This shoe runs small, so I got a 1/2 size up and it fits perfect. I advise that you wear socks that are taller than ankle socks because after a day of wear I had noticed the tongue and heel top rubbing against my ankles. The black suede at the tip of shoes will fade after a week or so, but that seems to be normal with suede dyed in dark colors. Also the number prints on the sole inserts started to peel off after a week of wear.After all thats said, I still consider this a keeper. It looks great and I like the fit.

I use these for indoor soccer (futsal).Great fit and very comfortable, zero break-in time, I ordered 2E for my wide feet. Very happy overall.The only feedback for the designer/maker would be about the rubber sole - I would prefer for the edges to be more round than squared like they are now. If you compare with the Mizuno Morelia, you would know what I mean. I feel (without hard evidence) the round edges would help prevent ankle twist.

I have wide feet with a high arch, and most shoes don't fit - too narrow at the front of the foot, and not enough space for a high arch. These indoor soccer shoes have a wide toe box, but just as important, they are leather, so you can get your socks wet, walk around for a day, and the leather will form fit to your foot - you can't do that with synthetic boots. The first time I played in them (after wetting them to form fit) I played for two hours with no issues - no blisters, sore spots, no nothing.Really happy with these boots!

I was excited to get these turf shoes in because they were advertised as a wide fit. I also waited almost 5 months to receive them because they were on backorder! But I would not classify these as a truly wide shoe. The leather area will stretch a bit with some use but the sole is actually still narrow. It feels like the ball of my foot is on the edge of the shoe. I would say these are just "okay" but I don't like when shoes claim they are a wide fit and they actually are not. I have a high arch but my foot is not extremely wide. I also sized up to a 10 from a 9.5. On the positive side the material is decent and they have a nice touch on the ball.
I have bought the Adidas Mundial Team turf shoes for several years now because they were the only ones that stood up to the beating I put on my turf shoes. However, their width designation is D which means medium as anyone that has wide feet knows and that means my foot is not fully supported by the sole. I usually wear a 4E which is extra wide so D is a far cry from 4E as there is E, 2E, 3E, then 4E in width categories. These particular shoes are a 2E designation. I figured I would try them even if they were not kangaroo leather. Kangaroo leather is the best in cleats for softness and stretching to feet width. I have played two games in these shoes so far and I have found a viable replacement for the Adidas shoes I have always worn. There are only two things that ... MoreI have bought the Adidas Mundial Team turf shoes for several years now because they were the only ones that stood up to the beating I put on my turf shoes.

Kangaroo leather and 4E width. If NB did these two things I would never look back.
I listened to the reviewers and ordered a size up, the shoes were huge. I'm not sure what kinds of shoes these people are used to wearing but you probably don't need to order a whole size up. That being said, I have no idea how these shoes are because New Balance doesn't accept exchanges (even though their website says they do) and they have probably the 2nd worst customer service I've ever dealt with (thanks for nothing Crissy). I've spent about a month now exchanging emails with this absolutely unhelpful human being and still don't have the soccer shoes I was so excited about getting. Will definitely opt for another company's products next time.
The things are amazing. I buy a lot of soccer boots. Cleats, flats, turfs. Predator Freaks, Edge, the new accuracy. The 442s are the best by far. Extremely comfortable and fantastic touch. Got the FG cleat as well. My son loves his too. We both play 3-5 times each per week. No problem with the 442 line.
Ordered 12 Wide (2E), but the shoes are too short and narrow. The length is not true to size and the Wide 2E order is super narrow. Strangely, the rubber sole is very narrow, it appears that a slightly wider upper was stitched onto a standard or narrow rubber sole. Weird that the instep on the shoe is significantly wider than the sole. Not a good design overall. For perspective, I ordered a the 696v4 tennis shoes in the same size and width at the same time. The tennis shoes are true to size and width, massively wider than the 442v2 soccer shoes. The tennis shoes in the same 12 2E size appear to be an inch longer and perhaps 1/2" wider.
I am a 58 year old Senior Field Umpire with over 30 years experience. I generally wear Salomon SpeedCross shoes when I umpire, as they are waterproof and provide excellent grip in the deep thick black mud from wet turf cricket pitches in the centre of grounds during winter. As I cannot find these shoes in white, I decided to purchase these boots in order to adhere to the ‘mainly white’ guidelines of our on field footwear. I have worn these boots around the house for many days and the feel very light and comfortable. The best compliment I have been given about these boots came from my 18 year old son, who after seeing them on my feet, and then trying them on (my feet are a size larger and wider than his), he said ‘I’d wear them if they fitted me.’ To hear that from ... MoreI am a 58 year old Senior Field Umpire with over 30 years experience.

These are a full inch at least narrower than my ancient puma kings of the same size, which are/were not advertised as wide. The last, the upper, the whole shoe is designed for a typical narrow foot. To market it as wide is disingenuous, to be kind. Sadly this is still the best option, puma kings along with every other soccer shoe on the market has gone super narrow, and these are typical "wide" boots - maybe 1E if we're being generous. So if you have truly wide feet, you may size up 1-2 sizes and good luck not kicking the turf with your 3" of overhang, per usual. Nothing to see here.
