I wear Asics for Fortitudes for running and everyday wear. I use the Asic 150 or 160 TRs for cross training and weight lifting. I've been looking for an Asic cleat for lacrosse. I wanted a low cleat because I had Achilles surgery and most mid and high top cleats irritate the area wear I had the surgery.
The Blackheath is exceptionally comfortable for me. It's light weight too. Most of our games are on Sport Turf fields so the short molded cleats are perfect. I suspect it would do well on a hard nature surface as well, but a longer cleat might be needed on a muddy field or a field with tall or thick grass. I think Asics makes a mid ankle cleat called the V Cut that may be better for other surfaces.
If you're looking for an alternative to a Nike (tend to be narrow) or a Warrior (made by New Balance) or even an Under Armour Cleat it's worthwhile to check these out.

My boys have played a lot of baseball, and this cleat has outperformed other popular cleats that they've worn. My son said that it's like putting on a shoe that's already broken in. Imagine a comfortable cleat! He also said that the arrangement of the spikes gave him more "push off" when running especially when stealing bases. It was a little pricier and harder to find, but it was worth it.
Best Deals on ASICS Men's GEL-Blackheath Field Shoe
My 13 yr old son is picky! He thought not only that the shoes looked good enough for him to 'sport' (right onto to the field to get dirty), but also that they were very comfortable. The price was great, and the delivery was quick.
Honest reviews on ASICS Men's GEL-Blackheath Field Shoe
After many years of being unhappy with the lack of comfort found in my baseball and soccer cleats I finally decided that it was time to try something new. I went to every major sporting goods store in town and tried on all of their cleats...nothing satisfied me. I did a little research and came across a new (to me) category of shoes called field cleats or field shoes. I then went out on a limb and purchased the ASICS Blackheath not knowing what to expect, and fully anticipating that I had just wasted my money. Boy was I wrong!!! The shoes are extremely comfortable, and feel just like a regular shoe, perhaps with even more cushioning. I have worn them for the past few weeks for softball and can honestly say that I think they even have more traction that my prior pair of cleats. The only thing that I do not know at this point is whether or not the actual cleats are as durable. Even if I have to replace my shoes every single year I would still give the shoe a very high rating. Now I will be purchasing the same shoes for both of my children so that they can use them for soccer and baseball.
