For playing on turf, do your daughters prefer molded cleats or turf shoes? I find turfs can slip more than molded if the turf gets wet.
What say you, DFP?

Dufus Dog likes turf shoes, which is fine I guess since they rarely play on turf and the turf shoes can be used indoors, but I have the same opinion you do regarding slipping..She will complain if she has a grain of sand in her shoe but slipping on the field doesn’t bother…I give up.For playing on turf, do your daughters prefer molded cleats or turf shoes?

My daughter has gargantuan feet, so Nike don't work for her. We usually go with New Balance women's in an 11-11.5 wide or a Baseball one in 9.5.Not all turfs are created equal. My DD pitches and likes turfs when playing on artificial surfaces. However she really only likes the Nike turfs that have the spikes on the bottom and give more grip. Some turfs have small shallow nubs that offer little grip.

She told me old style Astroturf indoors is no problem for her turf shoes. The problem is the newer rubber pellet filled turf you see on most fields. I guess I'll just get a pair of molded cleats and slap some Tuff Toe on them.
Thanks for the input.
