Turf cleats

[moto x]

I’ve seen a few people actually wearing turf cleats instead of wresting shoes. What is everyone having the best luck with? My foot holds are great they hold well with my wrestling shoes. the problem is that I have to kick in pretty hard and well last week I missed and broke my toe. I know I have to kick in regardless but I’m hoping I don’t need to kick so hard.

Ouch, are you running heel blockers?
What hull are you riding? i guess that the guys running the Xscream style foothold setup/Heelblocker dont have to kick in to hard, to stay in the hold.

I did that with my bob. Missed and kicked the back of the ski. Broke my big toe and the socket it sits In. I tried cleats recently but need to redo my turf before I keep using them. You can lightly kick in and you’re pretty much there with the cleats.

Im on a WDK Rip, Not really a good way to add heel locks.

They’re nikes. They were on clearance.

Do you have wedges on your rip? I have wedges and my holds aren't tight and I never come out even on double combo flip attempts, just using wrestling shoes.

I use soccer cleats but still kick in like I’m trying to murder my footholds lol.
I like being stuck in my holds

Yes I have wedges. I dont come out though thats not the problem. I can do triple flips, 1 footed flipes and stayed locked. My problem is when I have to kick in so hard and miss and break my toe. Im looking to kick in lighter and get the same hold when I kick in hard. or a shoe with some toe protection.

I started googling "steel toe sneakers" and came up with this result:

https://www.dsw.com/en/us/product/r...y_a4KVQJ7l3VMXWP308avsF66jL-TiDxoCWxUQAvD_BwE

Maybe this is something that will work well? It has synthetic/mesh upper, steel toe that is ASTM rated, and aggressive tread for turf traction.
I need shoes too, but these don't seem like normally stocked items .. None of the DSW in manhattan has them in stock.
