Fastpitch Softball Cleats & Turf Shoes

About

Traction is the foundation of every sprint, pivot, and dive on the softball field. SPC Sports stocks women's fastpitch softball cleats and turf shoes from Under Armour, Mizuno, Easton, and other leading brands, covering metal cleats for natural grass and dirt infields, molded plastic cleats for turf and multipurpose fields, and low-profile turf trainers for warm-ups, practice, and indoor use. Getting the right footwear for the surface you play on keeps you faster and safer all season. Metal cleats dig into natural grass and clay better than any other option. They give the most traction for quick lateral movement in the infield and explosive first steps on the bases. Most high school and college leagues allow metal cleats. Youth leagues often prohibit them for safety reasons, so check the rules for your age group before purchasing. See our metal footwear section for available sizes and brands. Molded cleats use hard plastic or rubber studs and are legal in all youth leagues and on most turf fields. They are lighter than metal, do not require a break-in period, and can be used on turf without damaging the surface. They are the most versatile option if your team plays on both grass and turf throughout the season. Turf training shoes are low-profile shoes with a dimpled or herringbone rubber outsole built for traction on artificial turf, gymnasium floors, and practice surfaces. They are not designed for game use on natural grass but are excellent for warm-ups, batting cage work, and indoor training. See our turf and training shoe section for current options.

Cleats come in regular width by default. If you have a wide foot, check the produc
