About this product
The New Balance 442 V2 Academy FG in Black/White is a men's size 9.5 wide soccer cleat designed for firm ground. This model offers a wide (2E) fit, making it ideal for players with wider feet. The classic design focuses on comfort and durability, with a synthetic upper and a traditional stud pattern for stable traction on natural grass.
Our take
If you have wide feet like me, the New Balance 442 V2 Academy FG is a breath of fresh air. The 2E width gives my toes plenty of room without sacrificing lockdown. The upper is synthetic but feels decently soft out of the box, and the firm ground stud pattern grips well. For $79.99, it's a great value for a reliable, no-fuss cleat. The black and white colorway is understated but clean. I've worn them for several matches and they've held up well. My only gripe is that the synthetic material doesn't breathe as well as leather, but for the price and fit, I can't complain.
