Dude, seriously, how do you go about buying shoes? Or is this a really stupid question? Suppose it depends on what sort of prosthetic you have?
don't get anything with metal spikes as they can punture bunkers and then you will be taken somewhere by owners of bunkers and never seen again.
I have always used Nike cleats, think their American Football boots, not a huge ankle but plenty of support. Dropped mine off to the cobblers today as the sole came away after 6 years playing and I got them 2nd hand/foot.
Nice to see Cook$ still out there frightening small children been in cave a while myself

I use low cut Tanels Thib i'm the same as you don't like the high onesIt's "funny" to see some people liking high ankle cleat for paintball.
I tried some tanel shoes around 2 years ago, and sweared I will never try high ankle shoes again.

My preferences are:
Nike Land Sharks for uneven grass
Exalt Cleats for Astro / flat grass
Magnum Boots for Woodsball
Playing rugby and football I busted both ankles so when the ground could give me an issue, I use the higher boots. Have to say the Exalt cleats (from LIPS) are fantastic!

Pretty straight forward for shoes. Just have to check both feet because left (prosthetic) is slightly larger. It's boots which are awkward as I can't point my toes, with ankle fixed close to 90 degrees. Wellingtons are a non-starter, and I also struggle with some motorcycle boots. Lace up style (like DM's or Magnums) are ok as long as I bothered to undo them properly. When I first played paintball I couldn't find suitable boots, and I ended up wearing lightweight hiking boots.
In the mid 90's I had a pair of Pony baseball cleats. They really helped my woodsball game as long as I avoided wet timber, such as steps, pallets or tree logs. As soon as the cleats hit that I'd be on my arse.
