Title: What type of cricket shoes to buy?
Post by: drmimran on July 14, 2019, 11:54:53 PM: Hey guys

New member here. Trying to get back into cricket after a 10 year break away from the game. Im a wicket keeper batsman and wanted to ask which type of cricket shoes to buy please. Whats the purpose behind having full or half spikes? I have also seen Adidas and Puma have a cricket shoe which has little spikes made from rubber. Puma claim they can be used on any pitch - is that true?

And this is the puma one that 'can be used for matches as well as for training on firm ground, artificial wickets or at indoor nets':

But buy from pro cricket out @Ayrtek Cricket for better prices.

Depending on the mood I typically field in the spikes and bat in the boosts... I know people do opposite but I feel I always get bogged down with spikes when I bat... I like batting in the boosts.

Although I am liking the Pumas an NBs too. I think there are some great options out there and you won't go wrong with any of the big footwear bands. Try on a few and go with what suits you!

Hi mate, do you sell Adidas stuff then? Can I use the boost shoes on grass, turf and nets too?

You could probably use em on astro but I wouldn't say they're ideal for it. The 'spikes' at he bottom are hard plastic. Great shoes though!
