Like Jdaddy said, cleats are a very individual thing. Both dd’s used to wear Mizuno and they can be had cheap on Amazon if you keep your eyes open for deals. DD #2 switched to Ringor last year and they lasted a whole season and we just bought the same model again. We usually could not make it through a whole season with Mizuno’s. Not sure there is much cost difference once you figure in replacing more often.

My kid is currently using New Balance, and likes them a lot, but we replaced the stock insoles almost immediately. She also prefers mids rather than low-tops. They are slightly lighter than the Nike Force Trout 3 she was using before.

Personally, I love that my DD is now wearing metal cleats. She was wearing plastic cleats down to nubs every 3-4 months, far quicker than she was wearing out the tops.

Agree there...I wish I could wear metals but idiot wanna be major leaguers have ruined that for sp. I went to lacrosse mids because they wear down much much slower and
way lighter than rubber cleats. And turfs are useless to me.

But I absolutely agree on the insoles. I always took out the ones cleats came with and put softer ones in that absorb the impact better.

Curious about the insole replacement people are talking about. Is there a particular brand or is everyone using the Dr. Scholl's?
