Great advice above from Alan. Turf shoes are the way to go, especially for caber--and NO cleats for stones. You need to be able to have your feet not get 'stuck' in the turf--nasty knee injury on the way if that happens. I have a blown out/repaired knee so I'm particularly careful about my footwear. That said, I'm a bit of an odd-duck on this issue. I throw everything but caber in a pair of deep tread, high cut combat boots that served me well in the military. For caber, I switch to turf shoes (if I haven't forgotten to put them in my bag). But like I said, I do everything I can to prevent getting stuck in the turf and still have to wear a fairly complicated (offensive lineman's) knee brace.
