Am getting boils on my feet wearing the Reebok ones (not sure which model).. but seems heavy when I put on the metal spikes.

What's a good price for light shoes with soft materials (having removable spikes as well)??

I think the New Balance 4030 shoes are a great price and should be suitable for you: http://www.itsjustcricket.co.uk/cricket-footwear-c26/cricket-spikes-c27/new-balance-ck4030-cricket-shoes-blue-white-p777 (http://www.itsjustcricket.co.uk/cricket-footwear-c26/cricket-spikes-c27/new-balance-ck4030-cricket-shoes-blue-white-p777)

I picked the 4020 (non-spiked) new balance up from Paul last week and i am very impressed with them. Feel very sturdy and light at the same time. If the spiked ones are the same i can see them being very popular this year

Hi David, we have Nikes in stock in 10 and 11 but no half sizes, unfortunately.  Adidas only go up to 9.5 as their distributor are very low on stock at the moment...

Out of the 3 which one would you say is the better shoe Paul?

The NB is very well priced indeed and will be a great bargain late in the season when the initial prices drop.

To be honest, I haven't even had time to try them on yet! I keep meaning to, but then realise there's another bat I need to knock in! I will get there eventually.  In the meantime, I suggest interested parties contact Chris on here because he is our resident shoes reviewer and has tried them on, at least the NB ones.  We will have videos of the Nike ones up by Saturday and should know more about them by then...

I have the Nike's - a seriously comfortable pair of spikes. I've had Asics and Adidas in the past few seasons but the Nike surpass these on comfort IMO. Not seen or tried any New Balance

Agreed, have worn Kookaburra spikes for the last 15 years or so but they seem to come up small these days so changed to ASICS in 2012. Really first class shoes but I think the Nikes knock both of them into a cocked hat. Great fit and very light.

Bought a pair of rubber soled New Balance from Uzi sports last week for indoor nets. Ordered 10 D to match the x trainers I already have and I think they are half a size small!

Never mind sold onto my son and ordered the rubber soled Nike's this morning.

Really like the look of the New Balance bowling boots. Don't know what to go for now. Asics speed menace are quality and everyone I talk to tells me how good the Nike bowling boots are. Decisions, decisions.... Which ones are lightest?

We will confirm all the weights and sizing comparisons etc. in a specific shoes video very soon.  Hopefully that'll help a few of you make your minds up!

Chris and I shot the video on weights and sizing earlier today.  We discovered that the Adidas Vector shoes are, quite comfortably, the lightest with the Nike and New Balance similar weights.  The video will be up on YouTube this evening, so check it out.

Is there any shoe that is (a) half spike, (b) light, (c) is able to convert between metal and rubber? I open the batting and bowl leg spin, if that helps.

I like the look of the Adidas, Nike and New Balance ranges, but none of them seem to be able to convert between metal and rubber.

Also, are replacement rubber studs interchangeable between brands?

You can convert the New Balance shoes into half spikes as they come with a replacement set of rubbers.

I LOVE the look of New Balance's new range. Lemme get this straight; the 4040 are the Dale Steyn bowling boots for quicks, the 4030 are allrounder's shoes, and the 4020 are for hardwicket.

In which case, it'll probably be a stack up between the 4030, the Strike Rate 3, and the Adidas / Nike options if you can replace them with rubbers too. (Does anyone know if you can?)

the Nikes come with spare blanks to convert them to half spikes. Not sure if Adidas come with blanks, but they are fitted with a standard champ spike, so will accept any generic spare blank.

That's brilliant, means effectively that I can pretty much choose any shoe I want, and not have it be an issue.

Time to go shoe shopping!
