My concern with metal cleats is that I've seen the damage they can do... to OTHER people. My sister's ex-boyfriend used to play ball, and he got his hand stomped (accidentally) by someone with metal cleats. One of the more disgusting things I've ever seen. I've seen similar accidents with plastic cleats. The damage was there, but not to the same extent (cuts requiring bandaids vs. multiple stitches).
Metal cleats are simply not necessary. I never wore them when I played ball, and I never had any troubles getting traction, even on crappy fields. I used plastic cleats.
I think the obsession with metal cleats comes from "well, the pros use them, and I want to be just like them." Frankly, we all know where that attitude leads... Just look at Men's Modified.

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
