Art in Motion
Take a deeper dive into the backstory of the Hypsole x Dez Customz collaboration, with Hypsole founder Jes Christian and artist/owner of Dez Customz, David "Dez" Zambrano.
[ Finished Work ]
Lead Artist
David “Dez” Zambrano (@dezcustomz) is a multidisciplinary artist based in the DMV (Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia), whose work is recognized for its vibrant, thoughtful storytelling. While his artistry spans different forms and mediums, Dez is often sought after for custom projects for professional athletes, entertainers, and sports organizations. His ability to create detailed works using sports products as a canvas combined with his immediate vision and interest in working with the cleat guards, blended seamlessly with Hypsole’s commitment to aesthetic and thoughtful design.
Product Specs
Hypsole cleat guards slip onto your cleats to protect your studs from wear and tear while trapping dirt and grass, so your cleats stay fresh and last up to twice as long.
Find Your Size and Cleat Compatibility
Use the following steps to measure the length of your cleats:
- Heel against the wall
- Toe against a flat object
- Make sure the cleat is straight
- Measure from the wall to the object (in inches)
- The length you measure is your size
- In between sizes? Choose the larger size
- Don't see your size? Join our waitlist above.

Our sizing is unisex. Adult and youth sizes are on the same scale. Our smallest size (9 inches) is compatible with cleats starting at around a US youth size 1. Our largest size (13.5 inches) falls around a men's size 15 or 16.
Compatible with:
- All soccer cleats
- All ultimate cleats
- A wide selection of cleats for football, lacrosse, baseball, softball, and rugby (exclusions below)
- Cleats with sharp metal studs (rounded studs are okay)
- Cleats with a bulky sole (found on some baseball and softball cleats)

Product Details
Custom Product Details
Once the mural was finished, each individual pair of cleat guards was taken down and individually customized. As a result, each pair in this special-edition collection is a unique custom work of art by Dez Customz.
Due to the superficial treatment used to create each customized pair of cleat guards, each design will (like with all custom cleats or shoes) show natural wear with use.
Please note that the cleat guards you receive may not have the same color combinations as those pictured. Each pair is custom-painted with different colors, and you can look forward to the same vibrant, graffiti-style aesthetic across all pairs.
Tidal 3D™ Elite Design
- Lightweight lattice in place of solid material allows for a reduction in guard weight, keeping your stride light
- Strategic support strips increase durability in high-degradation regions
- Tough tread underfoot improves guard durability
- Compressible cleatbed reduces cleat stud pressure
- Adjustable straps work with cleats of different heights and widths within the same length profile
- Contouring wave design provides a seamlessly flush but comfortable fit around different cleat silhouettes
- Heel step tab allows for easier removal once the strap is detached
- 100% 3D printed with 40% bio-based elastomeric polyurethane. Learn more.
Additional Specs
- Single guard weight: 8.4oz (size H11.5)

How to Use
For your convenience, your cleat guards and straps will come preassembled according to the following instructions.
STEP ONE
Place your guards on the ground, and use your hands to open each side outwards. Step into your guards with your cleats on, sliding your toe under the toe of the cleat guard, and then step firmly down into the heel.
STEP TWO
Attach the free edge of the strap to the button on the lateral (outer) side of each guard. This side of the strap is meant to be used each time you wear your guards.
ADJUSTING YOUR FIT
If you find that the strap is too tight or too loose around your cleats, take your cleats off and leave your guards on them. Adjust the attachment on the medial (inner) side of your guards up or down accordingly to customize your fit.
The strap should slide easily back and forth through the medial slot once detached, even with your cleats in your guards, allowing you to see and select the best setting more easily.
This attachment is only meant to be adjusted when you're finding the right fit for your cleats, and shouldn't require frequent adjustments. For this reason, we've intentionally made it harder to attach and detach the strap from this side.
Once you've made the appropriate adjustment, return to steps one and two to check your fit.

Care Instructions
Your cleat guards are meant to sustain the wear and tear that would usually damage your cleats, so inevitably they will wear down over time.
To keep them in good condition for as long as possible:
- Walk (do not run or jog) in your cleat guards, as running will increase degradation in high pressure regions and may result in premature wear
- Take your cleats out of your guards after use, and keep your guards out of extreme heat or freezing cold temperatures.
- Please note that due to the light-sensitive nature of the material, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat may result in discoloration.
- For easy cleaning, submerge your guards in room temperature soapy water, shake, and rinse thoroughly.

Safety Warning
Your cleat guards can be used to walk anywhere you can walk in standard shoes, before or after athletic training or competition.
WARNING: Your guards are not meant to be used as on-field performance footwear.
They should not be worn while practicing or competing, or during any intense physical activities (ex. running, sprinting, jumping, or lifting).
