Title: New Balance 2016 footwear
Post by: rickjames on December 28, 2015, 06:16:20 PM
As per the title, has anyone else bought anything from their 2016 range? Thoughts? Like the look their new white/black/orange CK10, but I'm still attracted to the awful looking blue/lime green CK10's from last year as well...

Don't really need to get anything until March/April, but may as well start looking now.

Great minds think alike, spent most of the afternoon looking at NB spikes! I quite like the plain white 2015 CK10AA with black branding that Asad has on sale, as well as the orange black and white ones. I was also looking at the yellow and blue, PDC has them on sale for £45 don't know if I play enough T20 to justify a separate pair of spikes though

I saw them on Uzi as well but I'm a size 8, sigh. Might just get a pair of last years 4030's in the red colour scheme, I have a pair of the 4020 rubbers so I imagine they'll fit like a dream.

I quite like the look of the new 4050s, but rrp is way too high for my budget if I was gonna get new spikes, may just wait till the end of the season

Were those CK10's part of last years range?!?! I just assumed they fitted in with their orange/black DC colour scheme and were for 2016...

They came from vitas before he start of last season. Very highly rated shoes imo

Just noticed Amazon have the red/white 4030s for £32 odd delivered in 8s, might just go with those...

I'm a big fan of my 4030's. Highly contentious statement, I know, but I much prefer the NB over the asics spikes that I've owned

I ordered a pair of blue and white 4030s from sports direct a couple of days ago for £30 plus delivery. Should get them tomorrow.

what's the fit like, I saw IJC's review saying they may be slightly smaller. I've got ridiculously big feet so I was going to see whether it was worth going for.

I'm the wrong person to ask as in probably in a different position to most.

Outside of cricket I've only ever worn new balance for a while now, so they fit me as I expected them to.

I have a pair of 373's and 573's and they're quite easily the most comfortable pair of trainers I've ever worn. Thumbs up for me.

Thanks for the heads up. Been on the lookout for a pair for indoor nets, and netting on the artificial wickets over the summer. These will do nicely.

Having wide feet myself I find the NB's are great, they're nice and comfy from the get go, unlike asics 2E's where
there is a painful breaking in period for me. A little tip if you go a 1/2 size bigger, the length of the shoe is the same but the width
is a bit more wider.

having used 2014 NB CK4020 which were half size bigger than my foot, they felt quite narrow and made my foot soar beside everything they felt comfortable compared to asics ...
want to try 2E width which seem not available in UK even on UK NB webpage there is no option for chosing width whereas NB australia offering different widths but shipping from australia to Finland is hectic:(

Picture on twitter earlier of one of SA team spray painting the boots. Faf's boots also had some spray paint applied.
