Would damage the wicket when batting I'd have thought.

Speaking of Adidas shoes, do we know what the 2016 cricket offering is looking like from then?

How exactly?

You could wear them i guess but still think a cricket shoe would be a better option.

I guess my hockey astro shoes would be good to field in but the hassle of changing them to bowl rules that out.

On a similar note, on especially wet outfields, I know a couple of lads who wear rugby boots for added grip.

I used to use a pair of Dita ones when I batted.  They were good for hard and dry pitches, but the slickness of the wet pitch negated everything I found.

They had the bobbles round the edge so the grip of turning when running was better that general spikes.  You couldn't make a very clear line though when taking guard.

I'd suggest to try them if you are a hockey player, but not go out and buy them specifically.
