Ringors are expensive (@$100/pair with the pitching toe), so I would probably not spend the extra money (2-3X some brands) for them if my DD was not a pitcher. I also did not buy her first pair of Ringors until her foot stopped growing. Getting black cleats seems like the safest bet to me. My DD can wear them for TB and HS, and if she changes teams, she is still good to go. I am a cheap SOB, so putting a new pair of Ringors in the 'Goodwill' box because my DD's team was no longer royal blue, would bring a tear to my eye!
