Full details
The New Balance Furon Elite FG V9 is a precision-engineered football boot designed for explosive attackers and players who prioritize speed and sharp, directional movement.

FAQs
Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?
The Furon Elite FG V9 is optimized for Firm Ground (natural grass). Using them on artificial grass may increase wear on the outsole and affect traction.
How do I clean the knitted collar?
Gently wipe the collar with a damp microfiber cloth. Avoid soaking the material to maintain its elasticity.
Are these boots waterproof?
They are water-resistant to a degree due to the TPU film, but they are not fully waterproof and should be dried properly if exposed to heavy rain.
Do I need to size up?
The Furon Elite is a performance-fit boot. If you prefer a slightly looser feel or have wider feet, you may consider trying a half-size larger than your standard shoe size.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is made from a high-quality one-piece mesh reinforced with a thin TPU film for durability and lockdown.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight during the first wear
The Furon series uses a performance fit; try wearing them for 15-20 minute intervals during training to gradually stretch the upper material.
Grass and dirt buildup in the studs
Use a specialized boot cleaning brush or a soft-bristled brush to remove debris from between the T-shaped studs after every match.
Laces coming undone during play
Ensure the laces are looped tightly through the central eyelets; double-knotting is recommended for players who experience high-intensity friction.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptionally lightweight construction for speed
- Excellent close-to-ball feel due to thin upper material

- Secure, supportive lockdown prevents foot sliding
Cons
- Streamlined fit may feel restrictive for wide feet
- Requires a break-in period to soften the materials
- Specifically optimized for firm ground, limiting surface versatility
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Furon Elite FG V9 boots, begin by wearing them for short training sessions to allow the upper to mold to your foot shape. Ensure the laces are tightened evenly through the central lacing system to distribute pressure across the bridge of your foot. Regarding compatibility, these boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) surfaces and should not be used on artificial grass or soft, muddy ground, as this may lead to premature wear or traction issues. For maintenance, remove excess dirt from the outsole after every game using a soft brush. Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed, and always allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material cracking.
