Is this shoe good for turf fields?

Yes. The rubber outsole is made for artificial turf and hard infield surfaces, and it also works on gym floors.

Can my child wear these instead of cleats?

On turf and hard dirt, yes. On soft or wet natural grass, metal cleats still give better bite.

How does the 4040v7 fit?

Most buyers say it fits true to size. A few find it narrow, so wide-footed players may want to size up.

What is the upper made of?

A synthetic and mesh upper that is breathable and supportive, with a lace closure for an adjustable fit.

Is it only for baseball?

It is designed for baseball, but the turf outsole also suits softball and general turf-sport practice.

Our take on the New Balance Youth 4040v7 Turf Trainer Baseball Shoe

The New Balance 4040v7 is a youth baseball turf trainer built for play on artificial turf and hard infield surfaces. It pairs a synthetic and mesh upper with a rubber turf outsole, so it works for practice and games without needing metal cleats. It suits young players who split time between turf cages, turf fields and gym floors. Against metal-cleat models it trades bite on soft dirt for versatility and comfort on harder surfaces.
