For me the NB 442 V2 pro is a boot I honestly always have it in my bag alongside my mizuno morelia 2,Asics DS Light X Fly 4 and tiempo legend 9 elites(stocked up 8 pairs 6 for wearing and 2 for collection). Just ticked everything in terms of fit,comfort,durability and versatility in terms of what field you can use. It’s a pair I always come back to wear em. Really enjoyed the review and been 3 months it’s still going strong even though the caveat is that I rotate with my mizuno,Nike and Asics boots
I have the morelia 2 but my feet overspill on the sole plate and makes my feet ache. Do you know if the new balance 442s are any better? Also can the FG be used on AG?
@@juliusdowning6639 in terms of quality I say the NB 442 is a step below the Mizuno but fit wise it’s definitely up there and given this conical studs it’s perfectly fine for AG
they actually do have an HG version, which I bought from Japan. The studs are short, bigger and overall soleplate is thicker and tougher. Basically built more like a tank. The overall boot is also heavier as a result.
Hey going to buy it tomorrow from japan can hg be played in fg pitches any disadvantage bro because i see hg and ag which means i can obv wear it at artifical but what about natural grass
@@user-hv6kt4ro8r hey have a little bit of courtesy cos I don't owe you anything ya. The AG can be used on FG but I would recommend more on harder and dryer grass pitch.
hi Charles, I have the same opinion as you. I have enormously wide feet so I just order the 2E without thinking. This is the ONLY boot that fits me comfortable out of box. It's so wide that i even have a little bit of space left in mid foot, which of the MANY boots i have tried, only the true to size Adler Horenso managed to do so. So now i am also contemplating to go down half a size for the 442 should i get another pair. So please do update how it goes should u decide to go down half a size! Thanks!
I went with a size 9 too. They fit about a half inch longer than my other cleats.. I don’t like selling things so I plan on just keeping them for now. How did these feel during games for you? Was the extra space annoying or not too noticeable? I plan on buying a second pair in a size 8.5 btw Good review 👍
how can you ID the wider (2E) boots. i bought ones and i guessed that NB were by definition for wider feet like myself. Any hint on the boots, that we can ID as wide? or in the box?
Severely underrated boots. Have k leather, lightweight, good on turf, super comfortable. Definitely did not expect these to be as good as they are
Facts, if I didn’t have much so much extra room easily a top 4 boot of the year

This guy knows boots 🗣️ seriously though if the 8.5 fits better I’ll deffo have them in my bag a lot more!
@@haltsboots well I wear mine in a 8.5 and for me at least it fits quite well. Think going down half a size might do the track.

Are these better than the Morelia 2/Nike Premier?

Interesting

@@similingun7985 why are you mad bro
Any update? On the size?

I’m so mad I didn’t get that gold launch color way, I believe it’s the only color that’s a full leather upper
It's worst when its full leather you need lock down and if u have a extra wide midfoot go with the wide version
Same here,
Almost bought them and decided not too :/

Good review 👍

did you actually went ahead and got it in 8.5 size? I am also facing the same issue with these boots. can't decide whether to get size 10 or 9.5
Unfortunately no, I just try and get the best review started most of the time
@@haltsboots do you think 9.5 will stretch enough?
How would you compare these to nike tiempo legend 10 pro or elite
Different boot, different feel
would it be worth the upgrade and is there a big difference between elite and pro for tiempo@@haltsboots
would it be worth getting tiempos over these and is there a big difference between the elites and pros @@haltsboots
better question, MORELIA NEO II MADE IN JAPAN or these. how much better are the neo 2s? @@haltsboots
So, based on what you said in the review, in your opinion if I have 9 UK (9.5 USA) on the Adidas Copa Pure .1 FG what should I get for these?
Really hard for me to answer because I have no clue what your feet are like mate, I wore a 9 US in both Copa pure.1 and the 442
Sole separation is really an issue with these boots, it happened after 3/4 training sessions
for real? FG or AG? 4 sessions is nothing 🤨
I bought them they fit half size down
Dallas? Yuck 🤮
Relaxxxxxxx 🤣
