My DD wears Mizunos for school ball and Adidas for travel. The Adidas out last the Mizunos by a long shot. She does think both are very comfortable.

My DD also switched from Ringors to the New Balance. And for the same reasons...way lighter and more comfortable. You can actually feel a big difference in weight just by picking them up by hand.

When your kid’s home to 1B time is measured with a calendar, does it really matter if the shoes are 5.9 oz heavier per foot? Lefty slappers might want that lighter foot, but a catcher might want a pair of cleats that lasts more than 6 months.

DD’s old ones are still in pretty good shape for their age. Thinking about ordering some Ringor oder resistant insoles as that’s really all that’s worn out. She can wear them for practice.

Totally agree. Old ones are in really good shape, only had to replace the insoles so far on a 2.5 year-old pair of Ringors. Her hitting coach, a former MLB player, said to fill panty hose with kitty litter and stuff it down in them to kill the odor. Haven’t tried it yet, but I think it’s worth a shot.

They will last, question is will your DD's feet stop growing?

Last I heard they size a little small so order a 1/2 size larger. You can exchange them if they do not fit.

I read somewhere else on here that it can be more than that. Wish local stores had more of a selection and not have to deal with the online returns

For those that say to give NB a chance. How long have you had them and are they holding up well? DD prefers mids which makes this all the much harder. Im trying to convince her to to give regular spikes a go so she has more of a selection but you know how that goes with any 13yo
