footwear

[longballer01]

I play in all kinds of conditions whether it be mudd, snow, sleat (no rain) and indoors. the indoor field I currently play on is a combat close quarters type of field in which the floor is slick hard wood covered in sawdust about 4 inches of it. i have even played in the subsurface cave field by my house in the sand and guano (bat ****).

thier is only one footwear that will carry you through all...........that is altama jungle style combat boots with the series 2 lug sole (not the panama sole).

they cost you about 70.00 us money and will last you 10+ years.

yea tony what the hell are tanels never heard of em ?


i have been lookin around for a good pair of cleats but nobody stocks em which is a bitch. What sort of prices are cleats going for?


anyway at the moment i play in ronaldo astros turfs but they can be a bit of a problem in really muddy bits.
also not waterproof.

sp to all the shoe making companies out there "can you build me a decent paintball shoe?" i think not

oh well

Well there is always the

bug ugly avalaunche things (see earlier on this string) don't know of anyone who uses them though

What about pack Rugby boots? they have ankle support, waterproofiness and (kite marked safety) studs for grip.

Just a thought.

I've just started wearing football type boots they are made for fake grass(not astro turf) and have a soft trangular plastic stud, no anke support though so doubt I'd wear them in the woods.

Jeez - the yoof of today

Tanels? You dont know what Tanels are??

In the days when it was German Para boots or Hitech Magnums - the original Tanels ruled and were the single best item you could buy to improve your game.

If the new tanels are anywhere near as good - then they'll rock.

Otherwise I have got a pair of the Adidas shoes - and they are comparable - in fact I love them and will be getting another pair when i get to New Orleans in 3 weeks (whoopee)....

See ya

Well....

Nike astro turf boot

Campaign was a breeze, having played hockey on astro turf all my life they are the only way to go.

Although I do prefer my falling apart old boots for old skool woodland fun.

Laters all

Good god people who don't know what Tanels are? I really must be getting old...hang on I am old
Bought first pair of Tanel 360's at Mayhem in '92 or '93 they died eventually but then I couldn't afford the real leather ones so I got the cheaper version (duraskin I think it was called) let the water in like nobodies. Then went onto Nike Sharks (still got them haven't worn them out) then a pair of Nike Cleats but as they were only 3/4 height I soon turned my ankle bad so threw them in a dark corner, now use Rebok Cleats for muddy places...TEMPLE !!! and Rebok Astro turf boots for the rest of the world ( litterally indoor and out)

I wear plimsoles

I'm just a silly american rec-baller and I wear Magnum boots, which are civilian combat boots(used by police and swat). They provide good support and grip well, inside and out.

german para boots are great in the woods. only about £15 from army surplus stores.i just got some nike acg boots to try out on sup-air this year.they're as light and comfy as trainers but with studs.i'll let you know!
