Sending some trainers off to Brian and Brenda today for half spiking. I'll give a full review on their return :D
Decided to go with the Nike Pegasus + 27 trainer in white/blue/yellow (our clubs colours).
Planning on using these for batting and my Puma spikes for fielding.

I don't think any footwear would protect you from a good yorker
-
i no that but cricket shoes have like rubber on the front that is harder than normal cloth..
or the leather is thick. these have mesh lol

-

-
nope, going to give them a call this week.
to be fair i did say that i wasn't in a rush.
-
its seems that they arent either ;)
-
Seems like they have been lost in the post :(
-
How come mate??
-
Dunno really know, sent them on the 9th nov and signed for on the 11th but they havent had them. so wonder if the postman left them with a next door neighbour or something. its not their fault, just seems like royal mail have let me down.

They will be getting a call 1st thing tomorrow morning its about 1.4mile from brian and brenda's so why have they ended up there??
-
a thick postman
-
or my dodgy hand writing lol
-
could be lol
-
Called "widefit shoes" a few times today be being passed around. spoke to one guy this morning who said that they haven't received any deliveries as they are a new company and only just openind. Second guy i spoke to later on in the day said i he didn't know anything ether so i asked to speak to their boss who apparently wasn't in.
also spoke to royal mail and looks like i have to fill a form out, they will contact them via post and go from there.
its not looking good, just hope i get the cash back so i can get some more trainers bought and spiked.
-
I was going to send my trainers off after Xmas to B&B but after reading this I'm not sure ??
Hope you get your trainers back as prior to this they seemed to have quite a good rep. Have they passed the company on to 'Widefit' ?? Vs sports and Owzat offer the service so I might go there.
-
i think this is more likely to be a royal mail error than anything b and b have done!
-
I hope so Royal Mail are going down the pan fast, the deals and services some companies offer now makes a mockery of them.
-
its nothing to do with the service from Brian and Brenda i must stress that!
its just royal mail which have delivered the trainers to the wrong address so don't let that put you off. I've spoke to Brian and Brenda and they seem lovely and so apologetic even though they couldn't have done anything about it.
once this is all sorted out i will defiantly be sending some trainers to be spiked by Brian & brenda. I'll just use a different company to deliver them.
-
Great to hear :D
I shall do likewise I think
-
ive been told that owzat use Brian & Brenda anyway so you might as well cut out the middle man :D
-
Oh Right, Looking forward to the review Fletch
-
might be about 4 weeks plus xmas...depends how long it take for royal mail to resolve
-
Just an update...bought some replacement trainers today to send down to Brian and Brenda. Won't be sending these until the new year so will update with pictures and review then.
