Paintballing Shoes/Cleats - Worth it?

[SamFlyZ]

Hey 'yall

Looking into getting some nice new shoes for 'balling, I play everything really so not really looking for shoes for only airball or only woods.

I saw these on LiPS, and with a pricetag of £70, I was wondering if they're really worth it

Any other shoe brands/types that you guys recommend? Please post them up!

Thanks alot,
Sam

i think just paintball do some jt cleats that are more suited for both woods and airball

my exalt ones aren't too good in the woods, the spikes get clogged with dead leaves and they let dirt in sometimes, however the new ones might be different

Alright mate, I don't know whether thoses cleats are worth it or not but when I play I just use my old football/rugby boots from school with the studs swapped with smaller safety studs, a bit like golf studs that I got from JJB sport or somewhere. I guess that only helps if you got a pair of football boots kicking about (did you get the pun there? I try to hard) but just a thought, may save you a bit of cash.

Standard Football Boots do the job. just get stud'd boots and change the stud's to a longer stood, Rugby players have extra long stud's for scrums and what not. Or Golf shoes they have a decent length spikes.

American football cleats. If you can find a pair of Tanel cleats, go for them.

What Cook$ said. Have used Tanels last 2 seasons really nice

football boots for grass/ mud

for astro/ hard ground either astros or the best thing is sprint spikes (i got a pair off ebay for a tenner) take out the metal spikes and replace them with rubber golf spikes

Can anyone find me a UK site for Tanel Cleats, as can't find any anywhere.
Never really liked Football Boots for some reason, so I doubt i'll go for them.

Ive been using tanel's for past 3-4 years, have good ankle support , and they still in great condition.
Leicester wildcats use to sell them a few years back, but no more.

I use the old versions of these - best boots I've ever worn.
