There
are many different types of cleats. Today we are going to look at the the main
types of cleats.
The
main style of cleats most players will come across are either the Exalt TRX or the HK
shredders. Both are good but also a little pricey. They both have very different styles, but both are top notch and will work in most conditions.
Some
people may not like the price or aesthetics of the paintball branded cleats - that is
ok, it's all personal preference - but here is what to look for when buying standard cleats.
This
is a very common cleat, the spikes on the bottom differ from the ones on the
shredders and TRX as these will embed themselves deeper in the ground relative to others and still allow a player to move fast.
You will notice that this is a similar cleat, but with different spikes. These spikes are
more suited for soft soil or mud - they dig in deeper than other cleats, giving
more traction. These are a little slower to run in, so these are best suited for
back players. I suggest not using these in the woods as they don’t work very
well when walking on rocks and logs.
