What about the new limited edition 442 orbit key is that full k-leather?

@@christopherlindgreen1613 From the pictures it looks to be full k-leather upper on this one yes

How do you know the new beyond orbit pack is a full leather upper? Is it just from the photos, and how certain are you? Thanks

@@philippentchev7373 Im not 100% sure, but it you look at the pictures of the limited edition gold colourway that we know are full leather and the normal white and black colourways that are not, you see a big difference in how the leather forefoot and how the syntethic midfoot looks as leather has this distinc look to it. The new limited edition beyond orbit looks like the forefoot and midfoot are the same material and looks to be the same as the gold colourway. but again im not 100% sure.

Yeah, they fit true to size for me. I also feel safe using them on AG because of the short conical studs.

I noticed more stud pressure on the Adidas Copa Mundial by comparison. The 442 didn’t seem too bad, maybe because the soleplate is a more rigid material.

@@upper90football_ On high quality AG pitches with good depth, FG plates are generally fine. But I live in the southeast US, where even real grass pitches get rock hard in summer, and every damn AG pitch in the city is years overdue for renovation. 😑 But you're right that a too flexible soleplate is just as much of an issue for stud pressure as the studs themselves. That's why despite being a guy that grew up with Copas, I don't use them now. Their soleplate density wasn't intended for anything but real grass, and the materials are the same now as they were 40 years ago.

@@CognizantCheddar On those really crappy AG pitches, it's probably better to wear TF boots

I did notice that I was slipping in these boots last time I wore them (the pitch was also wet). That being said, they are really comfortable!

8.5 should be good for these, they aren’t much longer than the Premier 3s

I had a little bit of an issue with heel blisters on the 442s. They went away after a few uses though.

Get yourself some gain the edge gripsocks. I have not had any blisters in the 2 years since wearing them. 4 pairs for £22 is fantastic for how good they are!

Hello, I have been playing soccer for 4 months and I also bought the 442, they feel very comfortable compared to other cleats. I also have flat feet and even though these cleats feel more comfortable compared to others, I still feel pain in my knees, Achilles, and ankles, which really bothers me and limits my performance on the pitch. Do you have any tips or helpful exercises for flat-footed players?

Nice!

Those new colors look so sick

The 442s are a cut above in terms of quality. They’re lighter and have softer leather.

That’s a great deal, blue looks nice as well

which site?

Hello it was at the New Balance site itself. I looked just now and the $103 blues are sold out but for $130 it's still a very very good shoe in my opinion. @@Chosen-_-

Really comfortable, but the heel can be annoying for the first couple wears.

Yeah definitely, you can also get the wide variation if you have especially wide feet

yes
