Overview
The Furon is New Balance’s speed boot, with a knit upper and an aggressive stud plate tuned for straight-line bursts. The fit is engineered for players who attack space behind the defense.
Testers found it light and stable on firm ground, with a strike zone that helps crisp shooting. It is a credible alternative to the big-two speed boots.
Pros
- Lightweight and fast
- Solid shooting surface
- Competitive price
Cons
- Narrower fit
- Less cushioned than leather rivals
A sharp-value speed option for ambitious forwards.
