If you look really closely, you can see the word VANS inprinted in the light blue area on the back of the shoe.

From what I'v heard they will not be cheap, $80-$90. For me thats a little to much for some cleats, but ya never know

No friggin' way would I wear a shoe, or any other apparel that displays some other team on it. Especially Avalanche.
and really super especially alot for $90.

Diadora Soccer Cleats are the best :)

Mine cost me around $90 4 years ago. They are EXCEPTIONALLY light. No foot fatigue after a long day of play:)

They give zero ankle support, but I have yet to really have that be an issue in paintball.

There ain't nuttin' wrong with a pair of Vans (the Willy Santos were one helluva skating shoe), but I've never seen any vans for more than 70 bucks.



Also, the only team that I would ever represent is my own.

Am I the only guy to play with boots? :confused:

Nice shoe, though.

I used to play in hunting boots. They were warm and comfy, but I gave up on boots because I noticed that when I started wearing lightweight soccer cleats, my feet weren't dead tired at the end of the day :)

I play in Altama's, they are the very same boot that our government issues to soldiers. Surprisingly, they are really comfortable and give EXCELLENT ankle support. Plus they shine up REAL pretty thanks to advice from Army. :) :)

I play in Altamas too, but my insoles disintegrated so I have to pick up a new pair.


P.S. Boots aren't supposed to be shiny.

my hightop lugz that my dog chewed on, they were some realy nice sued leather ones, but my dog ate parts of it so now they are my paintball shoes, the work nice too. But Vans making paintball shoes is unexpected.

I love my lightweight combat boots. Not only do they add to the overall "evil" look that I go for, but the durability and support that I require, especially since I play mostly woods fields.
