Talk:Cleat (shoe)

message: Cleat is a fairly US-centric term. In the UK and Commonwealth I've only ever heard 'stud' for the thing on the bottom of football boots.What do other places use?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.46.32.38 (talk) 12:24, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, "Cleat" is a term I have never actually heard (in the UK), hence I was looking it up! - Zephyris Talk 08:37, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

text: The 'cleat' term in the footwear field is not used in the British Commonwealth because a 'cleat' is a boat or ship fitting on which you fasten a rope.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.150.11.159 (talk) 23:12, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

message: The cutline for the picture at the very beginning of this article is too vague. There should be a modifying word before "surface." I can't think of a word at this moment but it should indicate that cleats help on a surface where they actually sink in. Saying they help you gain traction on a surface creates an "as apposed to what" thought in my mind. What else would one gain traction on? Anyways there should be a word along the lines of "pliable" in front of "surface." The fact that the picture shows the shoes sitting on exactly the kind of surface they wouldn't be useful on adds to the irony of this vagueness. The picture is ok I guess because that surface allows you to see the contours but the cutline needs to be improved to hold up it's part of the bargain.

message: On 4/17/2013 I updated this page with a "History" section, which gives a brief historical overview of cleats.  On 4/23/2013 I edited the History section by hyperlinking the appropriate words within the text.  This addition is part of an educational assignment.

message: There doesn't seem like there would be enough information for a full article on Rugby boots. It could be easily merged into the Grass cleats section of this article. Sarahj2107 (talk) 10:03, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

message: Is there more information to be shared on "Australian Rules Football?"  All other categories seem to have at least a paragraph.  Does the final link in the references usually work or was the web page taken down recently? Could use an update or link to a new site possibly with the same information.  Additionally, one of the last sentences in the history section begins "according to researchers" but does not offer a citation.  A statement like this may need to be backed up to be considered reliable.

message: I'm not sure if the way different cleats are grouped now makes the most sense. There are many different considerations for cleats within the grass category, some of which include play on turf, so are grass, bicycle, and ice cleats the best headings to differentiate the types?

message: Can you a reference be provided to show that the word ‘studs’ is used in British English to describe the whole shoe in association or rugby football. I have never heard that in my thirty years of playing sports. Nor have I ever seen them described that way. In my experience they’re referred to as ‘boots’. If a reference or references can be provided I’d be happy to look at it. Padraig Costello (talk) 22:21, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

message: Cleated shoes were around long before clipless pedals – the cleats featured a transverse slot into which fitted the rear edge of the pedal cage.  They were invariably used in conjunction with toe clips and straps.  Some track sprinters continued to use them into the 21st century. Mr Larrington (talk) 08:45, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
