What is the difference between hard molded
cleats and detachable stud cleats? |
|
Most modern football cleats come in one of
two outsole designs; hard molded or detachable stud. Note the
differences between the two, including who the intended users are and
how the prices differ.
Hard
molded bottom cleats - Hard plastic moldings grip the field for
incredible traction on firm ground or artificial grass, like astro-turf.
Used widely throughout youth leagues and high schools, molded outsole
cleats are typically less expensive that detachable stud outsoles, and
are preferred by younger players or more casual players.
Detachable stud cleats - Longer,
more powerful stud (or spikes) provide amazing grip and traction on a
variety of field conditions, and can be removed and changed, depending
on preference and changing conditions. These types of cleats are
typically used by pro, college, and high school players. They also tend
to be more expensive than molded cleats. |

What are the differences between the heights
of cleats, like low-cut, mid, high, 5/8 and 3/4? |
|
Football cleats come in a variety of
cut-styles, which describe the height of the upper and where it sits on
the ankle. Each style offers different benefits, and your choice should
depend on personal preference, position, style, and foot and ankle
health. Low - Frees the
ankle from restrictions, providing maximum mobility to make aggressive
cuts and reach high speeds, with low to no ankle support. Designed for
fast, agile players.
Mid - Moderate ankle stability
without seriously restricting movement or speed. Designed for most skill
players, such as running backs, quarterbacks, defensive backs, and wide
receivers.
High - Include everything from 3/4
cut to 5/8 cut. Secure ankle support and stability protects against
rolled or twisted ankles, while slightly restricting movement and speed.
Designed for players who make more lateral movements on the field, such
as defenders and linemen. |
