FAQs

What type of surface are these boots best suited for?

These are Firm Ground (FG) boots, designed primarily for use on natural, dry, and firm grass pitches.

How do I clean the microfiber upper?

Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. Avoid using detergents or soaking the boots.

Are these boots suitable for players with wide feet?

The design features a traditional fit. While the lacing system allows for some adjustment, players with exceptionally wide feet may find them snug. Refer to sizing guides and consider trying them on if possible.

What is the weight of these football boots?

The New Balance 442 Elite FG V3 football boots weigh approximately 213g, contributing to their lightweight feel.

Can these boots be used on artificial grass?

It is not recommended. FG boots are specifically designed for natural firm ground and may not provide adequate grip or could be damaged on artificial surfaces.

Do these boots contain recycled materials?

Yes, the boots are made in part with recycled materials.

What does 'TrueTouch Tech' refer to?

TrueTouch Tech is New Balance's designation for the microfiber synthetic upper material used in these boots, known for its lightweight feel and ability to provide a good touch on the ball.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie, ensuring the floating tongue is correctly positioned. Wear with appropriate football socks. Consider if the size is correct for your foot.

Traction is poor on the pitch

Ensure the studs are clean and free from mud or debris. The boots are designed for firm ground; performance may be compromised on wet or soft surfaces.

Discomfort during play

Check lacing for tightness and position. Ensure the EVA sockliner is properly seated. Break in the boots gradually over a few training sessions.

Material seems stiff

The TrueTouch Tech microfiber may feel firm initially. Consistent wear and play will help the material mold to your foot, increasing flexibility and comfort.
