Yeah its a shoe qustion sorry..

But i play on wood/astroterf/grass/mud/dirt
So i was woundering if these shoes would work best.

They dont have matel cleats in them or anything(i think) looks all rubber grips.

Just get some 03 Dye ATC's, you can find them really cheap online and they work great for everything.

hmmm, it won't let me quote, without doing it manually.??


Anyway, I agree with fireblade, soccer cleats are the way to go.

amen - all the shoes that are 'specifically for paintball' is IMO all HYPE - overpriced and the same exact thing as the pair of adidas soccer cleats I got on sale at SportMart for around $15. Save your money - pants are more important.

no, they are made for a completely different purpose. you wont get any ankle support, and you'll fint it hard to go in any direction other then straight forward.

stick with some cheap soccer or football cleats

Those are for track and field. They will be extremely light but won't really do much for you like SpecialBlend said.

Look just get some football cleats
they have a mid ankel support and I have had my pair of Nikes for 4 years.
Cost was like 29.99 at any sporting goods store.

Inexpencive football cleats have always worked well for me.

mack work shoes(not boots) work well. cost like 15 bucks at target. they have good grip and steel toes. I use them for my work and they are great for paintball too.

I use Baseball cleats that I got from oshmans for 30 bucks. They are mid rise to give me some ankle protection. Works like a charm, comfy, and I was given a 25 buck gift card so they only cost me about 7 bucks outta pocket.

Cant beat that.

I'd advise against using waffle racers in the woods.
Why?
Cuz they were designed to be light. Had a pair when I use to run track
Put a tack through the sole without a problem.
Now try running in the woods with such a shoe
Also I tend to prefer a little more ankle support in my paintball shoes/boots.

^^ Should clear that up.. Not for playing in the woods. Im talking about a wood floor.. At one file di go to the only good indoor as of now that they have is wood floor.. Thats what i was saying not playings woods ball.

DYE ATCS are nice but really they arent much more than regular old shoes. They are very reliable though, I've used mine for 2 years now I think, maybe 3? and I'm just now retiring them because I got new shoes. There are a few holes in them but they still feel good :)

Or you can just go to walmart and buy a pair of cleats for $15, like RRFireblade said. I'd recommend doing that.

i've always used army boots myself.... found em cheap at a surplus store. u can step in all kinda crap an not even care. my freind actually lost a shoe in some deep mud before. i've never worried abt that with my boots. an extra plus is they're easy to clean, last forever, and will keep your feet dry

that said tho.. now that i'm playing tourny ball more often, i'm thinkin of pickin up a pair of football boots

er i mean soccer cleats.. heheh we call em boots over here (UK)... never even heard of a "cleat" before lol :rofl:
