Anyone want to recommend a set of cleats for playing Gaelic football? The running/kicking aspects are similar to soccer (except there is a lot of contact, and you can run with the ball, so it is closer to rugby).

The last set of cleats I bought was a long time ago, and they were for (american) football. I'm looking to spend about $60 for this.

I have some VINTAGE 1968 - 1969 football cleats in good shape!
And he'll even throw in the vintage 1968 foot odor for free! ;)

Yeah... I'm not actually looking to kill someone with these things though.

And to the person who recommended www.soccer.com, I'm looking for specific brand/model recommendations, not vendors (yet).

Hey my feet may smell, but after all THOSE years, well I think even MY foot odor may have dissipated by now! ;)

When I played gaelic years ago I used to just use my normal football boots (soccer there). I woulda thought gaelic was pretty much non-existant there though.

Awww, does the poor little baby want to play a non-contact sport? Maybe you should stick to checkers ;)

It's not exactly widespread, and the vast majority of people that play it here are of Irish heritage.

Since I do not play soccer, I'm still looking for recommendations for specific sets of cleats...
