Hey TH- I’m going to share my experience and I don’t give a rat’s rear what you think.
Your the most uncouth SOB on this site so do yourself a favor and STFU where I’m concerned.

Is this real beef yall?

Just tired of the same cast of characters always sniping when you have a different opinion.
You say your peace, agree/disagree and then move on. No need to troll.

I have some NB shoes. I love my sneakers from them. They hold up well and are very comfortable. And I'm pretty hard on shoes. I usually wear them when I don't want to wear my Doc Martens. I also used to wear UA turf shoes for playing field hockey in before I discovered that I liked Grays shoes better for playing field hockey in. As far as the Ringors, they're just my prefered brand of cleats for playing softball in. Unfortunately, I have never seen New Balance softball cleats in all my travels. I can see where the Ringors could be seen as heavier and I think they are a little heavier than most other cleats. But the few extra ounces don't really bother me since with catching, I really work my legs with all of the up and down we do.



Thank you for this. I just don't let it bother me, lol.

Ringor claims to be making new lighter cleats like the “Flight” I believe they are called. I just feel they are a little pricey and more exclusive than other brands. I can find sales on many sites for other brands but Ringor has their site & maybe what Amazon?
If you like them and they work for you cool. Just saying IMO there are less expensive better options. Like I said they are a good looking shoe except the ones with pitching toes.

I used to tease my DD since she is a lefty that wearing a heavier Ringor on her left foot and wearing a lighter cleat on her right would help her round the bases in the correct direction.....One of many eye-rolling moments I created for her.

Man the dude has lost it. He insults a ladies’ shoes and then turns around and rips me a new one for calling him on it. He lacks social skills and what’s worse, doesn’t know it.

No problem and good for you for ignoring rudeness.

Why did you create a different username? Did your old one get banned?

I did look at the FLites and I do like them. Your right, they are a tad pricey. But...here's how I look at it. I bought some Mizuno cleats because most of my teammates wore them and I'm a team player. I ended up going through 3 pairs of them at $50-$60 a pair. $150-$180 later, I had three sets of heel blisters I had to heal and I had to get another pair before the season begins. I'm currently using my backup Ringors. I would rather spend $120 on a pair of Ringors and heal one set of blisters rather than have to have them every time I buy a new pair of cleats. I've never looked on Amazon for them but we have a store near me that carries them and I just go there.

In the grand scheme $100 - $120 as an investment for your feet isn’t huge. Especially if the player can get multiple seasons out of them. I understand budgets differ person to person. But everything starts with the feet. If they aren’t supported and comfortable then that hinders everything else over time. It’s amazing how much quicker feet fatigue in cleats/shoes/boots/skates/etc that don’t fit well.

For DD we’re lucky that she can fit into and likes cleats we can usually find a prior years model of in her size for cheaper. But, due to her arches, I have to invest in aftermarket insoles that cost me $50-$60. So I still end up in the $100 - $120 area every year.

Besides....people often spend $250+ on a bat and sometimes don’t expect it to make it more than a year or two.

It is when you can get a good pair on sale for $20-30 bucks. That’s a pitching/hitting lesson paid for my good man.
I agree though you don’t buy inferior shoes to pinch a penny. Comfort & Quality are key.
