How to select the right baseball cleats

When buying your baseball cleats, it generally a good idea to know what characteristics you are looking for that makes the shoes the best for you. Things such as comfort, type of cleats and whether they are high cut, mid cut or low cut are some of the criteria used. Let us look at these in detail to help you make the right choice.

Comfort

The question of how good baseball cleats feel is of paramount importance especially considering that the players are required to be on their feet for extended periods of time. During the game, players will wear more than a single pair of socks, sometimes up to three to provide extra cushioning. Baseball cleats need to fit snuggly without space left to wiggle your feet. When going to buy a pair, ensure you carry the socks that you normally wear at your games and find the best fit.

Molded or metal cleats

When it comes to the positioning of the cleats on the soles of the shoes, molded plastic cleats, and metal cleats both follow a similar pattern. Metal cleats dig deeper into the ground than the molded ones and therefore provide more traction. Some players, however, are perfectly fine with the grip provided by molded cleats claiming that they are not hard on their feet as the metal cleats. Furthermore, the molded spikes can bend with the pressure explaining why they are softer on your feet. So pick the ones you prefer.

Ankle support

Baseball cleats come in three main configurations, high cut, mid cut and low cut. High cut shoes provide excellent ankle support while low cut cleats leave the ankle free. Some athletes prefer the extra ankle cushioning while others prefer not to have any ankle support at all. It boils down to what you are most comfortable in.
