Is soccer cleats ok for speedball?

[RavishingEddie]

I was wondering if it is ok to wear soccer cleats for speedball or if anyone has wore them to a carpet floor speedball arena. The reason I ask is because I am not sure if I should buy turf shoes for paintball or if I should just wear my old soccer shoes sitting in my closet. Will the the size of the cleats make a difference? Oh an they are Umbro, if that matters :confused:

yeah, as long as they are not metal cleats, personally i wear my sprinting shoes from track back in high school for carpet fields, but i have to take out the metal spikes in those, but there are a lot of little plastic spikes built into those. On truf i use my soccer cleats and they work great. Football cleats work as well, and same with baseball, baseball have the toe cleat which gives you an extra push off the break, lets you dig in more on turf and woodchips. the rougher the field the bigger the cleat you want to use.

My ATC's did not hold up well, I went and looked at the cleats at a sporting goods store, picked one with a pattern I thought would work and plastic cleats (no metal of course) and am much happier with them at less than half the price.

Uhm, studded outdoor cleats on a carpeted field is just asking to bust your ***.

Soccer cleats are great for speedball outdoors due to thier light weight, IMO.

Indoors, get turf shoes or wear sneakers or you'll spend half the match on your back.

Spikeless golf shoes are also a good option.

[mobsterboy]

no, they is not ok...
They ARE ok for speedball

[PnueMagger]

Soccer cleats are never good for anything. They are for, cough cough ... ***s. Paintball is never to be associated with a *** sport

[jenarelJAM]

what *** are you referring to? ^^^the only 3 letter curse i know is arse, but that doesn't make your sentence work.

I use $20 soccer cleats for anything dirt/grass etc, since there is only one turf/indoor field in my area, and I've only been there once. Before I go back, I'm going to get something better for it, it was really slimy there, really hard to run without slipping.

I'm pretty sure that the three letter word he's using starts with a "G" and ends with "ay", though I don't share the same view. Soccer is sweet.

[RavishingEddie]

Well, I have plastic soccer cleats and they were used for turf and grass. The speedball arena is outdoor but carpet floor. No woodchips or dirt.

no it starts with a F and ends w/ a AG. :tard:

obviously pneumagger never had big enough balls to play soccer, so he joined the ranks of "Small-Balled Airsoft wussies who paint their mags pink"

[tyrion2323]

Unfortunately, Soccer Cleats have been banned from the NPPL, NEPL, CFOA and PSP. Most fields don't allow them.

Only ballerina slippers or clown shoes are allowed.

Or I actually played football in the NCAA and earned conference honors at defensive end in addition to playing collegiate Basaeball as the catcher.

BTW - soccer cleats would be fine. I often wear football cleats or steel baseball cleats at woodsball places. Indoor fields or outdoor airball fields may not allow for this just incase you put a hole in a bunker.

Well see, he's right. Soccer balls are bigger than footballs and baseballs.

dammit... who would have guessed that id be the one to not pick up on sarcasm.

i was skimming the thread fast :(

(yes, i realize that that was redundant. deal.)

[Nate129]

Football, baseball, soccer, and basketball all take ONE ball to play.

Paintball takes a lot more balls than that.

:cool:

Please don't take me TOO seriously.

I use my indoor soccer cleats. They fly, son. They give me that metro fabulous look I'm into.

[Ishootyouinthewoods]

Molded cleats...preferably high tops. They give me support and traction. :D

[Lohman446]

No.. they are not.

I just talked to Nike - they insisted that for the 05 season you must buy seperate cleats for baseball, football, and soccer. They noted that changes for the 06 season require you to buy new cleats specifically branded for each sport you play in. They expect the same changes in 07 :D
