Hey man, I started to get plantar fasciitis in both my feet from wearing cleats. I switched to turfs, but still was sore from time to time. I have now switched over to trailrunners and use them exclusively.
I am an infield/outfield player depending on what night I'm playing or what the team needs. I play almost every night from April thru November. I've played in all types of horrible field conditions and have to say that if I was going to slip or lose my footing in trail runners, I would have in cleats also.
https://www.amazon.com/Salomon-Speedcross-Running-Silver-Metallic-X/dp/B004LB4V5E/ref=sr_1_1?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1480448362&sr=1-1&nodeID=7141123011&keywords=salomon%2Bshoes&th=1&psc=1
These are what I would recommend. 2 year warranty I believe as well. Just get some when they're on sale. I think I've paid at most $75 for a pair. I use them for golf too.
My feet great after tournaments and they're nice and light without any sacrifice to footing. I'm a fast base runner and these are perfectly fine for having to round bases or stop on a dime and run back to base. As for heel cushioning, there is some, but I like that it has some (goes back to the plantar fasciitis and not wanting that ever again).
Anytime I hear people asking about what type of cleats to get I always suggest trail runners. Make the switch and your fet will thank you for it.
I had this one for a few years. Build quiality and zippers weren't great, but I did get three or so years out if it. What was great is the built in cooler holds a 12 pack. So if that is your priority and you can live with some quality issues, thumbs up. :-)
I've had this one for a few months now. Decently happy with it. I like that it can take four bats so I don't need to swap things out when I go to different leagues with different bat rules. I am seeing a hint of zipper issue but everything is working well. Much more interior room than the one I listed above. One of main reasons I moved to this bag was I wanted to bring 12+ practice ball without having to carry a bucket. Minor gripe, the cleat pocket isn't as well ventilated as my previous bag.
U/clkou this is great for you. Really. I was a replacement level infielder on very good teams growing up. This is far better than having old Italian coaches hit one hoppers at you from ten feet away.
Thing you miss from not having actual fielding practice is your initial read/first step. Luckily, Hand-eye is more important than range in softball. You’re closer, you’re older, you’re slower.
I suggest just trying. One game that may amount to errors and runs but who cares. You’re not supposed to be playing there. Focus on fundamentals and footwork. If you do this drill once it’ll help you.
ONE CAVEAT: Short has the most defensive responsibility. If you’re on a competitive team you have to know all of.
If you don’t have a wall, this you can use in your living room.
If your pitcher wants the least obtrusive mask possible (it sounds like they do), then I'd recommend something like THIS
If safety is the number one concern, I'd recommend something bulkier. I personally have the Easton Mako 2
Full mask helmets are definitely heavier, and cut off some of your field of view, but they protect you from side/rear impact.
This is most likely the thumbguard you speak of. I use one and really enjoy it. It (in theory at least) is supposed to position the bat so you grip it with your fingers rather than with your palm (If that makes sense). It can take a bit of getting used to so if you do decide to get one I'd definitely hit up a batting cage or take some bp to get some hitting reps in.
I wear a rip-it as well. Definitely the go to pick if you're looking for a sleek, less-cumbersome mask. Basically just protects the front of your face and not the top or sides of your head. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00345HHJU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_S0.UAbGQVTG08
I thought about that too, but what I like about the three lax masks are they have full head protection. I don’t know if it’d be necessary, but if I helmet up and take one to the ear or jaw, I’m gonna hate myself for not going full protection. And if I wasn’t going that way, I wonder if a helmet Easton CCX Grip Skull Cap, Black, Large/X-Large https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005FLTIR0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_1d6YAbBG2NZY0 catchers mask and throat guard Easton Catchers Throat Guard https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002MGOGAA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_bi6YAb706A14Z would be a good option. It’d be cheap and easily to take off for a pop up. But in all the forums I’ve read, no one suggests a catchers mask...
I use this & find it works well.

My Review of it
I use this bag currently.
I've been using it two nights a week since March.
Zippers still work smooth.
Wheels DON'T get little rocks in them and lock up(last roller always did this).
Fit's in my Mustang trunk.
Has hooks for fence.
The retractable hand handle is great.
Lots of pockets.
Bottom of the bag has no tears.
My roller currently hold's; 4 bat's, 8 Balls, a pair of turfs, two gloves, hoodie, some alcohol, a 40oz hydro flask, sunglasses, batting gloves and there is still room for more.
Con's
No smaller pockets except for one on the front.
It comes with a removable bat holder you cant take it out and hook it on the fence, which you may like, I prefer to just take the bats out and lean them against the fence, which it can be a pain putting the back in.
Amazon has two different colors avaiable aswell. Twitch and Orange.
I got mine from epicsports. It was a little cheaper there, but only available in blue or gray
I wear this. Probably overkill. But you fuckers are only 53 feet away from me when I pitch. So... Yeah and it's comfortable.

I have their travel tee. It extends up high enough to use for softball hitting.
I believe this is the bag we use https://www.amazon.com/adidas-Team-XL-Messenger-Bag/dp/B004DCA0T2/ref=sr_1_4
And it's good to see you back in the game after your battle with Groat's Disease
I would buy softball pants, I've got these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005O8VCZ0/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
They're cheap, don't rip when I slide.

I’m gonna 3rd the tee!!

It doesn't have to be this exact one, but you get the idea
Anything with a 3 star rating on amazon after a billion reviews is probably bad.

I actually had the L6.0 too and regripped it as soon as I got it.
I don't know what Easton is thinking with these crappy grips.
Here's the grip I got off amazon. It actually looks great with the bat but could get a little dirty since it fades to white Batting Grip
