Title: Asics - Rubber Soled Cricket Shoes
Post by: FattusCattus on January 09, 2012, 09:49:08 PM: Are Asics doing any cricket shoes that are non-spiked these days?

Looking for some to use on astro and nets.

Dunno if they do any specifically without spikes.

Correction - you are right ... just looked on our order form and they are sending the Gel-Peake instead of the TR100 !

I quite like the look of them...

Post by: PedalsMcgrew on January 10, 2012, 12:25:48 PM: Interesting conversation this as I have recently had to buy a new pair of trainers for winter nets. My last two pairs have lasted 3-4 months max as the surface is so abrasive and the grips on the bottom literally get ripped off the shoe. This time I went in the other direction and bought a proper pair of New Balance running shoes off Amazon for £30 (reduced from £75). So far, they aren't showing any wear at all although time will tell.....they're more comfy than most cricket specific shoes as well which is a bonus..

Good value too ;)

These are the ones I went for....I'm very pleased with them and seem to stand up to a fair bit of abuse (so far)

I reckon maybe a more 'tennis' oriented shoe might suit the bill perfectly. A flat souled shoe would probably last a bit longer?
