The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- The shoe comes in a wide width option, which matters if standard soccer cleats feel too narrow on you.
- It uses firm ground studs rather than soft ground or artificial grass studs, so you'll want to make sure you're actually playing on firm pitches to get the right traction.
- The lace-up design means you can dial in how snug you want the fit, but it also means you're tying your shoes before every game instead of just slipping them on.
As of Aug 30, the New Balance Men's 442 V2 Academy FG Soccer Shoe is overpriced at $99.99 — versus a $79.60 typical price and a $44.99 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
