Trainers vs army boots vs spikes vs footy boots vs cleats?

[obladeo]

Just been looking around for a while and picked up a set of track spikes for £15 delivered. Theses are amazing for woodsball as the spikes are only .5 mm and running over a bridge is easy.

So i was was wondering what do you use and why?

The reason i ask this is that one old fella fell over on the weekend and messed up his ankle

I use a pair of work boots, ie steel toe caps

Or just a pair of trainers when it's really hot

Football boots if it's softish ground. Astro turf (the moulded ones) when it's frozen or dry.

For woodsball I'd say decent boots, I use Magnum 9" combat boots.
They are expensive but they are very light, well padded and your ankles are worth it.

If you wear trainers, footy boots or spikes then don't run.

Speedball you want football boots.

Astro trainers for astro turf.

Boots proberly for woodsball!

i got a pair of running spikes from ebay payed about tenner for them. they are great for woodsball. very light and comfy. loads of grip with small spikes. plus spikes only on front so you can still slide behind bunkers.

There is a good thread about it on UKS if your interested. Basically support, comfort and costs taken into account.

Me personally, I use workboots. Well worn in, at work, I like to have the steel toe. Im prone to kicking things so it helps Other team mates use cleats, hiking boots, whatever. Really is a personal choice like a mask.

i'v got some us vietnam jungle boots from soldiers of fortune for £29.99 there have great grip on them.
I did try Trainer but no good slipped over in the open a nice target for 10 people shot at and no one missed

I play tourneys generally, although I have played on a couple of woodsball sites in American Football cleats and they seem to do the job rather well. They've got better support around the ankle - worth a look at least.
