Finding the Right Baseball Cleats

When it comes to picking the best pair of kids' baseball cleats, keep these factors in mind when making your selection:

• The upper is the outermost component of their cleat and is typically made of a synthetic leather material. Perforated or mesh paneling along the upper provides much-needed breathability. A compression or padded tongue helps keep debris out of their shoe.
• The midsole should be lined with padding for shock absorption and comfort. An inner sock liner manages moisture and improves fit.
• Molded spiked outsoles provide traction for quick movement on the field. Rubber, plastic and TPU are all great materials that provide superior motion control and durability. Always consult league guidelines before purchasing a pair of spikes.

You should view product information for specifics on new youth baseball cleats. There you will find details on special technologies used in your cleats:

• Flexible grooves along the outsole of their cleats promote the natural mechanics of their gait cycle, helping them move around the field more comfortably and efficiently.
• Materials like Phylon or EVA in the sock liner, midsole or insole provide excellent comfort.
• An extended, padded ankle collar offers extra ankle support, but low-cut cleats are often lighter in weight.

How to Choose the Right Youth Softball or Kids' Baseball Cleats

Learn more about types of baseball and softball cleats below to find the right fit for your youth player:

Low vs. Mid/ High Cleats

Low-top baseball or softball cleats tend to be lighter-weight and offer more flexibility for extra speed and agility, but this cleat style does not provide much ankle support. Mid and high-top cleats provide stability and extra security with more ankle support, but increased overall weight and less flexibility.

Baseball & Softball Cleat League Requirements

Remember to check your local league's rules and cleat requirements. Many youth softball and baseball leagues prohibit the use of metal cleats for safety reasons.

Baseball & Softball Cleats Cleaning & Care

Make sure you get the most out of your cleats by following proper care instructions:

• Keep your cleats clean during games by regularly wiping out mud or dirt. Pro Tip: Keep a popsicle stick in the dug out for quick scraping and cleaning.
• Remove as much dirt as possible before leaving the field. After games or practice, remove loose dirt and debris then put your cleats in a bag to transport them home.
• Clean your cleats by clapping them together to get any dry mud off. Next, scrape off excess mud and dirt with a firm brush. Then, give your cleats a quick, powerful rinse. Use a wet rag to wipe around each spike. Lather soap into the rag and continue washing as needed. Rinse your cleats thoroughly and let them air dry at room temperature.
• Storing Cleats: Stuff your cleats with paper or use shoe trees to maintain their shape between use.
• Avoid leaving your cleats in the car. Extreme temperatures can cause damage.
• Consider buying two pairs of cleats and rotating between the two pairs for practice and game days.
