I have only owned one pair of cleats when I played soccer in the 5th grade. Do you know anything about them?
I know cleats provide additional traction to a slippery surface
Right like grass or turf. Besides football and soccer, what other sports do people use cleats to play?
Well athletes have worn cleats since the 1500's, so that would suggest that sports like rugby and baseball have a use for them
Oh yeah I forgot about baseball. What were the ancient cleats made of?
Well there is actually no surviving example of cleats, but there's written documentation that has them listed as football boots
Oh ok so then what did they make the football boots out of?
Apparently it was really strong leather, and they cost four shillings which is equal to $200 today!
Oh wow that seems like alot for back then, I think thats around what nice ones would cost today right?
Yes good quality of spikes are beneficial for athlete's shoes!
