What do you bowl?  If you're a seamer, I'd recomend Asics speed menace.  They give you support and are comfy to bat in

The Addidas SL22's are really nice spikes. I got mine for £55 but im sure I saw a sale of them on M&M recently for about 34.

The yellow ones I have are full spikes. I think the blue and red versions have different spike variations.

I've got the 180s - nice spikes and should suit you easily for what you need. There's lighter pairs out there for sure, but they are very supportive.

If you can, I'd wait until the 2014 editions come out. See Root wearing some very tasty pumas in the test.

These adidas 22yds mids are seriously cheap and should be pretty decent for bowling! Only in sizes 6,7,8 and 13 though
