Looking for a cleat recommendation for my DD. She has been wearing Boombah cleats the last couple years. She has been having ankle issues and was diagnosed with a congenital condition in her ankles that requires her to use ankle braces. Does anyone have experience with a wider cleat that would be more comfortable with the brace? She is 9U and wears size 6 womens.

DD has similar issues and her favorite are Mizunos but she also really likes ringors. I really like the ringors for me as well. Can go all day with them and not be too sore at the end of the day.

Consider New Balance Baseball cleats. Boys cleats tend to be wider and New Balance offers wider sized cleats if you really need some width.

Also consider turf shoes rather than cleats. We have had some girls with ankle issues who went down this path to reduce foot/ankle strain from cleats.

Ringor used to make a high-top cleat that may help. Their Dynasty model is heavy duty and may offer more support than most.

Thanks for the help. I think we are going to try the Ringors. I checked out the New Balance's too. Had a hard time finding wider sizes to fit her.
