Batter up with Girls’ Softball Cleats

 

She’s got her uniform, her broken-in glove and that can-do attitude that’ll set her up for success on the softball field. Make sure that she can run the bases and field balls with ground-gripping softball cleats for girls on her feet.

 

From the shoes to the protective gear, Hibbett | City Gear can dress girls of all ages toe to head in softball apparel, including girls’ softball cleats. Look for a variety of colors and softball cleat styles from top brands like Nike and Under Armour.

 

Choose the Right Softball Cleats for Girls

 

Give her the footwear to run like the wind when milliseconds count. Wondering how to buy the right girls’ softball cleats?
• Check the construction. Are those girls’ softball cleats made out of leather, mesh or a combination of the two? Look for shoes that offer the right balance of support, flexibility and breathability.
• Know the league. Your girls’ softball cleat styles may depend on the league. Little League softball, fast-pitch or slow-pitch leagues may each have different cleat requirements, so check before you purchase footwear.
• Pair girls’ softball cleats with positions. A pitcher, for instance, needs more flexibility at the ankle, so a low cut softball cleat would best fit their position. Other players may prefer the better ankle support a mid cut or high top girls’ softball cleat can offer.
• Select the right cleat style. Most girls’ softball cleats feature molded studs built right into the shoe’s outsole. Girls in older leagues may prefer the traction of removable metal spikes for enhanced precision.
• Pick a color. Girls’ softball cleat colorways come down to personal player preference. Let her select an always-versatile white, gray or black softball cleat, or give her space to showcase her personality with a more colorful option.

 

How to Fit Girls’ Softball Cleats

 

Find an array of sizes and fits at Hibbett | City Gear, whether your preschooler is just getting started with girls’ softball or your grade schooler has been around a few seasons. To ensure you have the best size cleats, use the following rules of thumb:
• Think snug. You’ll want to leave no more than a quarter of an inch between the longest toe and the end of the shoe for a foot-hugging fit.
• Size down. Is your 4-year-old in between sizes? It’s tempting to size up to get the most bang for your buck. But since cleats naturally stretch a bit over time, go with the smaller size.
• Keep comfort top of mind. There’s nothing worse than an 8-year-old complaining of foot blisters. Before you buy, inspect the softball cleat for extras that’ll keep your kid comfortable through practices and long, hot games. Look for padding along the tongue and sockliner, check the comfort of the insole, and make sure your child feels good going through the motions.
