paintball cleats worth the money?

[thump]

well ive been thinking about getting a pair of paintball cleats and was woundering if they are worth the money?the ones i have seen are a little expensive($100+).right now i have just been wearing my army boots but im thinking that the cleats will be a lot lighter,lol.
and also ,does it really make a difference between "paintball"cleats or are soccer cleats jsut as good?
anyone who wears/use to wear cleats please let me know what you think of them.
thanks

i wear dye atcs. I got em for 50 bucks, which is a little more than a pair of football cleats. I like them because theyre good on almost all surfaces.

yea i usually wear old etnies or running shoes..the pball cleats look alot more comfy then soccer cleats do. im not sure about football cleats, i dont play football, but i think 100+ is alot of money for cleats so im not going to purchase any

Football cleats is what I would get soccer cleats aren't really right for paintball.

I bought ATCs and wore them all the time. I still use them. I'm not even sure how old they are, like a year and a half I think. They're starting to fall apart. I use them as my regular tennis shoes as well as paintball shoes so they get alot of wear. :)
I really dont see how the ATCs are any better than regular tennis shoes besides the zipper, thats pretty neat, but that comes on some tennis shoes as well if I'm not mistaken. There isnt a whole lot more traction with it..

Get a pair of High top football cleats...much better than soccer. The high tops also give more ankle support. You can find these relatively cheap and they will perform just as well as the more expensive pb cleats.

I would just buy cleats that I know I would use for other things. Like I use soccer cleats for paintball, soccer and football. SO I get my moneys worth, the kind of cleats are the Nike total 90s and they may be $170 but they are used for so much. I recomend geting some cheaper cleats, I know places that sell good cleats for less the 40.

The type of cleats you get should be determined by the ground that you usually play on. I played lacrosse in college and i had a few different pairs of cleats for different fields we played at. Screw in cleats are great for really thick, deep grass or mud. Molded cleats are usually a little lighter and good for your average grass. If you have ankle problems, then high tops help a little bit, i still sprained my ankle a few times and had to wear a brace but id say they're better than low tops. Now for paintball, the fields i mostly play at are really rough (hot, dry california valley) and if im running over rocks, hard packed dirt and just debris in general i want running shoes, cleats are terrible for hard pack or if youre stepping on a log or over a bunker. the paintball cleats that ive seen are a pretty soft molded clear, good for a lot of different surfaces, i wouldnt pay for them but ive heard good things.

Be wary of rocks, when palying recball! you can slip !

there are things called turfs, they have a lot of small cleats and are really good for grass and dirt http://soccer.com/IWCatProductPage.p...duct_Id=114376
