FAQs
What surfaces are these cleats suitable for?
These cleats are specifically designed for optimal performance on artificial turf fields (TF) and street surfaces.
Can I use these cleats on natural grass?
No, these cleats are not recommended for natural grass pitches. Their outsole is specialized for turf and street, and they will not provide proper grip or performance on natural grass.
How do I clean my New Balance 442 V2 TEAM TF cleats?
Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth after each use. For deeper cleaning, use a mild leather cleaner. Condition the leather periodically to maintain its suppleness. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is crafted from premium full-grain leather, offering a classic feel, durability, and excellent ball touch.
How should these cleats fit?
They should offer a snug, comfortable fit. The premium leather will conform to your foot over time, providing a flexible and personalized feel after a short break-in period.
Are these cleats waterproof?
While full-grain leather offers some natural water resistance, these cleats are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided, and prompt drying is recommended.
What makes the outsole 'lugged'?
The 'lugged' outsole refers to the pattern of numerous small, rubber studs or nubs that provide multi-directional traction and durability specifically on artificial turf and street surfaces, which are much harder than grass.
Troubleshooting
Cleats feel too tight or uncomfortable
Allow for a break-in period; the premium leather will naturally stretch and mold to your foot. Ensure you are wearing appropriate soccer socks. If discomfort persists, consider checking your size.
Reduced grip on turf/street surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris. The rubber lugs can accumulate dirt, affecting traction. If playing on worn-out artificial turf, grip may naturally be reduced.
Leather upper appears dry or cracked
Regularly clean and condition the leather using a specialized leather care product. Avoid leaving cleats in direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can dry out the material.
Unpleasant odor developing inside cleats
Remove insoles after each use and allow cleats to air dry thoroughly. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside to absorb moisture and neutralize odors. Wash insoles periodically.

Setting up your New Balance 442 V2 TEAM TF cleats is straightforward: simply put them on and lace them up securely. Allow a brief break-in period for the premium leather to fully mold to your foot for the most comfortable and personalized fit. These cleats are specifically designed and optimized for play on artificial turf fields and street surfaces. They are *not recommended* for use on natural grass pitches, as the outsole design will not provide optimal grip and may wear prematurely. For care, regularly clean the leather upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. Use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat. Remove insoles to air out after use to prevent odor. Store in a cool, dry place.
