Bit of an odd question, but i thought it might be interesting to get peoples views and experiences -
what do people think are the most 'cushioned' or 'bouncy' cricket shoes? I've tried a couple of brands that i feel are a bit hard, less cushioned, particularly on sun baked outfields.
Seeing as I'm built for comfort and not speed, I think I'd like my shoes to reflect this!
-
Payntrs or Asics for me.
I get really bad pain in my heels throughout the cricket season and these are the only two brands that I've worn that I don't.
-
For me the adidas boost is the comfiest and bounciest cricket shoe. Although I'm not a fan of the plastic spikes as I find they don't give nearly as much grip as traditional spikes.
-
I’ve always used ASICS with inserts to stop my pronation. Works a treat for me cushioning wise, I am also built for comfort not stealth!
-
Another vote for Adidas from me
-
Sorry can i jump in on this thread... looking for batting spikes. Thinking of trying adidas as I have a pair of white trainers use sometimes and they are comfy.
What's the difference between the howzat range and vectors? Or Boosts?
The Howzats are cheaper? What are they conceding on?
-
I used sl22 this year, mega comfy and light, (No Swearing Please) grip tho
My old asics will be binned, hoping I can pick a new pair of Adidas up for this season

You don't know how they are fit wise? Are they similar to their trainers?
-
My boost spikes are easily the best cricket-specific shoes I've had, I also own ultraboosts and think the cushioning is very similar despite the boost layer being thinner in the cricket shoe.
@Yorkershire the fit is very close to the trainer, I have the same size cricket shoe and trainer
-
Yeah same as trainer, can’t recommend these enough
So light, I can’t feel I’ve got em on
-
Thanks I'm split between SL22 or Howzats.
Anyone have experience of the howzats?
They look wider?

The howzats are a hybrid shoe so offer more protection for the ankle when bowling but are heavier as a result. The sl22s are designed soley for batting so are lighter.
-
I bowled 110 overs last season in mine, ok for bowling too,(at least at my dibbly dobbly pace)
-
Thanks gone with the Sl22s. I use NB 4040 for fielding, I hardly bowl but have a bad ankle and like the extra support.
-
Does anyone have experience of jazba cricket spikes?
-
Iv seen them my teammates wear them. Theyr doing the whole memory foam thing like sketchers. And theyr quite comfy. Not a fan of the finishing quality of the rest of the shoes though. Wish sketchers made cricket shoes
-
SL22 boosts from my end, I do long off to long off for 20-25 overs each week so cover a fair ivy of ground. Very comfortable and plenty of cushioning in the sole plate as you’d expect from a trainer like sole with no spikes.
I use my ASICS advance 6’s to Bat it but they are heavy by comparison.
-
What did you do to upset your captain that badly??
-
Haha sadly I’m quite good at catching and we’ve got 2 spinners so I get the short straw of going where the ball goes most.
-
Another benefit of the boosts is that they can be used for golf!
-
Very true, I’ve worn mine quite a few times to hack around the course
-
i have ordered the sl22 full spikes but the boosts are intriguing me... :o
anyone had both?
-
Ive not worn the SL22 but sent out a good few pairs, they are comfortable but the Boosts have a compeltely different sole plate to the spikes as they are built like a trainer rather than a boot.
-
New Balance CK10 for me.

Lol, seems like poor copy of HS. I have seen quite a few around.

They do have some traits from other brands but look a good effort in my opinion. If anything they look more original than HS. HS look complete rip off Adidas.
-
Jazba remind me of the Nike shoes. I quite like them!

That is true - Pakistani and Indians at time are amazing at stealing designs. Not sure if you have seen SS's new shoes.
-
The SS ripoff of the Payntrs is disgraceful.

Yet unsurprising as it’s been done before and will be done again #LazyDesigners

But then was it SS as @Buzz said?
SS is perhaps the biggest brand out there.
I am surprised the design wasn't copyrighted.

Another chalk up for Adidas Boosts closely followed by the Asics Gel ODI which whilst low profile are still the most comfortable boots I’ve worn. Shame about the steap price point!
