DD got a pair of Ringor's with her team uniform. All players got them. Pitchers got with toe's. They are the Diamond Gem's, so the lightest pair that Ringor sells. These are the molded plastics, as she is only 12.
What has me concerned is the weight of the shoes. The website does not post any stats on the weight of their cleats. I called, and the rep stated the weight to me. My postage scale tonight will be getting a test.
The Ringor cleat is clearly a well manufactured and high quality cleat. I love the design of the traction surface, as well as the cleat itself. However, the cuff is rubbing on her ankles, causing the to be sore, and another girl or two on the team has made similar comments, so much so that I can see my daughter not even wanting to put them on. Follow that up with they LOOK like big shoe boxes on her feet, and it appears she is laboring with each step to pick up her feet (she is tiny, so I think the weight factors in even more), but I see that same heavy footwork with other girls on the field also.
Anyone else notice this with Ringors, or have a weight chart for the cleats?
