More about Ultimate Frisbee CleatsSpiked 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.
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.
