DD college team had the Boombah metal cleats last season. An out of the ordinary number of players ended up with shin splints the trainer blamed the Boombah shoes for the problem. DD loves the Ringor, hated the
Boombah.
InsidePitch, ScottyDont and PEPPERS: Thanks for all the good info. Turns out we have a team account, so I called our rep with sizing concerns. Customer Service was very good. I explained DD wears a women's 8 in Nike running shoes, just jumped from 8 to 8.5 on her last Mizuno cleats (with Tuff Toe applied, so it may squeeze the toe a bit?), and Converse 8. She said she'd ship an 8.5 and a 9, try them both, and send back a pair with shipping paid by Ringor. Be here in 4 days. Hope DD doesn't need a 9.5 tho...
Thanks again.
