Best Men’s Baseball Cleats 2009

Flat Feet, Nike Air, Overstock.com, Under Armour

As an avid baseball player with flat feet, picking the right baseball cleats is a hard choice. Baseball cleats can come in various stud lengths and fits; this article will take a look at 3 of the best baseball cleats on the market, why they made this list, where to get them, and their price. Choosing the right cleat can help improve your game performance and the comfort of your feet.

1.Under Armour Clutch Mid ST Baseball Cleats

These men’s baseball cleats are an all around great cleat for an affordable price. These cleats feature medium length metal spikes that increase performance for the player allowing for increased speed and stability. This product is made from leather and also has air comfort mesh pockets on the side for increased comfort for the player. These cleats allow the feet to stay cool and also feature a rapid moisture transfer component to reduce sweat inside the shoe. These cleats also are designed for increased comfort with cushioning, which is a great addition since cleats can often hurt the feet easily. This pair from Under Armour can be found at www.gobros.com for $39.99.

2. Nike Air Huarache 2K5 Metal

These men’s baseball cleats are designed with comfort and stability in mind. The leather of these cleats are built up to just above the ankle for increased stability, the cleats also have increased padding to keep the foot feeling comfortable during game play. The metal cleat spikes are perfectly separated for increased traction on dirt that allows the player to pick up speed easier and give better traction. The ankle strap allows for a better fit; the only problem with this pair that I found was the breathability; however it was not a huge problem. These Nike baseball cleats can be found at www.eastbay.com for around $39.99.

3. Adidas Diamond King DS Men’s Baseball Cleats

These men’s baseball cleats are the perfect balance between weight and traction. The metal cleat spikes provide good traction in hard surfaces, yet the design of these athletic shoes give superior speed. The cleats have multiple air membranes to keep the foot cool during hot temperature game play. The only problem I found with this pair of cleats was that they featured a more narrow fit than the other pairs I have tried. Someone with flat feet may not want this narrow pair, but for normal feet they are a great pair of cleats. This pair of Adidas baseball cleats can be found at www.overstock.com for around $63.99.
