Title: Cricket rubber shoes for wide feet
Post by: rajesh500 on March 29, 2012, 08:13:22 PM

Hi,

Recently I bought Asics 4 Gel cricket shoes (I ordered one size bigger) and found out that it is very tight from the front. There is plenty of room in the shoes length wise but it is not wide enough. Does anyone has any experience/recommendation for wide feet cricket shoes?

I wear Asics wide running shoes but cricket shoes are just too narrow..

I'd get a pair of the running shoes you have spiked up mate?

I have seen this on Asics web site:

http://www.asics.com.au/footwear/cricket-shoes/gel-180-not-out-m/
The GEL-180 Not Out shares the same midsole/outsole as the Speed Menace, but yields a little more freedom in the forefoot.

It looks like they give little more space in the forefoot. ummmm...

I see its been sold by Nick (Aswani cricket) on ebay. I'll check with him for the size.

theDon: Do you know if the spikes are replacable with the rubber spikes?

I had the full spike version and the full rubber sole so dont really know if they are interchangable.  However they should be in my opinion, but the best person to ask is Aswani. Hes really good at quick replies. They also come up abit big on size.
