Men’s UA Ignite Mid RM CC Baseball Cleats

This baseball cleat rises a step above the rest with its custom laces that can be specifically tailored to match your team’s uniform. These laces will come in 5 main colors which include: pink, black, red, orange and Royal.

Traction is guaranteed with the rubber molded cleats which are also light weight meaning that the cleats feel easy on the feet. Creating a perfect mix of durability and comfort, there is an engineered leather and Nubuck that is perforated to allow for breathability to the feet.

The medial toe is well protected with the abrasion resistant toe piece. To spread the shockwaves along the entire cleat, there is a full-length midsole cushion that keep the heel always comfortable.

The men’s UA Ignite Mid RM CC Baseball Cleats are clearly not short of design that is top notch to ensure a tight, comfortable and snug fit. To add to that there is a rotational traction design to optimize turning power.

Types of baseball shoes

This is one factor that should be at the fore front of your decision. When buying a pair of baseball shoes, you should be aware of the three types of cleats. These are the metal cleats, turf shoes and molded plastic cleats.

Metal cleats have the advantage of providing the best traction. Whether it is on hard dirt or grassy fields, they allow for maximum acceleration and turning power. For the batter, he can dig into the ground for extra support preventing him from slipping or sliding when making a swing. The down side is that they are known to cause injuries during sharp turns due to their high gripping capabilities and they do wear down when used on surfaces that are not grass or dirt.

Turf shoes, on the other hand, are best for training. They provide maximum grip while taking away the possibility of injuries. When practicing on artificial surfaces they will keep you from falling so you need not worry about slipping and. They are also light weight.

Molded plastic cleats are not as expensive as metal cleats. Made of rubber that is fixed permanently to the sole of the shoe, they offer great traction on grassy or dirt fields. They are also quite effective on other types of fields and do not wear down quite as much as the metal cleats. They are a preferred choice for most players due to the fact that they do not grip the ground as much as the metal cleats. Their slide ability means that they cause less injury during sharp turns.
