Title: Asics Gel Advance 3 LE or Asics Gel 180 NO ???
Post by: SeanTuohey on February 21, 2011, 09:09:12 PM: Hi Guys,

I like both pair of these but would like a bit of recommendation of which is the better shoe if anybody has them or has had the same style?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Sean

Have ordered a pair through Pinchy - hopefully receiving them later this week. Will try and do a review on the cosmetics and comfort - hopefully this may help?

Post by: SillyShilly on February 21, 2011, 09:41:48 PM: I will be comparing them to http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=2262.msg25079#msg25079 - the gel advances in this post. They have been the best spikes i have owned, so i'm hoping the gel advance 3's are lighter, more supportive and equally as comfortable.

Does anybody know if spare asics spikes are available to buy? I've been looking for a while but cant seem to track them down.......are they available or just an urban myth???

I just bought a pair of Advance 3s the other day having had the lime green adidas low cut spikes for 2 years. Compared to the advances, I thought the 180s seemed quite bulky stiff- I bowl medium pace but still prefer something light and flexible to feel the ground I run on. I expect to use the advnaces for bowling aswell as batting. They are definitely more low to the ground than other shoes which I think gives a far better feel for batting. My only criticism is that asics persist in placing only 2 spikes in the rear and I always play with full spikes. It only becomes apparent when playing on rock hard pitches, which come about once every blue moon if you play in the Northern League!
