I think the comfort of the shoe is as important as the traction. I do not get to sit on the bench half the game as the teams do and I often have to do multiple games in a row.

That being said, for me I love Converse shoes because they fit my feet well. I cannot wear Nikes because the high arch support does not work. At times I will buy something cheaper, but find cheaper ones wear too quickly sometimes.

Converse usually has a "studded turf shoe" that I like very much. I think ever couple of years they discontinue the current model and make a new one. It is usally about the same, but changes the asthetics. I think it is marketed under "coach's shoe" sometimes.

I will give up some of the traction before I will give up a proper fit and feel. My impression is that many styles of cleats do not give me the flexibility I need.
