Shoes/Pitching shoes question!

[cschoeni]

So my daughter is 9 and pitching 10u. I we have been buying New Balance cleats for her but she eventually wears a hole in the toe after a few months. I have been looking into the Ringor pitching shoes and am intrigued with them. I wanted to see if the investment is worth the price. Compared to buying 2-3 pairs of cheaper shoes during the year. DD also plays 1st and 3rd, but will be eating a lot of innings up this year on the mound. Just wanted to see what more experienced people thought.
Thanks

Shoes are probly the most money we have spent on SB, DD seemed to outgrow them every 6 months or so. Sometimes during a season. Your DD Is that age too.

Are Ringors worth it, I would say yes. They will still be good before she outgrows them. Get them 1/2 a half a size large, have not figured that out yet but trust me.

In past years they have had some good sales around now.

Ringor here. We end up giving them away as she grows out of them. My DD pitches 5 days per week and the shoes truly hold up. It's pretty amazing.

Totally worth it.

... and you and your DD will start noticing Ringors all over the place once your know the logo and the shoe design.

If you like New Balances, you could add a coating like the following. I have seen this stuff used with pretty good success. Otherwise, yes, Ringors seem to be the standard.

Amazon product ASIN B07FP2KM53.

Tuff Toe works fine and I recommend it for my students unless they want to invest in Ringors.

Do the Ringor's really run a half size small?

Unless something has changed in the last few years the anwser is yes. Last I looked they even said it on thier website.

My dd (11) made it through a little over 70 innings this summer in her cheap AU cleats. Not a mark on them. Same thing last year, but not quite as many innings. She been complaining they are too small so it is time for new cleats. She has had an outdoor lesson just about every week from March through July when games started getting busy.
She is short but does drag her foot. Maybe I am just lucky.
