Can't remember how much they were last year...

I'm not looking forward to seeing how much the new Flywire nike shoes are going to be, so in comparison these will probably be half the price of those.

As someone did mention on the forum before... They are a very important part of your kit as you're going to be standing on your feet whether batting, bowling or fielding for a fair while so it is important you get something comfortable and sometimes it is worth buying quality footwear for times like this.

I think most of the time the asics shoes will be priced at £50, I have had the same pair of boots for 3 years, I think i might do the trainers and get them spiked up as i prefer comfort to bat in, Especially over a long day batting and in the field.

They were selling for £80 this year, but trade is much lower so deals available.

nike will be at £135 RRP for the top boot down to £90 RRP for the bottom boot, these will be discounted by the retailers, not in stock yet so keep an eye out.

asics will be £90 for their top boot, but again discounted at retailers and they are available early november, see next issue of AOC for details on the new models.
