Traction is the Foundation of Gridiron Performance
In football, losing your footing isn't just a loss of yardage—it's a major injury risk. Athletic directors and equipment managers know that buying top-tier football shoes is only half the battle; maintaining the hardware underneath is what gets your team through the grueling weeks of the season. Our collection of replacement football cleats focuses on institutional-grade durability. Buying in bulk ensures your coaching staff is never caught empty-handed when a lineman loses a stud in the trenches right before a crucial fourth-down play.
Everything You Need for the Locker Room and Sideline
We stock specifically chosen hardware and accessories to ensure your roster has the grip they need for grass, mud, or turf:
- Replacement Football Cleats: We offer high-quality plastic male-thread cleats in lengths from 3/8" (specifically designed for artificial turf) up to 1" for deep mud, as well as 1/2" steel-tipped options. Sold in convenient bags of 100, these meet NFHS and NCAA legal strength requirements.
- Sideline Cleat Cleaners: Mud is the enemy of traction. Our heavy-duty Throw Down Cleat Cleaners feature tough rubber bristles to quickly remove debris from the bottom of shoes. Keep a few on the sideline to ensure your skill players always have clean spikes before stepping back onto the field.
- Heavy-Duty Wrenches: Avoid stripped sockets and frozen threads with our commercial-grade steel economy cleat wrenches. Designed for maximum leverage and durability, these are essential tools for every equipment manager's game-day kit.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Are the replacement football cleats legal for high school play?
Yes. Our 1/2", 5/8", and 3/4" plastic male cleats meet NFHS and NCAA regulations. Even our 1/2" steel-tipped cleats are legal, as the rulebooks state removable cleats may be tipped with leaded steel provided the overall length does not exceed 1/2" measured from the tip of the cleat to the shoe. (Always verify specific local or state regulations before the season begins).
2. What length cleat should my players use?
The ideal length depends entirely on field conditions. 1/2" cleats are the standard workhorse for dry, natural grass. 5/8" and 3/4" cleats are preferred by linemen for extra bite, or by the whole team for wet, muddy fields. 1" cleats are strictly for the deepest mud, while 3/8" cleats are best suited for artificial turf.
3. Can I use the 3/8" male cleats on artificial turf?
Yes. We offer a specific 3/8" male thread cleat that is intentionally shorter and explicitly designed to provide optimal grip on artificial turf fields. They offer enough traction for cutting and blocking without catching too deeply, which helps prevent lower-body joint injuries.
4. How many cleats come in a package?
To provide the best value for schools, teams, and equipment managers, all of our replacement football cleats are sold in bulk bags of 100.
5. How do I prevent cleats from getting stuck or rusted in the shoe?
We recommend having your equipment managers or players periodically loosen and re-tighten their cleats, especially after playing on a wet or muddy field. Keeping the threads clean and occasionally applying a tiny drop of lubricant to the male thread can prevent them from seizing up over the course of the season.
6. Do you accept school purchase orders for locker room supplies?
Absolutely. Morley Athletic has worked directly with schools and universities for over nine decades. We happily accept school purchase orders. Equipment managers and football coaches can easily submit a formal PO to purchase bulk cleats, wrenches, cleaners, and other consumable game-day supplies.
