In this review the New Balance BurnX4 Lacrosse Shoe is evaluated for players who prioritize pure speed and traction. The cleat is best for attackers, midfielders and fast transition players who need a lightweight, locked-in fit to accelerate and change direction quickly. The single biggest reason to buy is the plate with x-frame coring that cuts weight while maintaining stiffness, allowing for stable top-end speed without the bulk of traditional cleats.
Key Features
- Aerodynamic synthetic upper: inspired by fighter jets, the upper sheds weight and increases air flow for a cooler, more streamlined fit.
- X-frame coring: the plate removes mass for about a 30% weight reduction while keeping the stiffness needed for powerful strides.
- Targeted flex zones: larger flex areas are positioned to promote natural foot movement and smoother transitions during play.
- Aggressive studs: longer toe studs and larger studs throughout deliver durable grip for explosive starts and quick cuts.
- TPU molded cleat outsole: a durable molded outsole provides traction across both turf and soft natural surfaces so the shoe works on varied fields.
Who It's For
The BurnX4 is aimed at lacrosse players who favor speed over cushioning - attackers, middies and wing players who rely on quick bursts, change of direction and acceleration will appreciate the lightweight plate and stud layout. Players who need a very cushioned ride or prefer a wide, roomy last should look elsewhere, since the design favors a locked-in, performance fit.
High school and club players who take part in mixed-surface play will find the TPU outsole versatile enough for turf and grass, while elite players who demand the lightest equipment for sprinting and cutting will benefit most from the shoe's construction.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Outstanding weight savings from the x-frame coring plate, enabling faster sprints and less fatigue.
- Excellent traction thanks to aggressive toe studs and larger stud pattern for explosive plays.
- Streamlined, aerodynamic upper that improves airflow and creates a locked-in fit for secure footing.
Cons
- Fit can run narrow for some users, with mixed reports on heel width and overall comfort.
