in place, minimizing internal movement. These cleats are ideal for midfielders, defenders, and forwards who prioritize a classic leather feel combined with modern, high-performance features in their game on dry or slightly damp natural grass.
Upon first use, it's recommended to wear the cleats during light activities or short training sessions to allow the premium leather upper to mold to the unique contours of your foot. This 'break-in' period is crucial for achieving the best fit and comfort. Ensure laces are tied securely but not overly tight to prevent discomfort.
These cleats are exclusively designed for Firm Ground (FG) natural grass pitches. Using them on artificial turf (AG), soft ground (SG), or indoor surfaces can damage the cleats and may void any warranty, in addition to compromising your stability and performance.
Cleaning: After each use, wipe off excess dirt and mud with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a soft brush and a mild soap solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners which can damage the leather.
Drying: Allow the cleats to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can cause the leather to crack and harden. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for athletic footwear to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking.
Storage: Store cleats in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
