FAQ
No. The soft rubber padding prevents chafing and also grips your sock to stop the piece from sliding around in your shoe during play
If the foot size is smaller than women's size 7.5 or men's size 6, it is sometimes not a good fit
CleatSAFE is designed to shield the vulnerable top of the foot—an area not covered by shin guards. Its rigid shell and shock-absorbing padding help absorb impact from accidental stomps, reducing the risk of painful bruises or injuries
You can use CleatSAFE instep Protector for all sports that require cleats, and also for sports involving risk of hits or injury to your instep such as soccer, football, rugby, field hockey, lacrosse, baseball and softball, to name a few
If it's not comfortable, then please return it for a no questions asked refund. But before you return it, here are a few things to try that have worked for some people:
- Try moving it around to different positions on your foot. For example, slide it up or down a little bit, or shift it sideways left or right
- Some of us have more sensitive skin and may need more cushioning. Try wearing a second pair of socks (ankle or full size) under the piece to provide that extra cushioning.
- Try using cotton socks instead of synthetic fabric socks
Absolutely. CleatSAFE is lightweight and ergonomically designed to fit inside standard cleats (men’s size 6+ / women’s size 7.5+). Players can still dribble, pass, and shoot naturally—without upsizing their cleats.
No. It protects the immobile part of your foot, the instep. It is more evenly contoured than the natural foot and may even enhance your shot. The part of your foot that you need for ball control is left uncovered
It weighs less than your socks. You do not feel you have it on when you wear it correctly
Yes. Shin guards only cover the shin, leaving the instep exposed. CleatSAFE works like a “shin guard for the feet,” adding an extra layer of protection exactly where cleats often land.
This is the only color combination available at this time
Use a damp cloth to clean it. Putting it in the washing machine may damage the glue that sticks them together
We recommend wearing socks with it as they provide the required friction for it to stick to your instep, stay in place and not move in your shoe during play.
