Overview
A firm grass pitch is where the New Balance cleat belongs, a full-grain leather boot with a light TPU plate and stud tips for traction. A comfortable lining improves first feel on the foot.
Club and school players get a classic leather feel with stitching designed for a soft fit and a light plate. It is built for firm ground only, so soft or muddy fields call for a different stud pattern.
Who it's for
Weekend leagues and school teams on firm grass suit the leather upper and stud layout. Indoor and turf players need flat or turf soles.
