We got the Ringor turf with pitching toe at Thanksgiving and my daughter has worn them to her PC probably 7-8x. There is absolutely no wear on them at all from the drag. We were going through the cheap sneakers every 4-6 weeks so for these to have no wear, I am amazed. They are heavy IMO compared to her cheap sneakers but it is what it is. We have not tried these in the dirt to see how much they slide so I cannot comment on that. She wears the Ringor pitching toe cleat when on the field and honestly, this is the best investment I have made in a long time.
