1. yes, you have to get new ones. The shape of the cleats are different...soccer are usually round cone like shape and softball is more of a square and rectangle. The are also in a different pattern and location of the cleats. Soccer doesn't have a cleat in the front under your toes. The league will no allow you o play in anything other than soccer cleats .

2. you need to buy new cleats!!! soft ball cleats are ment for dirt and they are rubber spikes and soccer cleates are meant for grass there fore they are i little bit more pointed at the tip of the cleat its as simple as that!

3. though both games have somewhat similar cleats as the commonality in their regions. But there is the difference in both of the games cleats so you need to buy another uniform for your soccer.

4. I've been playing travel fastpitch for 5 years and have had many many cleats. I usually use soccer cleats because they are lighter and easier to run in. I also pitch and soccer cleats aren't as heavy on my feet. A girl on my team plays soccer and softball and she wasn't allowed to use her softball cleats at her soccer game because softball cleats have an extra spike on the toe.
