New Balance soccer cleats have carved out a place in the modern game by keeping things simple where it matters and smart where it counts. Three silos, three clear profiles. Furon for straight line speed, Tekela for control and creativity, 442 for classic leather touch. The brand use player testing across men’s and women’s football to fine tune fit, lockdown and stud behaviour, which is why their boots feel more natural now than ever before.
Furon is the fast one. Lightweight, streamlined and built for players who attack space. The Hypoknit upper wraps cleanly without pressure, and the responsive soleplate gives a quick, springy feel when you accelerate. Wingers, forwards and anyone who plays off instinct tend to gravitate toward the Furon. It is a boot that lets you focus on your run, not your footing.
Tekela is the control boot. More stability through the midfoot, more structure for clean passing and a fit designed to support players who twist and turn under pressure. Tekela’s knit upper gives a sock like feel without losing shape, and the stud pattern helps with quick pivots without grabbing too hard. Playmakers, deeper midfielders and creative players find Tekela easy to settle into.
442 is New Balance at its most traditional. Leather touch, classic shape, grounded stability. It is the boot for players who want simplicity that still performs at a high level. The leather softens quickly, the fit stays consistent and the whole boot feels built for comfort and clean technique. Defenders, holding midfielders and anyone who likes the old school feel without old school weight fit right into the 442.
Across all three silos, New Balance offer FG for natural grass and a growing range of TF and indoor options for small sided sessions. Their AG friendly FG plates hold up well on longer 3G carpet, which is why many players use New Balance as a hybrid option for mixed surfaces.
