Running Backs do not need the same type of football cleats as lineman. That goes without saying. When you are looking for a running back football cleat you want a cleat that is sleek and lighter weight. Remember the lighter weight, the quicker and faster the football cleat will allow you to be. You do not need the bulky cleats that a lineman would need. Remember, the name of the game is speed. The design and the weight are the key traits you want to look for. Below I have given a couple examples of the best football cleats for running backs:
Reebok NFL U form 4 Speed Mid SD4 Men’s Football Cleat– Now this is a unique shoe in that you can mold the shoe to specifically tailor it for your foot. By tailoring this cleat to your foot it will allow you a tight fit for quick cuts and also help with the speed aspect. Now this cleat is not for everyone, but if you are looking for an out of the box football cleat to consider, this may be the one.
Nike Speed Molded TD Football Cleat– This is one of my favorite football cleats. It features an EVA midsole which is the material used in the construction of orthotics. It features a Molded speed outsole for lighter traction and will allow quick cuts as well as enhanced speed.
Under Armour Team Cam “Cam Newton football cleat”- I know what you are thinking. Cam Newton is a quarterback; why would I want his football cleat as a running back? Simple: the design of the football cleat. It features a footforming 4D that will mold to your foot. It features secondary cleats which provde enhanced traction as well as acceleration out of cuts.
