would these cleats be illegal due to the studs?

yes, because the spikes are solid almumminum, if they were nylon with flat metal tips, then no.

In any case, $200 for a pair of cleats for lacrosse?! You'll become a better lacrosse player by buying $50 cleats and then taking the extra 40 hours it would take you to earn the rest of the $200 at minimum wage (after taxes) and use it to practice.

+ you can get the same pair of cleats without the aluminum spikes for 100 less in europe at least.. :concerned

it says in the link that they are aluminum TIPPED.

i think that should be legal.


and also, mercual (sp) vapors are waaaay overrated. i play soccer too, and i gotta say, that if your foot gets stepped on with thsese bad boys, that you're in for a world of hurt.

Dont pay that much for cleets, and yes I'm pretty sure its illegal.

I thought so at first; it does say aluminum tipped, but elsewhere it makes it sound like they're just aluminum. If you look at the pictures, they sure seem like they're al metal.

Two-piece plate with lightweight aluminum detachable studs...
that doesnt say tipped, it says all aluminum

that's where it says tipped.

that's where it says tipped.

As I already pointed out once, it says both that they're aluminum tipped and—in another place—that the studs are aluminum, and from the pictures the cleats look metal.
