When it comes to lacrosse, the heat on your feet is just as important as your gloves or stick. The right pair can give you the edge in speed, grip, and all-around comfort. Whether you’re a goal scorer, locking down on D, or exploding out of the faceoff X, cleats matter! With the launch of the latest models, players now have more specialized options than ever. Here’s a look at three of the best on the field this season:
New Balance Freeze 5: Built for Quick Cuts
Quick. Shifty. Unstoppable. The Freeze 5 is made for players who live off the dodge. With Quixrail traction and lightweight design, it’s all about explosive cuts and ankle-breaking moves. The Freeze has been a staple in lacrosse footwear, and the Freeze 5 continues the legacy. Designed for midfielders and attackmen who thrive on agility, the Freeze features a lightweight frame with traction technology that supports sharp cuts without losing stability. It’s a go-to cleat for players who rely on lateral movement and change of direction to beat their matchup. We have a large assortment of colorways here at LU, including our own LE Khaki colorway!
