Here is what a pair of Ringors looks like after almost a year of constant use. The metal was getting worn to the point of no traction. These lasted way longer than most. DD pitches, but not for HS and is #3 or 4 on her club team, so the pitching toe comes in handy, but isnt super abused.

As one might expect, the Flite wear out a helluva lot faster than the Dynasty (all leather).


What's the wear from on that second photo? That from pitching?

I suspect the cleats were wore on lots of concrete. They are wore down big time. Dirt doesn't break down metal spikes. Concrete does

Cool picture! Hopefully the new ones will look the same way as the old ones this time next year!

Wow! Your dd is hard on cleats. My dd has played 2 travel seasons in a pair of new balance that I only replaced this year due to the smell. Only worn on concrete for bathroom trips or btb games no long walks to or from the parking lot. She takes them off if we have multiple game breaks. Better for their feet to get out of them. Played in them in 13s, 14s, and fall of 15s before I couldn’t stand the stench

Yeah, she had Dynasty's before but likes the lacing of the Flites better apparently. The wear in the 2nd photo is from sliding. She must turn that foot over enough to contact the outside of the toe to the ground.

It drives me nuts when we arrive at the park and she swaps crocs for cleats before walking in. Why not change after walking in?

The dirt here has lots of sand. It certainly tears through pants and skin efficiently. I suspect most of the wear came from the fields, but certainly some from concrete.
