So many people have done. Good people to deal with, but they really dont seem to care about technology!

'Whats that' hahahaha
People happy with the results though? Just before I drop them in the post at work? Sturdy enough?
-

Brian and brenda are very good (as are the shoe doctor) - I have used them and this time of year I am sure you will get a quick turn around...

Brian and Brenda are super been around years.

So it appears we have a spiking service for the south west, the London area but not in the manchester area? Owzat cricket do a service but no idea where that is. Maybe there is a gap in the market up north...
-
Give Steve (shoe doctor) a call, he's done a few people's spikes know here and a top guy. He's a forum member too although I don't think he's been on for a while.

It would appear so mate, I rang both romida in Rochdale and cricket world (cricket supplies on the net) in Bolton and both said they sent theirs don't to London. Nothing local

Owzat were quite expensive I did have a look at them, they have gone to Brian and Brenda now, £30 including return postage seemed very reasonable from what I've seen
-
You won't be disappointed, they will be superb

I believe owzat use B&B anyway so my as well go direct.

Owzat is junction 28 of the M1
Brilliant shop!
-
I'll throw a few pictures up when they come back
-
The Shoe Doctor would spike anything I reckon,
They look nice and very very comfy I bet.
-
Think these would be ok for spiking?

The Puma Faas look a great shoe to be spiked, I've been waiting to find a pair around £30 so thanks for the link!
-
No problem! Thank i'm going to go for it as well!
-
I have a pair of New Balance trainers that are screaming out for this treatment...hardly used and really comfy..
Have issues with my Asics cricket shoes,get sore feet in them(dodgy toes...no idea why!?)
Have a pair of GM rubbers but don't get enough grip if at all wet/damp
Anyone know how much the Shoe Doctor charges?
Brian & Brendas cost seems OK but Owzats is a bit steep?
Thanks,
Ewan

Give Steve @ the shoe doctor a ring mate

Has anyone got any pics of Brian & Brendas handywork for a comparison?

i think Buzz uploaded some pictures a while ago. Might be worth using the search function?
-
...... Not related to op, but I saw on twitter that the shoe doctor was going to be unavailing so new product.... Anyone know more?

Please see the images here - Brian and Brenda do a good job, although personally I will be going back to proper cricket shoes as they are more supportive
