I like these but think they are a touch loud for league cricket. Has anyone owned these? If so were they comfortable?

I've just bought the new 2013 white/green ones, they are narrower than the adidas 22yard lites. They seem to be more leathery so I imagine they will need wearing in as opposed to the adidas.

Hmm not good then, ive got quite wide/fat feet!

i have wide feet as well which surprised me with adidas cricket shoes as they've all been wide fitting where as normal adidas trainers are too narrow for me.
I suppose if you find a pair of these pumas and there no good then just send them back.

Good point, i'll contact them first to make sure

I used to have the normal lime green and white ones and they were very nice, slightly bulky but still very light and comfortable, i would thoroughly recommend them. I played against someone who wore the red ones and to be honest he came across as a **** for wearing them. Personally they are too loud and you have to be a very very good player to be able to carry them off, but even then you'll still look like a wrong 'en

I've just Re-read what i put and its probably a bit harsh (it didnt help the bloke who wore them when i played was an idiot regardless of his footwear so that probably influenced my opinion of them), i didnt want to put you off too much but i wanted to make you aware what some people would think.
If you play a decent standard of league cricket against some very good players then id still probably advise against it, its going to be more hassle then its worth. If you play a bit of freindly village stuff then go for it, its a bit different, youll get a bit of stick but its all a bit of a laugh.
As i said, as a pair of boots they are very very comfortable and light.
