One of the biggest sportswear brands in the world, New Balance’s stable of boots caters to every type of player on the rugby pitch, from powerful front liners to speedy backs and clinical kickers.
Despite drawing its name from rugby’s sister sport, the 442 range features a classic, throwback aesthetic that appeals to players who prefer an old-school look. The comfortable internal pod cushioning and durable build are perfect for smash-mouth athletes who like to get stuck in.
The Tekela provides superb traction to prevent slippage, crucial for forwards looking to hold their ground and dominate scrums, while the soft upper reduces the space between foot and ball to improve the accuracy of your kicking game.
Designed to take your speed to another level, the Furon is built with an ultra-light knit upper and an aggressive stud pattern to aid quick direction changes, ideal for tricky backs who terrify opponents with their pace and agility.
New Balance 442 V2 Elite FG
Lead by example on the pitch wearing New Balance 442 V2 Elite FG football boots in Hi-Lite Yellow/Energy Red, the pinnacle edition of the V2 with a modern, streamlined design.
Quality players know quality boots, and that’s exactly what the 442 is. Crafted using soft synthetic materials, it’s built for comfort and touch.
There’s no messing about here. The boot’s flawlessly simple design allows you to control the ball with ease and play the kind of football you like to play, whether that’s dictating the play from deep or lashing in 30-yarders.
The Elite edition sees the 442 transition further into today’s game, refining the fit and wearing experience with a single-piece Hypoknit collar and debossed quilting on the upper. Underneath, the lightweight soleplate’s shaped for maximum responsiveness. Timeless class mixed with modern performance – that’s a winning combination for any footballer.

Ground Type Guide
Selecting the correct sole plate for the surface you are playing on is crucial, not only for the performance and longevity of your football boots, but also to avoid the risk of injury.
Using an outsole that isn't designed specifically for the surface on which you are playing may cause premature wear and/or damage that will not be deemed as a fault of manufacture and will prevent the retailer accepting them for a refund or exchange.
Firm Ground
Boots with Firm Ground soleplates are only to be used on natural short-grass surfaces that is firm underfoot but may be slightly wet.
Designed specifically for this playing surface, they offer acceleration, comfort and enhanced traction, dispersing stud pressure evenly across the foot.
FG soleplates are fixed (not removable) and are used worldwide; wetter countries tend to use them spring to autumn.
FG boots are not to be used on artificial ground (AG) surfaces as the construction is not designed for the extra friction.
FG boots used on AG surfaces will invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty.
