Hydrate or die.  The CamelBak BPA-Free Better Bottle will help you keep hydrated during those long summer Ultimate games.  I like a 50/50 mixture of orange gatorade and water.  Whatever your favorite hydrating drink, keep plenty on hand.

While you're at it, buy several of these bottles for your friends and save on shipping.

 

 

More about Ultimate Frisbee Cleats

Spiked cleats and metal cleats such as used for golf, track and field, and baseball are not allowed in Ultimate.  Check with the professionals at your local shoe store and your doctor before purchasing a pair of athletic cleats.  Also, check with your Ultimate league director.  These professionals will help you wear the right shoes.

Apart from the soles and the nubs themselves, there are a few other items to look for.

1)  Attachment of the sole to the upper:  Ultimate players change direction vigorously.  A solid attachment of the sole and the upper is essential.

2)  Insole:  Plantar fasciitis is a common complaint.  A great insole is essential.  I actually like a firm insole as opposed to gel inserts. Never let your insoles deteriorate.

3)  Laces:  On molded cleats, I like to wrap my laces around across my foot and around the bottom of my cleats.  Therefore, long sturdy laces are essential.

4)  Tongue:  A thick tongue will help protect the bridge of your foot and keep the laces from binding up your socks.

One word on quality.  Spending $90 on a pair of cleats is hard to do sometimes but normally higher price means better quality in a sport shoe.  I am a strong believer in buying quality shoes regardless of price. 

Take care of  your feet, ankles, and knees.  Get professional advice from your Dr., your Ultimate coach, and your local shoe professional.
