Considerations When Buying Baseball Cleats

Baseball cleats continue to evolve as the years go by. While there is really no substitute for training and commitment on the part of the athlete, it is general knowledge that having the right type of gear can significantly improve your performance.  The right cleats keep an athlete on his toes and ready to make the best moves that will put his team on the winning streak. Let’s look at some of the few considerations that you need to keep in mind when going out to buy a pair of baseball Nike Jordan XII Baseball Shoes.

Construction materials

There are two main materials that are used in the construction of baseball cleats. These are leather and synthetic leather.  Synthetic leather is soft and may come perforated to allow for optimum breathability. It cannot stretch once you wear the shoe so there is really no need for break in. when it comes to cost, baseball shoes made from synthetic leather are less expensive compared to their leather counterparts.

Leather baseball cleats, while being more expensive have their advantages. It is more durable and tougher than synthetic leather meaning that the shoe will require break in. once they are past this stage, they will mold to the shape of your foot making them feel comfortable.

Type of spikes

There are two main types of spikes to be found on baseball cleats. Metal spikes or molded spikes. Each of them has their advantages over the other. Metal spikes provide great traction and are most popular with players. They dig in further into the ground compared to the molded spikes.  The latter however are lighter on your feet and are best on turf surfaces. Molded spikes are mainly made of dense rubber that is coated with plastic.

Some baseball cleats can be interchanged between metal and rubber cleats. This means that the player will not have to carry two different pairs of shoes to the game. With this in mind, you can select great shoes that will perform well on the pitch and will also save you on the space you would have otherwise used to carry another pair.
