Ozy Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Trying to decide on new competition shoes with good spikes and all day comfort, to replace my solomon speedcross 5s...... Any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CClassForLife Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 If you're shooting on hard dirt or gravel, then I recommend the Adidas Icon V Turf. They're baseball shoes with shallow spikes and enough flex so they don't feel like hard cleats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stick Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Another pair of Salomons! What's wrong with the Speedcross shoes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kema Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Spikecross, less sand in shoes, nice grip on wood surfaces and they actually seem to last more than year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hello0o0o0o Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Everyone wears salomons or boombahs ... I used north face trail running shoes for a long time which has similar or more tread than salomons for reference. Last year I was sprinting as fast as possible (as one should), I slipped in some nice florida sugar sand. Luckily didn't dq or anything but still freaked me out. So from a recommendation from someone at a match, I bought *plastic spiked baseball cleats. They are super difficult to find as most baseball cleats are metal, but I was able to find some softish plastic cleats. I cannot express the difference it has made. I'm able to always run as fast as possible with confidence. Florida match terrain can be anything from hard packed ground, grass, sugar sand, to mud. The cleats can handle everything.

orangeman711 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 My Boombahs have lasted three times as long as my Speedcrosses. Boombahs also come in wide sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyScuba Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I love the Speedcross 5 Wide. My 3’s wore out pretty quick but a softer compound just wears quicker. Imo anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just received my first Boombah trail shoes and i swear they are a clone/ripoff of the Saloman's. Look, feel, and fit are identical, right down to the very narrow toe-box. Don't know if the soles will last any longer, but at less than half the price, i won't feel so bad about turning them into lawn mowing shoes.

Still running boombahs from 3 years ago, just got another pair for spares. Soles are slightly harder than the speedcross in my opinion, last longer. As was said, wider. My speedcross shoes had a tight toe box, boombah hellcats don't. At $35 clearance, I can by 3-4 pairs for the price of speedcross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.Elliott Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Nike Alpha Menace Sharks. Football cleats. Super comfortable, available in wide sizes, cheap as hell and traction like a bulldozer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdeal929 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 I’ve had Salomon in the past. Tried Boombah this summer and love them. The baseball cleat might be a great idea though. I’ll probably buy a pair from Boombah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuvDog Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I tired to like the boombah, but they hurt my feet. Too narrow in the toe. Anyone try golf shoes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I have wide feet so none of the gee whiz shoes people wear kill my feet so I just stick to my tried and true Merrell MOAB vents. Rugged, plenty of traction and super comfortable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intheshaw1 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Boombahs look like they are finally cleared out and aren't coming back. There have a couple of sizes left but are all small. I've been running some Teva hiking/running type hybrid shoe but the tread is wearing out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried football cleats, lacrosse cleats, Salomon Speedcross, and a few different Inov-8s (Mudclaw, X-Talon, etc) While the Hokas are not the most aggressive tread of the bunch, they are without doubt the most comfortable that I have found. They are available in wider widths and the tread is sufficiently grippy for the terrain where I shoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unannounced ice skating sessions with a loaded gun in your hand and all of your friends behind you is not a great time. Can verify. (This is why you want to bring a second pair of rubber soled shoes to a major if you prefer to shoot in hard cleats, just in case.)
