Football cleats vs. baseball cleats

Jdans · #1 Apr 10, 2008, 02:52 PM

Is there a differance between youth football and baseball cleats? My son plays both and has a pair of pretty new football cleats from last season and he will grow out of them by next fall. I hate to see a newer pair of cleats go to waste. Does it matter if he uses them for baseball? Please comment, thanx.

The only suggestion I have is for you to check the underarmour.com site. They sell bothand you may be able to comapare the photos and specs.
Football is all grass pretty much while baseball shoes have to work on dirt or grass.
I guess the worst case would be if a team were disqualified because of one of the player's shoes being out of spec (that happened at a game in my hometown). maybe you need to check with the coach.
