Baseball Cleats - Page 98

There are several different types of baseball cleats, each suited to different playing surfaces. 

Metal Cleats: Metal Cleats provide the most traction and are made for digging into hard dirt infields and grass. Beware that the metal spikes will wear down if they are worn on surfaces other than grass or dirt.

Molded Cleats: Most molded plastic or rubber cleats are affixed to the sole of the shoe, providing a stable and strong footing. They can be worn on most surfaces, including concrete and asphalt, without wearing down. Molded cleats are typically less expensive than metal cleats and will last much longer. However, they do not provide the same level of grip as metal cleats.

Turfs Cleats: Turfs, sometimes called trainer shoes, are usually worn during practice or training. These shoes do not have any spikes but provide better grip on harder surfaces like artificial turf.

Detachable Cleats: With detachable cleats, you have the option to screw in either metal or molded spikes. This allows the player to adjust their cleats depending on the playing surface.

Buying used gear is a sustainable way to score high-quality items at a fraction of the cost. Not only can you find great deals, but you might also stumble upon rare or discontinued gear that’s no longer available in stores. When buying used baseball cleats, here's what to look for:

✔️ Check if the studs are worn down.
✔️ Look for cracks, tears, or significant damage on the sole. 
✔️ Examine the upper material for any tears, scuffs, or significant wear. 
✔️ Leather is durable but can wear out, while synthetic materials may not last.
✔️ Look for any signs of uneven wear that might indicate discomfort. 
✔️ Make sure the insoles are still in good condition. 
✔️ Ensure straps, buckles, or velcro aren’t worn out.
✔️ Look for any loose or frayed stitching.
✔️ Check for glue spots in the cleats, like along the sole or seams.
