Hi Guy,
Just looking for some new spikes this year. I've seen some New Balance CK4030 and Nike Vector but just wondering which ones are the most comfortable or any other spikes you would recommend.
Thanks :D
-
I'd put my vote in for spiking a pair of trainers

I've always been an Asics user, their higher end models are like trainers with spikes anyway!
Very tempted to get a pair of Nikes though :)
-
I've got a set of the new Adidas Howzat full spikes from Jake at Vitas, these are the entry model but the ones a lot of the pro's use so I'm told.
From my point of view I've only tried them on to check size etc but they seem for the few minutes I've worn them to have a very soft feel to them. They are also great value for a full spike with some toe protection for batting.
-
In my experience puma are always good. Try them on before as they usually come up 1/2 smaller I find
-
New balance 40 30! had them last year. Very very good.
waiting for vitas to get the new ones and I'm gonna order some.

I got a set of the 2014 NB 4030 spikes from allrounder last week. They are much more comfortable than the asics ones I used last season

How much were they mate
-
They were definitely less than 50 quid, think it was about 47? They had quite a few sizes still from last years stock in both the blue and orange.

Note: I'm normally a size 9
Last season I had a pair of Nike Lunar Dominate (size 9), which split after one or two matches. After a refund I then replaced them with a pair of Adidas 2014 Adipower Vector. I brought the Adidas in a size 10, due to the US/UK sizing. I found them to be slightly too big and wished that a 9.5 had been available (they were out of stock everywhere). They also don't look as good in the flesh (i.e. close up), as they're very plastic looking IMO.
I also tried some New Balance CK4020 Turf and found the size 9.5 were too narrow.
Because of my poor fitting Adidas, I've picked up a pair of Asics Gel Advance 5 in the PD sale (size 9.5). I haven't worn them in a game yet, but they're very light and comfy.
My advice would be that Adidas and New Balance sizes are a bit on the small size. Also that Asics and New Balance are on the narrow side.

Depends what you do. Addidas for bowling if you wear hard on your feet and Asics for fielding

ehh...so you change shoes between bowling and fielding?

I'm a spin bowler and I bat mid-low order and normally field close in i.e slips, silly point, covers and midwicket
-

I could lol. Hide them in my pockets
-
Yes I do. I'm a Med/fast bowler at about 15 stone I need a decent bowling boot. I open the bowling so go out in my Adidas 22yd mid's and leave the Asics on the boundary to change in to after my spell. The Asics are lovely for fielding but not enough support for bowling. Might just be because I'm heavy on my feet.
-
If you're a spin bowler or light on your feet then you definitely don't need big bowling boots, I've done two seasons using Asics Gel Advance for everything and they've held up just fine, and I'm 6'3" and when I bowl it's pace (ish haha) off a huge run up.

Im going for the new NB spikes once Jake has them in stock
-
Hi lads do any of you know anywhere selling this seasons new red Nike spikes and is there anywhere offering a good deal on them?
-
Don't think they are available untill feb so most retailers will be at or around the same price
give or take a pound or two

I'm hoping that last years model then goes stupidly cheap when the new ones are available!
Really tempted to try a pair of Nike's but can't justify paying full price with 2 perfectly serviceable pairs of Asics :-[

Hi mate I was considering getting a pair of last season's nikes aswell they are around half price on Pro direct as are the New balance spikes, so definitely worth a look!
-
I am in need of new shoes also. My adidas 22yds have served well for last 4 seasons or whatever the black stripes year was.
I will try to find a shop which stocks most brands just to try on size before ordering online [unless the shop price is better].

Yh that's what I'm gonna do when i visit All Rounder later this week.

Yh went good picked up a pair of 2014 NB Ck4030 for £47 and they're well stocked with 2015 kit and still have a kit left over from 2014. Some really nice kit there was really tempted to buy some new pads an bat. They had a nice GN Legend a bit too light for me though but forgot to take any pics as I was in an hurry.
Very good customer service very helpful answering any questions I had. Also gave some good advice on kit.
They couldn't be more helpful hopefully they'll help you pick stuff to add to your collection.lol
-
Has anyone used their spikes in nets after taking the spikes out?
I tried it with my 22yds but found myself to be a bit off balance.
-
Tried that one in my Asics Gel Gully's or whatever other lacklustre name they have.
Deathtrap.
Went flying a lot. Would not recommend. (That was with the astro blocker things).
-
What do we think the best spikes are this year?
I'm a really good fielder (if only the other parts of my game were any good...), and have cone to the conclusion that I should invest in gear that will help me field, as opposed to buying a new bat every 2 weeks.
I like the Purple Pumas, and £70 from PDC is a good price.
The new NB CK10 'Minimus'? look promising, as does the Asics Gel Advance 6- all of a similar ilk.
Anyone own these and can give me pointers? Needs to be super light and comfy.
-
If you have had any achilles problems (like me), I would definitely go for a shoe without a horrible bit of solid plastic at the back of the shoe. I purchased a pair of Gray Nicolls then some Asics and both had this rigid bit of plastic which meant every time I ran, it would dig into my achilles. In the end I purchased a second hand pair of Adidas (off Ebay) which has leather where this offending bit of plastic is on the 2 shoes previously mentioned and subsequently much more comfortable.
-
Best shoes will depend on fit in my opinion. Tried a lot of trainers and Adidas fits me better, Asics are too wide and Pumas too narrow. So I am assuming spikes will be similar fit hence wanting to try a few in store rather than buy online.
Do you know why the Pumas are called multi purpose ooh and very ott color scheme.
