Are metal cleats better than the regular rubber?

Question

I'm going into a league where metal's are allowed, and I'm wondering if I should buy them. So do the metals catch in the grass more? Just wondering your thoughts.

Answer 1

If your feet have stopped growing, I'd go with metal and invest in a good pair you can wear a long time. I like metal cleats better, they don't wear down quickly, they have better grip and are easier to clean out during a game.

If you are still changing shoe sizes every few months, go with rubber, since they are usually cheaper, and you'll be replacing them anyway.

Answer 2

It depends on the surface. i like to ware metal cause they have more grip on the grass. If u get rubber, they ware down so , take in consideration in the cost of replacing them. U could go with the interchangeable cleats that have both metal and rubber plugs. that would be best

Answer 3

Yes metal cleats are better than rubber cleats. They dig into the ground and you can really "push" off the ground to throw hard and run fast.

Answer 4

I used to have both when it is damp or raining the metal is better,but for a fast track I used to like the rubber ones

Answer 5

it all depends on the surface. both metal and rubber wear down with time. rubber are a little more comfortable, but are bad to play in weat conditions or really dry also. i would check what most players wear and use something similar. as well, go with comfort.

Answer 6

metal doesnt wear out as fast and it gives better traction

Answer 7

use rubber i use them they are pretty cool and cost less.

Answer 8

no, they dig in too much and hold all the dirt
