UA Spine High Cleats

Anyone have comments on the UA Spine cleats that have the soft part that goes above the ankle.

In particular, do you see any problems with mobility for a pitcher?

Thanks

Can't speak specifically to these cleats, but I can tell you that SP_son (LHP/1B) has worn mid-height cleats for years (since 12U/13U days). He has never mentioned any mobility concerns with them, and has had more than one hard comebacker catch him on the extra padding at the ankle. Rather than a bone bruise (or worse) he's just had a little more motivation to pick the kid at 1st.

I'm a believer in the extra ankle support and protection if the player can overcome the fashion statement aspect of playing in higher cleats.

For what it's worth ...

Thanks for the feedback. My son has done the same and he had the same thoughts.
