What’s the difference between metal cleats and molded cleats?

Metal cleats provide superior traction and are preferred by advanced players on grass and dirt fields. Molded cleats are made from hard rubber or plastic and are ideal for youth players and leagues that restrict metal spikes.

When should I wear turf shoes instead of cleats?

Turf shoes are best for training, batting practice, and playing on artificial turf or indoor fields. They provide excellent grip without damaging the surface and are more comfortable for extended wear.

Can I use the same shoes for baseball and softball?

Yes! Most cleats and turf shoes are designed for use in both baseball and softball, as long as they meet your league’s certification and material guidelines.

How should baseball and softball cleats fit?

Cleats should fit snugly without being too tight, allowing enough room for your toes to move slightly. A secure fit helps prevent blisters and provides better stability on the field.
