About this product
The New Balance 442 V2 Academy FG soccer cleats are available in kids' size 10.5 with a wide width. These black cleats are designed for firm ground, offering a traditional leather feel with modern comfort. Made in China, the 442 V2 Academy is known for its durable construction and classic silhouette. Ideal for young players needing a supportive wide fit for natural grass surfaces.
Our take
My son has wide feet, so the New Balance 442 V2 Academy was a great find. The wide width accommodates comfortably without pinching. The leather upper is soft and requires minimal break-in. On firm ground, the studs provide reliable traction. However, the all-black look is a bit boring for kids, and the price is higher than some competitors. Also, the synthetic lining doesn't breathe as well as mesh. Overall, a good choice for wide-footed young players who prioritize fit over flash.
