How do I clean my New Balance 442 Elite Knit FG V3 boots?

Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap after use. Remove excess dirt with a soft brush. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

Are these boots suitable for wide feet?

The Hypoknit closure offers a flexible, adaptive fit. While designed for a snug feel, individual fit can vary. It's recommended to try them on if possible.

What is the weight of these football boots?

The approximate weight of these boots is 196g.

Do these boots contain recycled materials?

Yes, the 442 Elite Knit FG V3 boots are made in part with recycled materials.

Can I use these boots on artificial grass?

These boots are specifically for Firm Ground (FG). Using them on artificial grass or other surfaces may lead to reduced performance, increased wear, and potential injury.

What does 'Elite Knit FG V3' mean?

'Elite Knit' refers to the advanced knit construction of the upper. 'FG' stands for Firm Ground, indicating the intended playing surface. 'V3' signifies this is the third iteration or version of the model.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight initially

The Hypoknit upper may require a short break-in period. Wear them for light training sessions or around the house for a few hours to allow them to mold to your foot shape.

Traction is poor on the pitch

Ensure you are using the boots on the intended Firm Ground (FG) surface. Check studs for excessive wear or debris that may be lodged between them.

Discomfort around the ankle

Verify the lacing is snug but not overly tight. The Hypoknit collar is designed to provide support; ensure it's not constricting blood flow.

Mud or debris stuck in studs

Gently clean the soleplate with a soft brush or a damp cloth to remove any lodged material, which can compromise traction.
