Out of Ammo Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I've had 2 pair of the Boomba Hellcats. They're great shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillGarlandJr Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Altra Superiors - They’re trail runners, zero drop, with a nice wide toe box. I’ve found the tread works well on all the surfaces we shoot on here in the PNW, and I can wear them all day with no issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brooke Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Sorry to hear Boom Bahs are going away. Ive had 4 pairs and love them. Last forever and are comfortable.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vluc Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 It looks like all of their trail shoes are going away. Have to see if their aggressive turf shoe is acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promtcy Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 I emailed back and forth with a rep from Boombah a few months back and was told that they are designing a new trail shoe. Obviously that hasn't happened, I'll email them next week to see. They have a training store about 4 miles from me. The new Turf's look like they would work for most surfaces. They are actually pretty similar to the Trails on the inside portion of the sole. They look like they don't have the same drop as the Trail/Hellcats. Also seems like the bottom is more flat.

Stafford Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 This year's mode of the Under Armour baseball turf has a more aggressive pattern than the previous model. Almost like the golf shoes that come with small rubber spikes. Basic black or a variety of colors. https://www.eastbay.com/product/~/23000002.html?source=shoppingads&locale=en-US&SID=7726&inceptor=1&cm_mmc=paid search-_-google-_-g-_-PLA-_-DPA-_--_-P-_-Prospecting-_--_-9239169973-_--_-96614061031-_-PLA-_-23000002-10.0-_--_--_-&gclid=CjwKCAjww-CGBhALEiwAQzWxOi7GMIKsEbiYWAfZ8KFgO14FuWiOf6QDX5eH6skW--VVsZt3iNLwXhoC7ToQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's odd, you can design a new shoe and still be selling your older line. I know some shooters in my area are distressed that the trails are gone. Not real keen on dropping 3-4x as much for speedcross again. Edited June 28, 2021 by vluc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT_Schultz Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I, too, am bummed that Boombah dropped the Hellcats. I wonder if they know how much shooters like them. Might be worth the time for everyone who will miss those shoes to drop the company a note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vluc Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) I just got an email back this morning saying that they "should be releasing a new trail shoe this fall/winter". Lol, so take your pick... Edited June 29, 2021 by vluc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozy Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share Posted July 1, 2021 On 6/25/2021 at 7:18 AM, Balakay said: I am currently using my Hoka Speedgoats. 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 Couldn’t agree more … the Bokassa are super comfortable…. Yet aggressive enough to give you a good grip and traction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reds_Dot Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 I use LaSportiva Kaptivas I have also used the Mutant from them as well. LaSportiva Kaptiva Shoes LaSportiva Mutant Shoes I can't use shoes with narrow toe boxes like the Solomans. LaSportivas have nice arch support and good tread. The rubber works pretty well even on wet painted wood. They are comfortable for all day wear as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpm8300 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 They are expensive but the Salomans are great shoes - I used to do Speedcrosses but now use a combination of those and the Outlines: https://www.salomon.com/en-us/shop/product/outline.html#color=49396 These are great for everyday and match uses - they have plenty of traction but traditional laces and are very comfy.

Stafford Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 I never heard back from the email I sent to Boombah. So, I ordered a pair of the Salomon Speedcross shoes. I'll try them out this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathanb Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I wore boombahs to play softball in and I don’t know how you guys are wearing them for matches. I had to resort to removing my shoes between games of long tournaments or I was crippled after. And I wasn’t even in my 30s yet. I really bet that boombah has no idea shooters even wear them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stafford Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I liked the Boombah's and would have gotten another pair. For trail running, the heel was a bit hard. I think they're a good option for shooting in wet/muddy conditions and I'm hanging on to my one pair for those times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

synchronicity Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Well, I did make Super Senior this year, but I can't be the only one out here in desert tactical boots. They work on this hard packed New Mexico sand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
