Mens molded baseball cleats are gaining popularity among adults because of their versatility, durability, and because they’re safe.
Molded cleats are made of rubber or hard plastic, and can not be removed from the shoe.
They can be used on a variety of playing surfaces, and can even be worn off the field unlike metal cleats.
When I grew up playing baseball, molded cleats were the most common shoe, and from ages zero to 12 years old these were the only approved type. Metal one’s weren’t allowed because of safety issues.
Can you imagine giving a small child metal cleats? Once I entered the 13 year old league I was able to move up to metal baseball cleats, but back then molded cleats weren’t as well made as they are now.
These aren’t only great for baseball, you can also wear molded baseball cleats for softball as well.
Just make sure you get the right size and make sure they fit you comfortably and won’t cause any issues for your feet such as blisters or toe crowding.
If styles and colors are a factor for you,don’t worry because there are a variety of styles and colors to suit any taste.
You won’t find a better list of non metal baseball cleats around.
Nike Mens Molded Baseball Cleats
One Of The Top Names In Sports Gear
Nike mens baseball cleats have been around for a long time. I’ve personally worn my fair share of them growing up. My favorite pair was the dark blue one’s.

If my mom would have let me I would still have those today. I think she threw them away!
One thing I really like about them is that you can wear them on or off the field.
You can also get some that allow you to change out between plastic and metal, called interchangeable cleats, which can come in handy.
You can get these in a variety of colors such as red, blue, black and white of course.
There is really no limit to the colors available, and they change with each season.
You may be able to choose your favorite color, or may have to match your team, but either way Nike baseball will have what you need.
I used Nike cleats in high school and college, and they were very high quality. I actually still own the Nike cleats I wore in college, so that should tell you how durable they are.
Nike used to stand alone in quality, but in recent years some more companies have been able to be more competitive.
Even with more competition, Nike excels in cleats and other footwear designs.
