About this product
The New Balance 442 V2 Academy FG Black White Wide Soccer Cleats are built for firm ground and sized US 6.5 with a wide E width. Part of the 442 Academy line, these cleats offer a durable synthetic upper and a classic design at a mid-range price of $81. Black and white color scheme provides versatility. Designed for men, they are a practical choice for players who need extra room without upgrading to premium leather models.
Our take
The 442 V2 Academy is a solid workhorse boot. The wide fit in E width is comfortable—not as roomy as 2E but still generous. The synthetic upper is stiff at first but loosens up after a few sessions. They're not the most stylish, but they get the job done on the pitch. For $81, you're getting decent durability and good traction. The main downside is the lack of breathability; my feet got sweaty during long games. Overall, a reliable option for wide-footed players on a budget.
