Title: Boots
Post by: OllieWalker39 on January 29, 2016, 12:58:00 AM: Well, I've sensibly left my boots to fester in my bag... And the smell isn't pleasant nor going away! So what more reason do I need to buy new :D

Just wondering what opinions people have; ideally looking for a boot suited to batting - I'm short, so my pads get put quite a way down my boot! Haha!

Tia!

Good shout D7, here's a link in case anyone's interested http://www.adidasspecialtysports.co.uk/product/adipower-vector/B40956 (http://www.adidasspecialtysports.co.uk/product/adipower-vector/B40956)

Noticed James Taylor and Temba Bavuma using Puma spikes during the recent series. Don't know if that's a sponsorship thing or if they're good for shorter players. I've got a pair of the 2015 White/Orange spikes and I'm 6'1. Only had them since Xmas so haven't had a chance to see how the pads fit though.

Might have to invest in that sale - can't turn down a pair at £40!

Thanks so far! - Dreading the new boots, walking out squeaking...
