Title: Asics Gel advance vs payntr X MK2
Post by: azim91 on April 27, 2018, 01:24:49 PM: Thinking of switching from my SL22 Boosts to either the gel advance 6 or the 2018 Payntr X MK2. The reason I'm switching is because I find I was slipping alot on the square when fielding in the SL22 boost and I could never use them for batting as I'd slip too often. I'm primarly a batsman and a fielder so anyone had any experience with the 2? which one is the most comfortable. I also felt with the SL22 boost after 50 years i felt sore in the feet!!!

If you are looking for a comparison between the Payntr and Asics, then I would say both are very good shoes, but the Asics are a class above! They really are very comfortable and would be my 1st choice.
