FAQs

What type of playing surfaces are these cleats best for?

The New Balance 442 V2 TEAM TF cleats are specifically designed for optimal performance on artificial turf and street surfaces.

Can I use these cleats on natural grass fields?

No, these cleats are not recommended for natural grass. Their rubber lugged outsole is engineered for turf and street, and using them on natural grass may result in suboptimal grip and accelerated wear.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Wipe the leather with a damp cloth after each use. For a deeper clean, use a mild leather cleaner. Always air dry away from direct heat and consider applying leather conditioner periodically.

What does 'full-grain leather' mean?

Full-grain leather is the highest quality and most durable part of the hide. It offers a natural, soft feel, excellent touch on the ball, and will mold to your foot over time for a personalized fit.

How should I store my cleats when not in use?

Store your cleats in a cool, dry place. Avoid direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. If they are damp, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture before storing.

Are these cleats suitable for wide feet?

Info needed: While the leather upper offers some natural stretch and molds to the foot, specific guidance for wide feet would require more detailed product information. They generally offer a flexible fit.

What is the return or warranty policy?

Info needed: Please refer to the retailer's or New Balance's official website for their current return and warranty policies.

Troubleshooting

Cleats feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

This is common with leather cleats. Wear them for several short training sessions to allow the full-grain leather to naturally mold and break in to your foot shape, which will improve comfort significantly.

Slipping or reduced grip during play.

Ensure you are playing on the correct surface. These cleats are designed for turf or street use. If you are on natural grass, the outsole will not provide optimal grip. Also, check the sole for any embedded debris that might be reducing traction.

Leather appears dry or is cracking.

The leather likely needs conditioning. Clean the cleats thoroughly, then apply a good quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and flexibility. Regular conditioning helps prevent drying and cracking.

Setup1. Lacing: Ensure the cleats are laced snugly but not too tightly. Utilize all eyelets for a secure fit that minimizes foot movement inside the boot.2. First Wear: Due to the leather upper, it's beneficial to wear them for short periods initially to allow the material to mold to your foot shape, enhancing comfort and fit over time.## CompatibilityThese cleats are specifically designed for turf (artificial grass) and street surfaces.
