Is it just me or is finding a good pair of cleats for paintball a royal pain in the backside. I find styles that look ok and have the features I want but they are out of stock. The pair I am replacing lasted over 4 years and were found on a moment's notice at either K-Mart or Walmart. The colors were not that great but they were only like $10 so the color was easily overlooked. This is really starting to tick me off.

WEll i play other sports besides paintball, football mostly. Huge football fan and play...well not in size atleast. Anyway i find them to be the best cleats for any sport, ever. They are durable, help you cut and start eaisly. I cant reamber exactly who makes my cleats but they are called Blitz. I got injured playing once and i kinda have to play with cleats requried cause i think i partially tore something in my groin. Thats another story for another time though. Ide go to dicks sporting goods and get them while you canc ause football season is comeing to a close so they are probley shipping in new things...like basketball shoes...

Oh and as for some fields which are artifical, dont use cleats, use tennis shoes or AT Cleats, which are just tennis shoes made with ridges so they dont tear the hell up outa everything.

Football cleats are my preference and preferably in a high top version.

I use football cleats and this is a great time to get a pair. Since the high school season is over, most sports stores have them on sale just trying to get rid of old stock.

I have used Dye cleats since they came out .
I just bought a pair of JT low rise cleats I like them alot but they are alot heavier than the DYE ATC carbon so I recommend DYE ATC for all around field turf or grass.

I like using the dye atc's, mainly cause they are comfortable on my feat. If its a really muddy day i bring my football cleats too. Mostly i use my dye atc's though.

theres some online for ya, go at it tiger$100 for cleats. Hell I'll just settle for a pair of converse all stars with nails driventhough them for traction. Might I be so bold as to add, cheap price to my humble request?

I use Nike Football cleats. There is an outlet mall about 45 minutes from my house and they have a Nike and Reebok Outlet store. I got a really nice pair of the Nike Football cleats for $20. Whats nice about the outlet mall is they have just about every size from kid size to 18+....I am bummed that I didn't buy another pair to save when these "die"...but I can always go up and get some more.

I know that Dye is or was having a sale on all of their last years models, might be worth taking a look at.

I gotta pair of ATC's so far theyve treated me nicely. After practice/tournaments I come home and wash them down with the hose in the backyard, and set them in my garage to dry. When I use them next practice/tournament they look brand new haha.

ok if this dont give you the cleats, somewhere you can look for them, football cleats in your own size, also they go from highest to lowest. So go to the last page

The only thing I dont like about the ATC's is they dont give good traction on turf. My local shop has the atomix turf and ATC's blow on that stuff...But for everything else they are amazing.

i have found soccer cleats work excellently,but if you really want to notice you have to get some nice ones,like 130$+ nice. reason i like soccer cleats best is they are extremely light,comfortable,some are customizable to how they feel and they are not big like ATC's. some ones to look at are some adidas f50's or puma cellerators,or if you want one thats fairly cheaper but very nice look at adidas copa mundials,and then if you have a smaller foot and want a very light cleat look at nike vapors, it will make you feel like you arent even wearing a cleat with these. i use the puma cellerators and they are very nice,light,excellent traction,and comfortable. i also play soccer so i can use these for more than just paintball,and you probably wont want to drop the money for a nice pair,but if you do,you wont regret it. go to www.soccer.com for more detailed description of these
