I have to mention these - I don't use them, but if I were in the market I'd go either for these or something very similar. Not necessarily HK, though they're a much more mature (in all ways) company than they were a decade ago and no longer bother me as they once did.

I'm mostly a speedballer, and baseball slides are common since I play back. Baseball slides are also a great way to bust ankles. I needed something that let me run while laning, slide, then dig in the cleat to pop up on the other side of the bunker - preferably with a consistent lazarbeam the whole time from breakout to primary. Also preferably with an intact ankle.

That’s just a rebrand of a football cleat. You can find those on discount after every football season. The hard spikes are terrible in the woods and turf tho keep in mind.

Yeah, but hi top cleats aren't something you can buy here in NZ. Rugby and soccer are 100% lo top, and American football/baseball/lacrosse/whatever literally don't exist here. We have loads of hockey though (field) so those boots are good for turf.
