We've compiled a list of this years best cleats. Every year companies like New Balance and Nike release their newest cleats and every year we rank them. To us the best cleats need to have great traction, comfort and quality. Below is the list of this years 5 best cleats. Tested and Tried by Universallacrosse.com
The Nike Alpha Huarache 6 Elite TBL cleats sit on top of our list because of their unrivaled performance and comfort on the field. Flywire, a full bootie construction and a 5/8 in. collar height brings a little bit of everything all together. Not only is the performance there but their unique and eye catching design is a nice added touch.
Coming in at #2 are the New Balance Burn X Mid cleats. Designed with the help of MLL star Paul Rabil, the Burn X's deliver incredible lightweight and comfortable experience. The Burn X's also use a speed plate on the bottom of the cleat to provide a spring like reaction while running on the field.
The third spot goes to the Nike Huarache 6 Elite TBL Turf Cleat. These turf cleats provide optimal traction across every synthetic field. These cleats also have the same boot construction and flywire technology that we loved on the Alpha Huarache 6 Elite TBL Cleats.
The New Balance Freeze LX 2.0 come in at #4. Having just been released we decided to add them to the pool and test them out. The second edition of the Freeze LX's blew us away. This cleat has incredible traction on all angles giving you the ability to cut and change direction instantly. These cleats also have great comfort and durability.
The Under Armour Highlights are a great cleat to sum up the year. With a high ankle design rolling your ankle is nearly impossible in these cleats. They are also extremely comfortable, molding to your foot using their 4D Foam technology.
