I always had a hard time buying cleats for my son for baseball. (He needs a wide cleat.) a lot of them don’t come in wide or don’t fit like a wide if they say they will. But these turf shoes were PERFECT. They fit like a regular shoe. My son loves them. He says they aren’t tight. Says they are comfortable, light weight, and flexible. The cleats on the bottom are shorter than regular baseball cleats which he and I both love about them. They work just like regular cleats but they don’t anchor in or grab the field dirt to get in the way of sliding, which also really lowers the risk of ankle/leg injury. They work perfectly if playing outfield in the grass, or infield in the dirt. I will most definitely purchase these every season as his foot size grows. (I’ll probably never buy regular cleats again)
These shoes just looked too small..., but after opening the laces, my feet just slid in; good and snug like you'd want. I'm very happy with them. They don't hurt anywhere... Comfy!Thank you Mizuno !! First pair wore out after several years. The traction nubs on the sole were wearing out, but very comfy till the switch.
Turfs are comfortable and very lightweight however I am a little concerned about he durability as I already have ripped one of my turfs after only a few months of regular use.
Quality turf shoe and lightweight. Great tread pattern and provides good grip in dirt and even wet grass.
Past reviews mentioned wide feet and how the wearer didn't experience any pain. So, thought I purchase it and see for myself. The shoe fit comfortably; and I didn't feel any pain in my large toes and the shoe did not squeeze my feet.
Perfect for senior softball.
The shoe is basically a good,shoe, but i wear them for a longer period. The reason for the 4 star is because of the insole. I know I could go and buy some, but I would buy the shoe again and buy some insoles with them. Also the price was right
My husband plays softball and after 10 years he finally needed a new pair of cleats. He loves them! Would definitely buy again.
