Title: Adidas Vector boots
Post by: Bruce on April 01, 2014, 08:16:38 AM

Hello gents,
Anyone got these yet? I'm guessing no one has used them in  anger yet but would like to get some initial thoughts on the boots.
Thanks

I've used Adidas for a while and never had a bad shoe. Thinking of getting these soon

Decent boot and very well constructed, bought a pair for my Dad and ive got the SL22 for the season.

Vector offer a bit more support than the SL22 as they are meant as more of a low cut bowling boot i believe.

Yeah, I saw that. 'Designed in conjunction with Jimmy Anderson' I see lots are using them to bat and field in too.
Think I'll get a pair  :)

Tom - are the Howzat boots OK? I don't really want to spend much more than £50. Alright for batting and keeping I assume...

hi mate i havent seen or tried them on tbh as not had the chance to get down to our local retailer lately.

the sole looks like its the same mould they have used on the older models so im sure it offers a sound base and solid boot when put through its paces.
