Ringor "Bandits"

[JoeKC]

Has anyone had an opportunity to tryout the new Ringor Bandit line of softball spikes? The only beef I've ever heard about their Dynasty line of spikes was related to weight. It appears they are addressing that concern with with a synthetic upper, and possibly some additional refinements. If they have maintained that durability and comfort, while reducing weight....they'll have a winner with the Bandit.

My DD has worn Dynasty spikes for several years. They have been the only brand that seems to hold up for more than just a couple of months. DD will need a new pair sometime this season, so any feedback from would be great before making that purchase.

They look like rebranded Mizuno sweep. They don't come with pitching toes, which is the entire reason I've bought Ringor in the past.

My DD just got hers. They are MUCH lighter than the Dynasty. The synthetic leather is very shiny (which she likes) but I don't know how long it will stay that way. They do seem to fit about a half size larger than the Dynasty, so we'll be exchanging them for the next half size down.

I agree that the Dynasty is a heavy cleat. Not happy that they discontinued the Legacy with the pitching toe.

Sad that they're only available in metal cleats. My daughter can't wear those until 14U.

Thank you for the replies. I'm anxious to see if these new "lightweights" hold up as well as Dynasty versions. The shiny, bling will definitely help the interest within the target market, but if they don't last, the Bandits will be a short-lived....

This^^^^^^we buy Ringors with pitching toes because they last 3X longer than regular cleats. Without the pitching toe, we would just buy whatever was on sale.
