Post by: musama91 on December 06, 2009, 09:57:42 PM: how do you spike up trainers - you cant just stick them on the rubber soles. can you?

Post by: musama91 on December 06, 2009, 10:04:42 PM: Couple of Questions: Who are brian and brenda? how much do they charge? Can I get any trainers spiked up? Where can I get spikes from?

Post by: Howzat on December 06, 2009, 10:06:14 PM: From what i understand the roles first have to be smoothed off to get rid of the tread. Then a special took is used to put the spikes into a rubber compound. The thing is then sewed onto the shoe using an industrial shoe sewing machine. Obviously theses more to it, but there are the basics.

£17-£30 depending on what you need doing.
Pretty much any although some of the ones with air pockets you didn't used to be able to. Find out from B & B.
Spikes can be bought from any cricket shop, although B & B actually do fit them in for you.

Post by: Howzat on December 06, 2009, 10:08:47 PM: Oh dear, on my phone bad spelling. Meant to say, soles and tools where the random words are.
Title: Re: How good would these look...
Post by: Howzat on December 06, 2009, 10:11:12 PM: From what i have heard its nearly impossible to fit them yourself though. B and B are best people to send to as they have this machine that sews the soles on

Post by: Howzat on December 15, 2009, 05:42:49 PM: Cricket shoes should be predominantly white in my opinion.
Title: Re: How good would these look...
Post by: slogger02 on December 15, 2009, 05:44:27 PM: thats what i would generally say, but i might break the trend!
Title: Re: How good would these look...
Post by: GJ on December 15, 2009, 05:56:12 PM: Quite extravagent! Might as well give it a go!
Title: Re: How good would these look...
