About this product
The New Balance 442 Elite Knit HG/AG V3 soccer cleat (U41HM68I) is a men's low-top lace-up boot with a synthetic upper and plastic cleats. Designed for hard ground and artificial grass surfaces, it features a EE (2E) wide width and comes in a Sea Salt/Pink colorway. Priced at $240.00, this model is made in Vietnam and includes a California Prop 65 warning. The multi-size option allows for various foot measurements (e.g., US8/UK7.5/EU41.5/JP26).
Our take
I picked up the New Balance 442 Elite Knit HG/AG V3 in the Sea Salt/Pink color, and first impressions are solid. The synthetic upper feels sturdy but not overly stiff, and the 2E width gives my wide feet some breathing room. On hard ground and artificial grass, the plastic cleats provide decent traction without being too aggressive. However, at $240, these are an investment. The low-top shaft is standard, and the lace-up closure ensures a snug fit. The multi-size options are nice, but the lack of a knit upper might disappoint some looking for more pliability. Also, the Prop 65 warning is a bit off-putting. For the price, I expected a bit more premium feel, but they perform well for the intended surfaces.
