Title: Asics or Adidas
Post by: Biggyd63 on April 17, 2011, 09:02:41 AM: Morning everyone

I saw these on eBay yesterday
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380323829205&var#shId
At what I thought was a good price

I have been very loyal to Asics for both running trainers and cricket spikes
But my green/gold spikes have been giving me blisters for about 2 seasons, a common problem
However, they are lightweight and flexible
What shall I do?

Cheers
Dan

That was by a ex county player and i find it to be true, dont think you can beat asics for off the shelf comfort but each to their own i guess

Post by: peplow on April 18, 2011, 08:24:35 AM: I found adidas spikes to much better, comfier over a longer period and just an all around good boot. Asics i felt were a little flimsy and very uncomfy!

They never get the chance to heal if you play 2-3 times a week. I believe its just that line of asics which are the prob, green/gold advance 2's. I have had several other pairs of asics and never had the same prob.

I am thinking of getting some trainers spiked up this year,
