We were at Dick's Sporting Goods today and went over to look at cleats. They had them labeled as Women's Baseball. It left me feeling slightly annoyed. It's called fastpitch, morons!

That is annoying. And why are all fastpitch cleats so low cut?? DD always worn boys cleats because she likes mid cut cleats better. Now that she's in women's sizes and moving to metal, I haven't see one mid cut metal cleat for women.

I think the Nike cleats are cut a little higher than they have been in the past- my daughter has had them the last 2 years, they were the same then, looks like they are cut higher than the previous style. She liked the UA ones better this year. I didn't buy them at Dicks. Since we have plenty of time I will look for a cheaper pair online, plus I'm mad at them��

What a bunch of maroons!

Why can't they just put the identical product in a box that says 'fastpitch' and charge an extra $39 for them? :rolleyes:

The whole girls athletic shoe thing chaps my A$$. When I started looking for higher end girls basketball shoes I'd walk into a Foot Locker or something and ask for the girls basketball shoes. They'd usually point to one shoe and say there it is. I'd look at a whole wall of boys BB sneakers and ask, do you see anything wrong with this? Clueless stares was the usual response, even from females.

DD has just opted for boys cleats since the stores often don't have much selection in brand or sizes for girls.

Dicks is one of those stores (along with Best Buy) that I can't figure out how they stay in business.

I've always kinda felt like people that shop at Dick's just like to spend more money and let people know that they did. Of course I am cheap and always scour the internet for days before I find where I am going to make any of my purchases. I'm not really that in to General Sports Stores. I always find the camping guy standing in the golf area trying to talk me into a putter or some other confused, misplaced salesman, like the shoe guy telling me about he bicycle that they carry. Just go to the golf store for golf stuff and the bicycle store for bicycle stuff.

I have always bought my daughter football cleats...Plastic cleats

Mid ankle...I thought they were better made. She wore those kind all through high school, travel ball and college

I have been complaining about the same issue! My daughters like a mid cleat, especially the oldest because she has ankle issues. We have to buy her men's cleats. My youngest also likes the mid. The most recent pair we bought were actually football cleats - we didn't realize it at the time. My other issue is WHY do all girls cleats have pink? My youngest is a girly girl, but HATES pink!
