What is a good all around paintball shoe/cleat??

[AutomagRT1483]

Here's my dilema, I have a pair of cleats. They are good and all, but they lack protection around the toe area and and generally not to comfy after a long days play. I was looking at the Diggers and Vans Paintball shoe and was thinking about get a pair of one of them. Any info on either or a better shoe?

Thanks

i know i tried to play in my football cleats on day. but theyre just to heavy for pb, so I ened up playin in my $10 walmart shoes the rest of the day.

I got a pair of Hi-Tec boots at Big5 for $19.99... they work good

I play in my soccer shoes. I have two pairs, turfs and cleats. I play in the cleats when it's really muddy, and I play in the turfs when it's normal ground. They work well for me.

nike landshark 3/4. Definatly not too heavy for paintball, after all, you run a million times more playing football. (if youre a back at least). For indoors, i wear my football turf shoes, but im concidering getting a pair of dye atcs and wearing them for indoor paintball till the treads wear out, then wearing them as normal shoes.

I have heard good things about diggers from people who have used several different types of cleats, etc.
Personally, I use inexpensive baseball cleats cost about $25. They work pretty good, but aren't as comfortable as I would like.
Just make sure you don't get metal cleats/spikes or you cannot play inflatable fields with them.

ME and the wife both use the diggers, and like them. not too heavy,good traction.

Dye ATC. Awesome traction, very very comfortable, lite, keep all dirt out, look good, and clean up with just a hose.

I would reccomend Dye ATC's too, they are nice. Personally i play in some nike shox, well until i can afford a pair of Dye's.

The Dye Atc's rock, if ur a frontman.... u'll be hitting the 50 in secs, trust me.

The Dye ATC's are great, i just got mine at IAO and I like them a lot. They run big though, so if you have to order them order half a size larger then you normally wear.

i just wear nike soccer cleats i picked up at gabriel brothers for 6 bucks on clearance and thier awsome

I love using my gators, because of there versatility. If I'm not wearing them at church or at a wedding I just use them to play a friendly game of paintball (center 50 here I come).

I would love to look into getting some of the shoes out there now that were made for paintball, however everywhere I look for them, I can not ever find them in my size. Wearing 16-17s it is kinda hard to find things to fit. I wear a pair of Addis soccer cleats. They have good toe and foot protection, as well as are fairly comfortable. The only time I try not to wear them when playing is when I play in the Compound at my field. The compound is a bunch of house trailers connected togather in a quasi circle. You can run from each trailer without stepping outside. The only problem is that inside the trailers the paint will start to coat the floor and become really slick. I have busted my butt several times in there even with regular tennis shoes.

Yes I'm a loser, I bought ATC's

But they are amazingly comfortable and easy to run with on SOFT GROUND. my friend wears his as his regular shoes... they dont really have much cleat in them much more.

I likem I recommend them.
