| Posted | Discussion |
| June 27 stattad Men's 65 241 posts | I bought some high top cleats from Boombah because they were a closeout and I have a hard time finding shoes in my size. There are no returns for this shoe. Why is it no one wears high tops in tournaments? Are they worse for running? |
| June 27 unclebuckgb 10 posts | i also bought the boombah high tops i have other boombah shoes(mids) size 11 the high tops are much smaller very tight dont know if i can wear them so if you are buying the highs buy 1/2 size larger |
| June 27 stattad Men's 65 241 posts | I bought a full size larger and they're still tight. |
| June 28 Turning2 Men's 70 205 posts | good discussion string from few years ago that will help in decision making on whether to buy molded cleats vs turf shoes along with wide width available cleats Message Board Home - Under the Change Topic - scroll down to Product Review, press Go then on second page, there is a discussion on Cleats May 30,2017 that is very informative - much discussion on how molded cleats are harder on Senior players feet, especially on hard infields, also the need to get Wide sizes, EE, EEE, or Extra Wide - Alan Tanner has good info on New Balance on one comment. I only use New Balance and have seen quite a few players switch over the last couple of years also, their shoes are wide, much more so than Nike or Boombah. and their durability is much better than Boombah, Hope this helps |
| June 28 TooOldToFight Men's 60 24 posts | Stattad, I have 2 pair of spikes from Boombah and, like you, mine run smaller in width and length than normal spikes. Six weeks ago I purchased a pair of "KevenAnna Premium Professional 4-way Wooden Shoe Stretchers". They cost me $26 but were one of the best purchases I've made in years. They provide options to make your shoes wider overall, wider in certain spots, or longer (you don't have to apply the length option if you don't need it). I have 4 pair of spikes and I've used in on all four with good results. You have to make sure you put them very tight into your shoe and leave them there for 3 days. My feet are no longer in pain after a tournament or league games. Thought I'd share this since I had been in the same position as you. Rick |
