The New Balance 442 V2 Pro FG boots are engineered for players who demand precision and comfort on the pitch. The premium K-leather vamp provides an unrivaled touch on the ball, allowing you to dictate the play from deep with accurate passes or lash in 30-yarders with confidence. The new stitching pattern works in harmony with the natural properties of the leather to give you a true feel for the ball, enhancing dribbling, passing, and shooting accuracy.
The Elite Pro nylon soleplate, designed for firm ground, ensures you maintain maximum grip and stability during sharp turns, quick sprints, and sudden stops. This means you can change direction explosively and maintain balance during critical moments. The internal pod cushioning and streamlined tongue contribute significantly to comfort, reducing foot fatigue over 90 minutes of play, making them ideal for midfielders, defenders, and strikers alike who value a classic feel with modern performance benefits.
Setup:
Initial Wear: Try on the boots with your preferred football socks to ensure a comfortable fit. Walk around to get a feel for them. Leather boots often mold to your feet over time.
Lacing: Lace the boots securely but not excessively tight to allow for circulation and natural foot movement. Experiment with different lacing patterns if you experience pressure points.
Compatibility:
Playing Surface: These boots are designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches. This includes natural grass fields that are dry to slightly wet. Using them on artificial turf (AG) or soft ground (SG) may damage the boots and compromise performance.
Player Type: Suitable for adult male players looking for a classic leather boot experience with modern comfort and traction.
Care:
Cleaning After Use: After every match or training session, wipe off dirt and mud with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh brushes that can damage the leather.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can cause the K-leather to crack and stiffen.
Stuffing: Stuff the boots with newspaper or a boot shaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape while drying.
Conditioning (Optional): Periodically apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for football boots to keep the K-leather soft, supple, and to prevent drying and cracking. Follow the product's instructions for application.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag to protect them from dust and damage.
