I am looking for some decent quality and affordable soccer cleats. I am not advanced and just like to play occasional pickup games or go out to kick it around. Playing last weekend with athletic shoes was a little rough. Does anyone have suggestions on decent cleats in the $40-$60 range? Is ebay a good option? Basically something that do the job but won't give me blisters and a lot of foot pain.

TIA

Go to a Academy or Dick's and try some on in your price range. Go with the one that is comfortable.

I've never had a pair of soccer cleats NOT give me blisters the first few times I wore them.

Find the shoes you like. Purchase some of this at Walmart:



Start playing in them. As soon as you start developing blisters, put tape over them. The first few times after that, put tape on before you play.

Waterproof tape is part of my prematch routine now.

They have everyday solid cleats to top of the line ones.

I just bought these because all of the main fields here in SF switched to field turf and wearing cleats was causing a backache. Spent $42 with shipping from Dicks. Found a 15% off online coupon and got free shipping.
