Every soccer cleat released in 2020, ranked by our aggregated review score, the definitive list for 2020.
Mizuno Morelia II Japan tops this list with a Cleats Hub Score of 7.6/10. Every score on this page is a weighted meta-analysis of independent expert and owner reviews, we don't sell or test cleats ourselves, so the ranking follows the evidence, not a brand deal. Open any cleat to see the full source list and where reviewers disagree.
The right cleat comes down to three things: the surface you play on (firm ground, artificial grass or turf), the silo that matches your game (speed, control or touch), and fit. Price matters less than most buyers think, the biggest jump in quality is from budget to mid-tier, not mid-tier to flagship. See our complete buyer's guide, or go deeper on soleplates and surfaces, speed, control and touch silos, and sizing and fit.
The 2020 cleats below are the models released or updated this year. New generations usually refine the plate, upper and fit rather than reinventing the cleat, so a strong previous-generation model at a lower price is often the smarter buy. Compare the scores here against last year's list before you pay full price for the newest release.
Mizuno Morelia II Japan tops our 2020 ranking with a Cleats Hub Score of 7.6/10, aggregated from every review we could find. Umbro Tocco Pro and Ida Classica follow closely.
Each cleat gets one Cleats Hub Score, a weighted blend of independent expert reviews, owner ratings and objective specs, normalised to a 0–10 scale. We don't sell or physically test cleats; the ranking is pure aggregation, with every source shown on the cleat's page.
The cleats on this page run $170–$280 at RRP. You rarely need to spend at the top of that range, mid-tier models carry most of the performance of the flagship for a lot less.
Often not by much. New generations usually refine rather than reinvent, so a well-reviewed previous-generation cleat at a discount is frequently the better value. Compare the scores here against the older list before paying full price.
