Title: Spiking Trainers in Taunton - Somerset
Post by: SillyShilly on April 10, 2011, 07:22:40 PM: Have just been informed that trainers can now be spiked by The Shoe Doctor in Taunton - apparantly a lot of the county boys have been getting it done in there with the prices being pretty reasonable.....circa £20 i've been told, but dont take my word for that!
Link to the website

Probably more useful for those living in the local vicinity - but useful to know of another person doing the spiking!

He might have stumbled across them because his heels needed to be repaired!

wasnt that the joke talisman made, but he phrased it a bit better

Post by: ShoeDoctorTaunton on May 07, 2011, 08:35:05 AM: Hi
I am the Shoe Doctor in Taunton. I have beena cobbler for 23 years and just recently started doing cricket spikes. I opened a new shop in Taunton very close to the county ground and started getting enquiries about the service from the Somerset guys. I saw what was done previously and thought i could do an as good if not better job. I have done quite a few pairs since and had no complaints so far. I am sponsoring Marcus Trescothick this season and done some work for him including spiking and he seemed very pleased. I am more than happy to offer a mail order service. Prices are from £25-£30 depending on the trainer +p&p. If anyone is interested feel free to email me & i'll be more than happy to send you a before & after pic of a recent pair i've done.
Steve

Nice to see someone local offering the service

Title: Re: Spiking Trainers in Taunton - Somerset
Post by: SG6-18 on June 26, 2011, 07:18:26 PM: Asics Gel 100 cross trainers
Title: Re: Spiking Trainers in Taunton - Somerset
Post by: Outlaw on June 26, 2011, 09:57:51 PM: Cheers always wondered what they where, look quite chunky for batting in assuming they must be pretty light!
Title: Re: Spiking Trainers in Taunton - Somerset
Post by: Buzz on June 27, 2011, 08:25:55 AM: I have a pair of Asics them they aren't that light but really comfortable and great for batting in - even without getting them spiked up.
