Cleats with most cushion/bounce?

[NYC]

Topic? I really like the feel of the Jordan 13 cleats but the price is steady around $100. Wondering if you guys have some cheaper options. Currently using the 2k filth.

I’m about to try the Nike alpha huarache 2 elite, but they are turfs, saw them today and have some pointy spikes

I've seen a ton of guys using them in Spring training so far.

I just picked up some NB 4040 molded cleats for the dirt fields here. They feel like they have a good bit of cushioning. I know NB also has the fresh foam 3000s that may have an even better bit of cushioning.

I had a pair of NB cleats last year. The cushioning was on par with most running shoes, but the liner got shredded in the heel/achilles area.

Picked up a pair of Asics GEL-Provost lacrosse cleats over the winter for $20. Amazon has sizes 10-13 in white for $49.99 right now. They have a wide toebox and feel super comfortable and cushy.

Mizuno molded cleats or Mizuno turfs

Mizuno molded cleats or Mizuno turfs

How do the sizes run on those? I usually have to go 1.5 sizes up on Nike cleats.

I wear same size mizuno and Nike but the mizuno are just a tad more narrow.

I just buy Boombah clearance, a size bigger, then add a high quality insert.

I also go up 1.5 sizes but I also always wear double socks

I wore molded cleats for the longest time but I recently bought some Mizuno turfs and they're amazingly comfortable

What's the model? We play on mostly grass and dirt fields around here so I'm hesitant to try turfs.

I've got size 12 Mizuno Erupt 3 mid turfs, I'll have to see what model of molded cleats I've got when I get home.

Where did you find the erupt 3 in mids?

I have the erupt 3 lows and haven't had an issue playing infield or outfield in them... pretty decent turf imo and fit them fro Chad couple years back for a great price.

I believe the latest molded are 9 spike blast, pretty sure the store has them in stock

I bought those Erupt 3 mids from the SBF store back in July 2017.

There's plenty of turfs that have aggressive soles that grip grass and dirt just fine.

I've also been wearing the Mizuno 9 Spike Franchise 7 mid molded cleats

I grabbed a pair of UA Horizon RTT's. Been pretty happy with them.

They're almost TOO grippy on turf for indoor play. Outdoors, they're just right. Far more comfortable than most Nike or UA baseball shoes I've worn previously.

You could look at football cleats too. I've always found those more comfortable than baseball shoes.

I personally went to trail running shoes. They are super comfy and you can find ones with an agressive tread. I have had no issues running on grass or dirt even when it's wet out. A lot of guys I know buy salomon trail running shoes.
