DD loved the cleats and they held up to her leap and drag pitching style but being she is 5'2 and 100lbs they noticeable slowed down her running and pitching speed (wasnt able to leap as far). Once she started true movement pitches we had to make a switch to a much lighter shoe. I buy cleats 3 times a year but at $30 a pop vs. $100 a pop. It works out in the end.
