We've spent over a year testing our custom fit baseball cleats with professional players and barefoot enthusiasts, and BioCleats are in a much better place for it. After several rounds of stud pattern iterations, they now balance traction and flexibility without giving up performance, while still maximizing foot activation and health.
The current build, side view.
Key testing insights
- Forefoot and toe studs. We paid close attention to angle and placement to optimize base running, so your first step off the bag is explosive and stable.
- Heel studs, widened for a more secure plant foot when you're hitting.
Stud placement, iteration by iteration.
- Insole design tuned for grip, comfort, ground feel, and durability all at once, so your feet can actually relax over a multi-hour game or practice without losing activation or proprioception.
Interchangeable metpads, sold with the cleat or on their own.
We also sell the insoles as a stand-alone item; the interchangeable metpads help improve arch activation and foot strength on their own.
What makes BioCleats different from traditional cleats
Closer to the ground for more power
Most traditional baseball cleats carry a 5 to 10mm midsole cushion that absorbs energy and dampens your swing. Ours have no midsole at all, so you stay closer to the ground and more of that energy actually transfers into your hit. That means more hitting power and sharper, faster movement on the field.

Custom fit to your feet
Everyone's feet are different, and a real custom fit means optimal stud placement for your specific foot shape, fewer pressure points, and enough personalization that your name can go on the side of your cleats if you want it there.
The scan itself is easy: a free two-minute 3D scan of both feet through our scanning process, and we start building from there.
Built for performance and longevity
- Zero drop keeps your feet level with the ground for natural biomechanics, barefoot style.
- Wide toe box lets your toes splay for better balance and stability.
- Flexible cleat plate moves with your foot for ground feel and agility.
- Aggressive toe studs increase push-off power and help with lateral changes of direction on the base paths.
- Metal studs in the forefoot and heel for traction and durability, especially on harder dirt infields.
- Cleat plate teeth for added grip in compromised positions.
- A higher cleat plate edge for lateral stability and extra protection.
- More tongue padding to protect against foul balls without losing comfort.
What our testers found
Two people deserve real credit here.
Charles Jones, a semi-pro player, showed us exactly how BioCleats hold up explosive and grounded. His schedule, daily practice plus three or more games a week, is what let us see where the cleats actually broke down, and that's what got durability from a single season to multi-season potential.
David Jensen put in real time refining a product meant to help thousands of baseball players. A decade as a baseball player himself, plus his background as a physician, gave us the kind of feedback that improved every feature on the cleat. His testimonial is here.
Between them, they've seen the difference firsthand: more power in hitting, better comfort on the field, from a minimalist, custom-fitted cleat.

Don't forget toe spacers
