      Size your feet. After you pick a brand, double-check what size you wear. You can do this by visiting your local shoe store or sporting goods retailer. Have a sales representative measure your foot. Remember the size. If you can, try on a pair of baseball cleats offered by the brand you selected online. Some brands have a different feel and fit than others.

      Create your cleats. Once you have decided on a shoe company and determined a size, it's time to design your cleats. This process is fairly self-explanatory. Follow the instructions on your website of choice. Most companies let you color various sections of the shoe, picking from a multitude of options. Sections typically include the front, sides and back of the cleats, as well as the tongue and laces. Some companies even give you the option of coloring the company logo that adorns the cleats. All allow you to pick your own color scheme, deciding on a different shade for each section if that's what you want.
