I have just returned from Brian & Brenda Cricket Shoes in Harrow to get a pair of Nike Court Vapor Lite White/Black trainers fully spiked by them. From the outside, you would not think much of it apart from when you look in the shop window and see some cricket memorabilia, but when you go inside, there is a jukebox playing away and hanging up on the back wall are numerous photos of cricketers from various eras who have used their service.
They are only open from 10:00 to 11:00 Monday to Saturday due to personal reasons, so I had to take the opportunity to go there and take a very early lunch hour to get there (luckily my full time occupation is based in Borehamwood, so it is not that far from there).
I was advised by Brian that it is a 3 week turnaround, which I completely understand but for £30, I am not going to complain, looking forward to seeing the finished result in 3 weeks time.
I currently have a pair of Nike Revolution 5 Triple White trainers that were spiked by Cheshire Shoe Repairs for £52 (including return delivery) last season; due to the upper material, they are not as white as they was (should have choose a trainer with better upper material).
I recently attempted to convert an old and dilapidated pair of Nike Air Max 95 trainers of mine into spikes, but I did fail to create a bond between the sole of the trainer and the new spiked sole I had created, mainly due to the sole of the trainer have multiple grooves at different depths; I am looking to carry out my own attempt again on a pair of trainers with a flatter sole but was wondering if anyone on here could give me any advice, guidance, assistance on this; anything would be truly grateful as I have the materials for the sole and spikes/fixings, just need to know what is the best glue and what is the best method to obtain the best bond between the trainer and spiked sole.

I thought it wasn't possible to spike an Air trainer? Or at least the Air part of it?
-
Brian and Brenda had previously converted a pair of Nike Air Max 90 trainers through Owzat for me many, many years ago, but it was a leather sole not rubber. I think it is easier to convert tennis trainers into cricket spikes due to the sole being flatter than other trainers. I thought I'd give it a go on my trainers as they were already falling apart and it was worth a try to attempt it on something.
-
Flatter shoes don't have the benefits of cushioning that running shoes do.

Stop you just tried to stick a new sole onto the existing sole? Isn't the idea to remove the original sole (or part of) before applying the new spiked sole?
I could be completely wrong there, never done it myself
-

My Revolution 5 trainers are comfortable, I cannot wait for my Nike Court Vapor Lite to be spiked.
A brief product description from the Nike website, which I have modified slightly:
Like a racing car, the Nike Court Vapor Lite keeps most of its features under the bonnet. Its unique cushioning system is built to help you get to your destination as fast as you can. An innovative, 4-point strap takes inspiration from racing-car harnesses to help keep your foot locked down. All in a lightweight, breathable design that's incredibly comfortable. Extra-durable mesh breathes to help keep your feet cool. A moulded rubber overlay on the medial side helps prevent wear from toe drag. Soft foam is placed near your arch so it's easier to align your ankle with your foot. Harder foam along the outside of your foot helps you push off during fast movements.

The existing sole is very worn and I did try to take more off of it; I attempted to remove part of the existing sole with a stanley knife but there was too many grooves and it went a bit wrong.

I would have thought they'd be cut away or kind of sanded/ground off maybe? Either way I'd think the original sole (or part of of) would be removed

Usually its ground down like this as jonny says

How do you ground it down?
-
Haven't a clue. That's what you pay the experts to do. ;)
I would think some sort of drum/belt sander. But that's a guess.
-
I'd go the same guess. Either a bench grinder or sander of some sort

I want to be an expert in this field, but we've all got to start somewhere; I did try a belt sander before it packed up on me; I have another pair of trainers I could attempt and as they say, there's no harm in trying and if first you don't succeed, try try again.

There is a company in Castleford, West Yorkshire called Shoe Sheriff run by Derren Smith (having only messaged him through social media; I asked him for some advice, but I got a rather rude, obnoxious and abrupt response; I understand what it is part of his business but how he replied to me was unnecessary) and he is charging £65 including postage and based on my communication with him, I will not be using his services.
I am going to have to learn the trade I guess.

I do like AOB Custom Kicks' (Aidan O'Brien) business model, which has inspired me; I have been messaging him through social media, he is based in Colchester, Essex.
I know he has provided pre spiked trainers for Will Buttleman (Brentwood & Essex), Shane Snater (Essex), Luc Benkenstein (Essex, son of Dale Benkenstein), Ben Cox (Worcestershire), Ollie Robinson (Kent), Scott Steel (Leicestershire), Liam Patterson-White (Nottinghamshire), Matthew Critchley (Essex), Brett D'Oliveira (Worcestershire), Saif Zaib (Northamptonshire), Tom Moores (Nottinghamshire), Billy Root (Glamorgan, brother of Joe Root), Stephen Eskinazi (Middlesex), Adam Rossington (Essex), Will Smeed (Somerset), Michael Pepper (Essex) and Jason Roy (Surrey & England).
As he already has a lot of Essex players as his clientele, I wouldn't be able to persuade them through ex Chingford players of Dan Lawrence and Jamie Porter.
Completely off topic, a lot of other club members have managed to acquire kit from Essex players in particularly Dan and Jamie; however, one of our players managed to obtain a pair of Peter Siddle's Nike cricket spikes.
If you have seen/read on my other posts, I am rather a stickler for sticking with a certain brand and in my case for footwear (including football boots), I use Nike.
Nike do not sell their own version of cricket spikes in the UK but I did find that they were available on an Indian website however they did not have my size.
Having spoken to a fellow club member who had played county 2nd XI, minor counties and university cricket; they informed told me that they may have used Brian and Brenda to convert the trainers into cricket spikes; this is only speculation.
I have been speaking to another person who has been carrying out his own trainer conversion and he has provided me with some rather handy information.
I have plenty of the rubber material to create the spiked sole, I have different types of glues to bond the spiked sole to the trainer but it is just having the trainers to work on; I have another old pair of trainers that I am going to attempt.

For his "Custom Kicks"; he uses a lady based in Colchester called Yelena Yloisa.

When I spoke to Brian yesterday, he confirmed that AOB Custom Kicks is one of his customers.

The spiked trainers fad seems to be dying out amongst pros. I think because 'shelf' shoes have improved so much. Somerset always seem to have a few pairs, as they have that Shoe Doctor place down the road in Taunton.
-
I collected my Nike Court Vapor Lite trainers that Brian spiked for me on Friday and I have got to admit they didn't look great, the sole wasn't flush/flat, the stitching was falling apart, the finishing between the spiked sole and the trainer was awful and gaps were appearing between the spiked sole and trainer; I did wear them Saturday and they were comfort and did the job especially with figures of 11-4-25-3 opening the bowling with off spin.
I have purchased a pair of Nike Court Air Zoom Vapor Pro from Nike as they were on special offer and I will be sending them to Cheshire Shoe Repair to spike for me.

I'd actually argue the last two years it has taken off again! Coloured kits and Asics/ Nike being easily available meaning the choices are quite limited.

Agree. I sent some for spiking and used them a little this season and they have not lasted long at all. The sole has come apart. The finishing was not great. Wonder if others have had similar experiences with trainer spiking.
-
I had a 4 pairs done through Owzat over the years (Brian and Brenda I believe) and had the same issue every time, not the best finish and the edge past the stitching would spilt/come apart.
My current pair were done by the Shoe Dr and the finish is 100% better. Although I’m not sure if he’s still doing them as he’s not on Twitter anymore or an option on the M&H website?
-
Had two Asics gel cross`s and a Puma Trinomic done by B+B in the past,not one issue,finished perfectly and never lost a stud.....had some Vapour Lite`s done for this season and ditto,tho one stud has dropped out..recommended to several of my team mates,no complaints
However,i do believe there maybe some illness in their family so bear with if you send off !

I capture a 10 second video of them to show my club mates but you cannot see in the video how they actually look. As I have previously said, I did wear them to play Saturday and as I am one of those players that puts a 110% whilst fielding, they did get rather dirty.

Take for instance Chris Gayle's footwear, he has had trainers customised and spiked for his numerous franchise cricket appearance around the world.
I find that existing standard cricket footwear are too bulky and are only manufactured by your standard cricket manufacturers (Gray Nicolls, Kookaburra, Gunn & Moore) whilst Adidas, Asics and New Balance are more renowned brands for footwear.
I have gone for the spiked trainer approach as my prefer brand is Nike as I have probably mentioned previously in other posts and that I am a brand w***e.

My first ever pair of trainers spiked were through Owzat and carried out by Brian and Brenda; the sole was leather, so they did not last long for me; I did like the black rubber shoe to my Nike Court Vapor Lite but it is just a shame about the stitching and the finish with the spiked sole attached to the trainer. It is a shame as Brian and Brenda have run that business since 1961.
I have been carry out my own thorough research and came across the Shoe Doctor but when you go from their website to their spiking service, you are re-directed to the M&H website and it displays an error message; I can no longer find the link and there is nothing on M&H's website about trainer spiking.

I always tighten my studs/spikes as I have the bit as a drill bit so I can attach it to a screwdriver (manual or electrical). Luckily I did not show my newly spiked trainers to the customer behind me as he was there to get a pair spiked too.
According to the conversation I had with Brian, Brenda has dementia.
-
I've had similar experiences with B+B which is a shame considering how long they have been around. I tried out Cheshire Shoe Repairs like a few others mentioned and cant fault their work on two pairs of kayanos
-
Personally never seen the benefit of spiked trainers and judging by the comments seems a bit of a waste except for the fact you may get some individuality from a spiked pair of trainers. Don’t believe anything will be a good overall as Adidas cricket shoes based on the fact that they are the market leader in terms of footwear in sort overall I believe and the RD budgets and teams must be best in there fields.
Just replaced my SL22 boost with a new pair and last ones last 5 seasons so god knows how many pairs of trainers would have gone through. Also ones I seem to see sold are like entry level trainers that are then sold at £100+ Due to now being spiked, still low quality footwear in a lot of instances.
Any way just my view from a happy Adidas customer lol

Jason Roy currently batting in a pair of Nike Vapor Lites spiked up

Does Roy field in the same shoes? If you've got Jason Roy money to throw at kit it might make more financial sense 😅

I am the same, more from an injury point of view. Bad Achilles so trainers are a life saver

Adam Rossington of Essex is wearing a pair of spiked Nike Revolution 5. As mentioned, they seem to pick up dirt!

Nike Court Vapour lite are incredibly comfortable and B+B converted superbly, much recommended

Matt Critchley was wearing these. The Thornster clearly has his finger on the pulse.
-
My pair of Nike Court Vapor Lite were converted by Brian & Brenda; after a couple of games wearing them, the rubber sole has become dilapidated so I got a pair of Nike Court Air Zoom Vapor Pro converted by Cheshire Shoe Repairs and after a few games wear and being broken in, they are a really great pair to get converted.

Morning anyone know how much the AOB service costs at all please. I can't seem to access their website...
Thanks

They only sell their own selection, depends on the shoe but starts at ~£180+
Can't fault the lads, great service/product but obviously comes at a cost.

Thanks Adam.
Good for them. Out of my price range that...

It's why I used the broad term - 'interesting'
The Asics look ok but are not cheap. Mind you, I was looking at running shoes the other day... Wow. They are not cheap. The perils of being bigger and old.

There are clearer pics on their Facebook page. The soles on the NB trainers look like they would be super comfortable if we get another hot summer with concrete wickets.
The Shoe Sheriff has been mentioned in another thread. Pics look good:

I've had a look at the Nike baseball shoes. I think you're fine fielding in them but anything on a grass wicket would be problematic as the stud is much thicker (matron!). It would chew up the surface much more than a conventional spike imo.
