About this product
The New Balance 442 V2 Academy FG soccer cleats in men's size 7.5 feature a black and white design with a wide (E) width. These firm ground cleats are part of the New Balance 442 line, designed for comfort and performance. The Academy level offers value for players seeking a reliable boot at a reasonable price.
Our take
I tried the New Balance 442 V2 Academy FG in wide size 7.5, and they're a great option if you have wide feet. The black and white colorway is classic. On firm ground, the studs provide decent grip. Being an Academy model, they focus on durability rather than premium materials. For $79.99, they're mid-range in price. The fit is roomy, which is a plus for wide-footed players. However, the synthetic upper lacks the touch of leather, and the break-in period was a bit stiff. Overall, a solid choice for comfort and value.
